Have you heard about Velata?

Scentsy, renamed the Scentsy GROUP, is introducing a whole new line of products called Velata.  


Technically Velata doesn't launch until May 1st however the catalog has been made available to consultants and I've had the opportunity to sample the chocolates and  I must tell you that Velata chocolate is not the same chocolate that you can get from the stores, trust me when I tell you this!  


I'm a chocolate connaisseur having been born and raised in Frankfurt, making many trips to Belgium to get chocolates I can tell you that the claim Scentsy is making that they went to Belgium, found the best chocolatiers to have them make these chocolates is true because I have never tasted better chocolate in my life!


So, here is the quick low down from my consultant's Scentsy blog about Velata;


"We set out in search of the world’s most blow-your-mind chocolate. Our journey took us to (where else) Belgium—the world capital of fine chocolate. We found the perfect chocolate with the purest ingredients and the velvetiest (sometimes you have to invent a word) consistency. The kind of chocolate fondue you want to dip into, heart and soul.
Perfect chocolate needs a perfect melt! So we invented a patent-pending silicone dish heated by a light bulb in a hip, fun, smart fondue warmer. Who else but Scentsy could find a hip, fun, smart way to use a light bulb?

Whether you are a foodie, a trendsetter, or just someone who thinks of chocolate as its own food group, Velata fondue products are for you.

Take a dip in indulgent Velata chocolate. Once you’re hooked, make sure to take a look at the Velata opportunity. You never know, you may make a life out of your love of chocolate.

Crafted from premium cocoa beans by one of the most prestigious chocolate companies in the world, Velata chocolate is designed to melt beautifully and stay at the perfect temperature for dipping. Velata Premium Belgian Chocolate contains no fillers or oils, resulting in the purest—and most purely indulgent—chocolate fondue experience.

Dish: Patent-pending silicone dish is microwave and dishwasher safe. It distributes heat evenly, keeping Velata chocolate at the perfect temperature without stirring. And clean-up is a breeze—just toss the dish in the top rack of your dishwasher.



Warmer base: The heat of a 25-watt light bulb gently warms Velata chocolate. No scorching, no flame, no complicated instructions. Choose from 3 sleek designs and 8 colors, from classic black to trendy orange.

Dimmer switch: Adjust the temperature of Velata chocolate (based on the type of chocolate selected) with the adjustable dimmer switch.

Velata Fondue Forks: Each Velata Fondue Warmer comes with a matching set of four fondue forks. Additional forks available separately, see page 11 of the catalog.



Velata Premium Chocolate: Melt exquisite Velata chocolate in the microwave and pour it into the patent-pending Velata Fondue Warmer dish. Fondue has never been simpler … or more delicious."

So, is your mouth watering yet? Well if it's not it will be soon!  I am offering one of my blog readers the golden opportunity to win one of the new Velata warmers and one pouch of chocolate of his or her choosing.  


This giveaway has ended - and the WINNER IS (*drum roll please*) MARK WEST!  Congratulations on winning your very own Velata Warmer and Chocolate!
