One lucky chocolate lover can win a year's supply of chocolate thanks to The Canny Chocolate Company

Chocolatier 'The Canny Chocolate Company' is giving away a year's supply of chocolate as well as the chance for one lucky chocolate lover to visit the South Shields chocolate factory with up to five guests.

The award winning business was founded by Chocolatier Kevin Reay in 2020 and creates luxury hand crafted Chocolates.

Kevin and his team make everything by hand in the chocolate factory in small batches only using the best ingredients from around the world. To celebrate the release of the new 'Wonka' movie, and to say thank you to customers and spread some festive joy, Kevin wanted to do something spectacular.

He said: "What better way could we possibly do this than by giving away a whole years supply of chocolate to one lucky chocolate lover.

"Not only this but the lucky winner will have the opportunity to bring themselves and up to five guests down to our factory to work as chocolatiers for the day too!”

“One of the great perks of running your own business is being able to give back and surprise your customers and entering the giveaway couldn’t be easier. It is open to everyone and no purchase is necessary.”

To enter the competition head over to the chocolatier's Facebook or Instagram pages @thecannychocolatecompany, like the competition post, say what you would do with a years supply of chocolate and who you would bring with them to the chocolate factory.
