House Of Brussels Strikes Major Co-Packing and Distribution Deal with Gourmet Chocolate Manufacturer Schokinag N.A.

HOUSTON -- December 15th Conference Call Reminder

House of Brussels Chocolates ("Brussels" or "HBSL") (OTCBB:HBSL), through its CEO Grant Petersen, is pleased to announce the signing of a multi-year co-packing and distribution agreement with one of the world's largest gourmet chocolate producers. The 3-year agreement with Schokinag Chocolate North America Inc. ("Schokinag" or "Schokinag N.A.") will see HBSL packing, marketing, selling and distributing Schokinag's entire line of baking chocolate and their newly released 7-flavor European Drinking Chocolate line.

Within the scope of the agreement, HBSL intends to take the lead role in the exclusive manufacturing and sale of the Schokinag Products to national/regional wholesalers, retail chains and private label customers throughout North America while Schokinag will continue to focus on food service and specialty distributors. Regardless of customer origin, HBSL will handle all co-packing and distribution. Regarding the European Drinking Chocolate line, Brussels will have free reign on sales and distribution throughout North America, but will work closely with Schokinag to develop sales opportunities as they arise. HBSL will also service existing clients such as Whole Foods and Rice Epicurean.

HBSL is very excited about the co-packing opportunity it has been given and believes strongly that the potential for a multi-million dollar revenue stream exists. Both Schokinag and Brussels feel that future sales growth for these ultra-gourmet baking products is bright and Brussels looks forward to expanding its own accounts in the food service industry.

Even more exciting is Schokinag's new European Drinking Chocolate line that was created in the style of traditional European chocolate drinks of the 17th century. Made with tiny bits of real chocolate and prepared with milk rather than water, consumers everywhere will be wondering why they ever drank instant hot chocolate. No cocoa powder can match the elegance, refinement and velvety richness of wonderful flavors such as German Chocolate Cake, Chocolate Mocha and Dulce de Leche, all of which can be enjoyed hot or cold. Rich, but not too sweet, this is how hot chocolate was meant to be and is reminiscent of ancient Mexican and South American delicacies.

Brian Warkentin, President of Schokinag N.A., summarized, "We have been building a strong partnership with Brussels over the last few years and they have a new state-of-the-art factory, an able sales team and the desire to take our partnership to another level." "We are exceptionally excited about our new European Drinking Chocolate and believe that Brussels is amply capable of getting the product into the mainstream in a big way," added Warkentin.

Grant Petersen, CEO of Brussels, said, "Schokinag's new drinking chocolate line was recently featured on the Today Show and was a tremendous success. The level of interest shown after that airing really put into perspective the massive size of this opportunity given its all year round appeal." "Brussels is exceptionally proud to have been chosen to represent Schokinag's products," concluded Petersen.
