We Should Cocoa

We Should Cocoa, aka #WeShouldCocoa, is a monthly cooking event for food bloggers. It’s based on … you guessed it … chocolate! 

We Should Cocoa was started in September 2010 by me, Choclette and Chele formally of Chocolate Teapot. The idea is to make something with chocolate each month. Until September 2016 you had to use the special ingredient selected each month along with chocolate. Now though, you can make whatever you like as long as it contains some sort of chocolate or cocoa substance. Entries must be vegetarian, but can be sweet or savoury, simple or complicated. You can use anyone’s recipe (acknowledging the source of course) or make up your own.

How it works

1. Post your recipe on your blog with at least one accompanying photograph. Do please make sure you have permission to use any photos that are not your own.
2. Mention We Should Cocoa in your post and link back to Tin and Thyme.  You will find who is hosting each month’s challenge by looking on this page.
3. Only one entry per challenge please and it must be posted in the relevant month.
4. Entry is usually via linky which can be found at the bottom of the post.
5. Entries should be submitted no later than midnight of the 28^th of the month.
6. By linking up you are giving consent for your image to be included in the monthly round up as well as being shared on social media channels such as Twitter, Pinterest or Facebook.
7. Please use the #WeShouldCocoa hashtag on Twitter and I will endeavour to retweet.
8. A full round up of entries will be posted on the relevant host’s blog on the first day of the following month along with the new linky.
9. All entries will be pinned to the We Should Cocoa group board on Pinterest.
