Chocolate Week returns for a 14th consecutive year, celebrating the world of fine chocolate from 15 to 21 October, 2018.
Chocolate Week aims to promote fine flavour chocolate, the independent artisan chocolatiers and the chocolate companies who work in direct partnership with cocoa farmers, encouraging consumers to pay a fairer price for their chocolate.
To mark the occasion, George has been busy in the kitchen, creating a chocolate pudding fit for kings and queens.
