House Of Brussels Launches First Complete ChocoMed Product Line

ChocoMed's UltraGourmet 24/7 Nutritional and Energy Bar Line Set to Debut at All Candy Expo
Company also scheduled to introduce Schokinag Drinking Chocolate product

House of Brussels Chocolates today announced the official launch of its new 24/7 line of nutritional and energy bars through its subsidiary ChocoMed Inc. at the National Confectioners Association's All Candy Expo being held June 14 - 16 in Chicago. The All Candy Expo is the largest confectionary-only tradeshow in North America, with nearly 500 exhibitors, including House of Brussels Chocolates, and more than 20,000 attendees.

ChocoMed's line of Nutritional and Energy Bars were developed by House of Brussels Chocolate's Chief Operating Officer Guy DeBas, and come in an array of unprecedented high-quality flavors targeted to the health and wellness set. Made with only the finest and purest ingredients, 24/7 bars have no parallels and are the first truly gourmet nutritional and energy bars to hit the market.

Bill Donovan, Chairman of House of Brussels Chocolates stated, "We are very excited about the launch of our 24/7 line of nutritional and energy bars which represent an important step in our ongoing efforts to bring new and exciting products to consumers. Equally important, ChocoMed is now a revenue generating entity and we believe many opportunities exist for our company in the lucrative Health and Nutritional products sector over both the near and long-term. We are currently working closely, under non-disclosure agreements, with a number of companies to develop additional health and nutritional products using chocolate as a delivery agent and we are committed to capitalizing on our prospects."

In addition, the company will debut its new Schokinag drinking chocolate line at the All Candy Expo(R). In December 2004, House of Brussels Chocolates signed a multi-year co-packing and distribution agreement with Schokinag Chocolate North America Inc. Under terms of the agreement, House of Brussels Chocolates is responsible for the packing, marketing, selling and distributing Schokinag's entire line of baking chocolate, including their 7-flavor European Drinking Chocolate line.
