Cocoa Runners subscribers receive a sweet box of surprise every month. You don’t know what’s going to be in it, but you do know it’s going to be delicious.
Not a bad consolation, knowing that there are four carefully chosen bars of chocolate coming your way every month. Their taste is the surprise you are willing to surrender to if you become a member of the Cocoa Runners club of lovers of this sweet indulgence.

If you join their sweet life per month, you must first decide on the flavour that you prefer: milk, mostly milk, dark, mostly dark, or perhaps even 100% cocoa chocolate. White is not available.
Before completing the subscription process, there is one more decision to be made: would you rather treat yourself, or your best friend? And even if you want it for yourself, they will add a test bar into the box for those dearest to you. If you actually decide to give them the chocolate is ultimately up to you.
Cocoa Runners continually discovers and tests new chocolate flavours which delight their customers.
The monthly subscription for Cocoa Runners is 19.95 pounds plus 2.50 pounds for postage and packaging.
Cocoa Runners promise that the package you will receive will be big, but not too big to fit inside your mailbox. It has actually been known to simply disappear if left outside. For that reason their new boxes are now also much less visually noticeable.

Anyway, most important is the content, which is always colourful and different. They have never made the mistake of including the same chocolate twice, even though you might want that to happen.
As already determined by movie character Forrest Gump, life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get. You might not know which flavours you will be able to indulge in as a member of this chocolate club, but it is clear that they are going to make your life sweeter.
Box designers make sure that you learn something about their sweets and you can contribute your reviews to their chocolate library.
It is also clear that no bar of chocolate will find its way into the package by pure chance. Cocoa Runners actually sample over a thousand bars a year, which are made by hundreds of chocolate-makers around the world, and only choose the rarest and best ones.
The thrilling and exceptionally creative ones find their way into the monthly box, and wait for you to relive their experience.

To make the experience even more authentic, each chocolate bar comes with a description of its characteristics, where the cocoa which has been used for the chocolate grew, and whose artisan hands finally made the chocolate bar.
As members of the Cocoa Runners club, you will also receive news from their library of chocolate, where you can also review those special flavours. Occasionally, they will even invite you to a tasting event. And feel free to bring a friend or a neighbour along.
