Show Notes
Sheila Dillon is joined by baker and chocolatier Selasi Gbormittah and chocoholic comedian Sue Perkins to celebrate the present and future of the British chocolate bar.
They look to a new generation of UK bred 'Willy Wonkas', chocolate makers large and small, from South East London to West Wales.
And Sheila tracks down one major chocolate player disrupting the international market with its bold designs, flavours and business model focussed on ending child slavery in cocoa production.
The last of a two part chocolate special of The Food Programme.
Produced by Clare Salisbury for BBC Audio Bristol.
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in December 2020.
