Explaining QR codes

Hello Chocoholics!

We've got some exciting bits and pieces lined up for our Winter 2011 season, including some brand new chocolates (some of which are exclusively designed by Chocolates for Chocoholics). If you've been following us on Facebook, you'll have already seen a few sneak peeks at what's to come!

Our new range, and the catalogue, will be available from the 5th September. When you receive our catalogue, you might notice a funny little box on the back, like the one on the right.

That funny little box is a QR code. It's a bit like a bar code you scan with a special app on your phone, which then takes you to a link, picture, map or various other websites. The one on the back of the catalogue will take you to our website, so you don't have to type in the address. We want to make it as easy as possible for you to visit us! :)

Keep an eye out for a QR code promotion we'll be running during the season too.

There are a number of apps you can download for free to scan QR codes. Check out QR Reader for the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad, the QR Code Scanner Pro for the Blackberry or QR Droid for Android phones.

Make your own chocolate ice cream

Eating chocolate when it's hot like this can be a bit of a sticky mess. As much as we love melted chocolate (particularly in a fondue), hot weather like this calls for a yummy chocolate ice cream.

We rather like this short video for making your very own chocolate ice cream. It always tastes a little better that way, right?



How do you like your chocolate in the summer?

The new Chocolates for Chocoholics Celebration range

The demand from customers wanting a copy of our new weddings and celebration brochure has been huge. In many parts of the country you can also get a copy with You and Your Wedding magazine.

Although we had hoped to be able to supply orders via our website by now it is taking us a little longer than we expected to set it all up. We want to introduce a few new facilities with the site update and we are sure you will be happy with it when it is finally 'live'.

In the meantime you are welcome to contact us directly by phone, or if you normally deal with a local Distributor they might be able to help.

Wedding Bouquets

Our gardens this year are beginning to get full of a glorious range of flowers that would make great wedding bouquets. They are also encouraging visits for all sorts of wildlife including butterflies, dragonflies and bees.

We decided to use this as a theme for one of our range of wedding favours and we are delighted to present our Butterfly Collection. The decorations on the boxes have a real summer theme to them and many have the butterfly decoration

All our wedding favours are packed to order and we can normally turn your order round very quickly.

Please call us on 01189 321043 for a free brochure

Wedding favours and table gifts

We've just had a meeting with some of our Chocoholics Distributors where we launched our new range of wedding favours and table gifts.

As you can see from the image with this post we have tried to put together a range of favours with a common colour theme so that you can dress your tables as attractively as possble.

We can produce the favours in a wide variety of colours and styles and you can view them all by requesting a copy of our new brochure on 01189 321043. The full range will also be available online shortly.

Happy Easter Weekend everyone!

Hope you're all having a lovely long Easter weekend, and eating lots of chocolate!

We'll leave you with this cute little chocolate cartoon...

Happy Easter!
