Cocoa post, from us to you

This is one my favourite jobs in Cocoa so I thought I would share it with you. We have an online shop (as well as a real one) which looks like this...

 

And this is our most popular product online, the Spanish Drinking Chocolate. If you have had it you'll get why...

 

 So when we get an order this is what we do, collect the products. In this case 4 Spanish Drinking Chocolate blocks (told you it was popular!)

 Put the bars in Cocoa bags...

Wrap them up...

Bubble wrap them...

Pop them in a nice jiffy bag...

 Write a little note to the customer, this is for Aiden in Northern Ireland.

 This is the other side of the card...

 Stamp the Cocoa logo on the bag...

 And add the address, ready for the post. Fortunately for us we go to Sharrowvale road Post Office which is round the corner. I love this bit as I know how exciting getting post is and I like to be part of that.

If you or your friends would like us to do the same for you please visit our Cocoa shop here.

Chocolate Ravioli

Today I thought I would show you what's inside this intriguing box...

 

And this is what they look like

 White Chocolate with Cardamom...

 Milk Chocolate with Sea Salt...

Dark chocolate with Chilli...

Can I eat them now? If like me you are tempted to eat them they are available in our shop and online here

Cocoa ladies meet 'Chocolat' author Joanne Harris

In Cocoa we get told by many customers that our shop reminds them of the book (and the film) Chocolat by Joanne Harris. Although we are very much still waiting for our Johnny Depp! So when we heard Joanne Harris was coming to Sheffield we were really excited. She was doing a talk on her new book (and third sequel to chocolat), Peaches for Monsieur le Cure.

 The talk took place in the Sheffield Library Theatre. It was really interesting to hear about how she feels about her writing and her characters. She spoke about being drawn to coming back to the characters in Chocolat time after time. We were lucky enough to meet her at the end and get this very cheesy picture of me, Joanne and Kate.

My mum and our dear friend Katie also came with us to the talk. Me and Mum recognised a few Cocoa book club people there too!

  

We were also lucky to get our copy of Chocolat signed to Cocoa. This actually lives in Cocoa if anyone wants to see it.

 Really pleased Sheffield Librarys put on such interesting events, check out future events here.
