Missing Bean
The MB Chocolate Launch Party & Charity Hot-Choc-Art Throwdown 2026
PLEASE NOTE: Tickets are now SOLD OUT
On Thursday 22nd October, at 6:00pm, we'll be celebrating the official launch of our BRAND NEW Missing Bean Chocolate!
As well as this, we'll also be hosting a twist on our usual Charity Birthday Party Throwdown. This year, it'll be an Oat Milk Hot Chocolate Art Throwdown! The evening will, as always, be in aid to raise vital funds for another awesome cause - full details can be found here:
___
This year all profits will be heading to the El Nilo Dos Cooperative in El Salvador, where we'll be helping to improve their post-cacao-harvest systems and the quality control of their Cacao. It's a beautiful farm and we'll be working alongside them for this years special edition Christmas Chocolate.
___
Come along and watch, enjoy a locally brewed B-Man beer, grab a slice of MB Bakery sourdough pizza, and a scoop of Alfonso Gelato - made with MB Chocolate! The slice and scoop all included in your entry fee.
Or if you're feeling brave, test out your skills by entering the competition itself, for the chance to win a big cash prize as well as other Chocolate related treats!
___
There will also be free samples galore, so everyone can enjoy a bite of our brand new range of chocolate bars - we've got all the flavours covered whether you're a cacao purist or have a more experimental taste!
___
As well as the throwdown competition there will be a charity raffle crammed full with awesome prizes kindly donated by our friends and wholesale partners. For a chance to win some of these great prizes you can also pre-purchase your raffle tickets in advance - simply add on the quantity you'd like to your ticket. Don't worry, there will still be a chance to purchase more on the night if you can't avoid the temptation once you see the tower of treats!
