Have you got what it takes to be an official chocolate taster? Black Magic needs eight new chocolate tasters from across the country. They are looking for someone who likes dark chocolate but who doesn’t necessarily have to be a huge dark chocolate fan. The chosen eight will be the first people to try out Black Magic's new chocolate products and their opinions will help develop further flavours and taste sensations. To apply to be an Official Black Magic Chocolate Taster explain in no more than 50 words why you think you should be given the role. Closing date 23rd November 2007.

Winners will meet their seven other tasting colleagues for the first time at an exclusive lunch at top London restaurant Dans le Noir? (literally 'in the black', the restaurant has no lighting and food is served by partially-sighted or blind waiters), and stay the night in a top London hotel with their chosen guest.

Entries should be sent either via email to: [email protected]
