Willie's chocolate

Recommended Posts

Went to Waitrose yesterday to buy some of Willie Harcourt-Cooze's new chocolate bars. OMG ... £2.99 for a small packet. It better taste good, especially as the plantation next to his also has it's larger bars for sale in Waitrose for around £2.

 

I'd scoff it now and report back to you but we have given up chocolate for lent to support our son.

 

Anybody tasted any?

He puts chocolate in everything - he amazes me! Those cylinder packaged blocks of chocolate do look posh - not seen his new bars, but I bet they have them in Waitrose. You just have to try these things then convince yourself that you're not really keen, so that you avoid spending £2.99 again! :wink:

They do have them in Waitrose, and Selfridges I believe.

I don't know where else you can buy them but they are definitely in Waitrose. I should have looked in John Lewis really as the two are connected.

 

Willie is trying to break into the market of commercial chocolate bars but £2.99 is very steep.

I meant to say, his cooking bars are very good but be aware that they are £5.99 and you really need 2 for some of the recipes. We were caught out when making the chocolate cake as we only bought one bar. When we got home we found that we needed one for the cake and one for the topping (recipes are on the inside of the wrapper).

 

:roll:

I love him - he's whacky & easy going. He follows his dream no matter what his wife or the bank say. He just goes for it. I think his wife is a bit pathetic. He is very entertaining & an excellent cook. Does his wife ever cook? Sorry, but she seems a lazy so & so.

Willie is wonderful!

Going to get some of his stuff today, as the chocolate cake sounds yummy!

I have a block of his orginal solid cacoa (sp?) and I am a bit tight with it :oops: and havent made his chocolate cake as didnt want to spend the whole £6 on it!!!

 

i have added it to some things and made hot chocolate but thats about it.

 

Think will stop being tight and just use it to make some truffles or something.
