Melt Mug Shot

We are delighted to announce that we are launching our ‘Melt Mug Shot’ competition for 2021, which gives you a chance to win a fantastic Hot Chocolate Melt Hamper.

From November, a prize draw will take place every week where a winner will be selected at random.  All you have to do to enter is to share a photo of yourself enjoying a Marimba Hot Chocolate Melt, via Facebook or Instagram.

You can either post a photo directly to our @MeltMugShot page on Facebook, or tag @MeltMugShot – and include the #MeltMugShot hashtag – on Instagram to be automatically entered.

If you happen to be enjoying a Marimba Hot Chocolate Melt at a local café, please feel free to tag them in your post too.

The competition will run from November until the end of February 2022, with a weekly prize draw taking place. You can enter as often as you wish, up to one entry per person per day.
