The Derbyshire dessert is close to the company’s heart- hailing from the county in which the chocolate factory is located. Now, though, in true patriotic style, Thorntons need you! Their Great Chocolate Britain campaign is on the hunt for regionally-inspired flavours from the Highlands to the Downs. They’re open to anything- though Somerset scrumpy is clearly more likely to be a winner that Suffolk sausages. Don’t let that stop you, though. You never know.
But, when a year’s supply of chocolate, a visit to the kitchens at Thornton Park, and the chance to see your product on sale on every high street are at stake, you might want to make your entry count. Your fellow countrymen will be your judges, so do them proud. Lie back and think of England… and Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Keith’s already dreamed up flavours including Jam Roly Poly, Apple Pie & Custard, Lemon Sussex Pond Pudding, and Bananas and Custard- so a spot of thinking outside the (chocolate) box is on the menu. You’ll need to make it snappy, though- entries close at the end of July, with the winning choc on sale in Thorntons stores from October.
