Oi, FATSO. Yeah, you heard that right...

No, I'm not insulting you - I'm talking about the unapologetically FAT and delicious chocolate brand FATSO as this week I sit down with the lovely Poppy Dionian Smith - National Account Manager and Maja Turner - Brand & Content Manager.

I LOVED this conversation. From the playful name and branding - which when unwrapped has so much more to share, from their ethical sourcing from a single farm in Cambodia, to supporting the chocolate dream charity initiative and so much more.

Honestly, the chocolate is unbelievably good, and I loved hearing why Poppy and Maja joined the team and why they love what they do!
