Same thing with me. When you get to the last box just press enter on your keyboard. (edited)

The sample is 150g. Can't be arsed personally. It's good stuff though, got a 2kg pack of it off Amazon once.

Used to use Amazon mainly, until a fellow HUKD member kindly put me onto these guys:

cfw.co.uk/

Much better prices if you buy a good quantity, even with delivery. If you want just one bag, it's Amazon or eBay.

" please enter your details below"
And theres nothing else on the page.. hmm..

Got bags and bags (2.5kg bags) of the stuff already for the Velvetiser. It's high quality (they supply most chocolate manufacturers across the world, including Hotel Chocolat and Tony's) and pretty cheap from the right place, with no VAT - far cheaper than Hotel Chocolat sachets.

Good company to deal with too - they very kindly sent me a 2.5kg bag on one occasion after a bad experience with an eBay seller. I'm not ripping them off for a 150g sample!

Ordered some as an "Other" in the link

The quality of that iframe is awful. I mean a iframe is bad enough but there are http (not secure) redirects and resources trying to load (they get blocked by the browser) and there is an IP address location checker call in JS that fails (good) along with a terrible amount of missing attributes. It's so bad!

In theory you should be able to go here go.pardot.com/l/2…vqx to get direct access to the form. The date on that form scares me a little too

Free choc and a chance to find a deer 🦌 dont mind if i do 👌

Its a 150g bag

For people actually interested on the website there are some fabulous recipes for us bakers which is what it’s intended for as the intensity of the chocolate will be too much to sit there and just chomp through like a bar of Cadburys.

im tempted to buy some now, they are certainly getting some good publicty from this...

maybe they should sell direct to consumers, there is certainly a demand for it
the whole traceable thing sounds good, i bet consumers would buy this in the store if it had that (edited)

Essential - it does need to be blitzed in a blender or similar to break up the callets. Best done when they're cold, otherwise they warm up and tend to melt with the heat generated.

Well worth the effort though - HC sachets bought at full price work out at £37 per kg, but this is £6.40 per kg (excluding delivery).

Anyone received their chocolates?!

See above - they were warned off! Not that they wouldn’t have spotted it anyway

Ordered.Thanks OP
Could only do it in incognito mode!

Can’t enter my details…

They probably gained new customers who wouldn’t have heard of them otherwise

Didn't work for me in Avast browser, so switched to Chrome and no problem.

Ordered, at least i'm honest about my catering profession too.

Tip:1.
if on phone select 'use desktop site'
Tip 2 'go incongnito'
Tip 3 and use landscape (edited)

Spoil sport... some businesses for example fragrances thrive from free samples and give out hundreds of thousands a day. They eventually equates to new favourites, regular purchases and loyal customers and fan bases. (edited)

Another "deal" that I hope is not honoured to anyone but the below

Off to sell a jar of homemade piccalilli to my neighbour for a penny.....

I think all these fake professional bakers need to have a good hard look at themselves in the mirror. Merry Christmas

Do rice crispys mixed with chocolate count as professional baking? Hope so

What they got is thousands of self-entitled people that will take days in admin to purge from their systems & then some right idiots that will jam up customer service.

another xmas present sorted then... hope it arrived in time

Bought a velvetiser and subscription today. This will go well and may provide a long term purveyor. Heat added

Link opened but only see the 1st letter for name address etc

The white, milk and dark are all excellent. Bought 10 kilo bag of white and one of milk. Great for hot chocolate.

this must be the worst website i've ever used and i've used some bad websites. jesus christ
