When it comes to making money to buy a house Thorin Williams is one chocolate-flavoured little entrepreneur.
After a discussion last year with his gran, Marian Williams, the 11-year-old Masterton Intermediate School student launched "Thorin's Treats", making up small packets of different flavoured chocolates which he sells door-to-door.
It appears to be quite a profitable little business too, with Thorin already building up his bank balance towards his first home; with slightly more than $5000 already in the bank account.
He started with $1200 from busking and selling a few chocolates to neighbours and now makes 22 different flavours of chocolates, including new flavours like mango and pineapple, lemon clusters, orange and almond and strawberry melon to name a few.
Thorin spends every Monday to Wednesday after school making up the chocolate treats and the rest of the week selling about 100 or so packets, at $2.50 each.
