I wanted to try this chocolate for so long , but don’t believe the hype ! The Bars are small thin and lack flavour. The price is really expensive and post and packing. They do not deliver what you are expecting. Very disappointed !

I had been waiting so long to try this chocolate and when I finally did it was so worth the wait. The salted caramel and brownie so far is my favorite but im in love with the new cookie collab already....can't wait to try it 😋

I wanted to like these bars so much - I enjoy their Instagram stories and the products look amazing. However in receiving my two bars - salted caramel brownie and peanut clutter I was really disappointed. The chocolate was thin and very very sweet and lacked that wow factor that I was expecting. If I’m spending £13.95 including Postage in two bars I just expected more. Also took me months to actually get my hands on some which was disappointing. Such a shame

Banana loaf bar is delicious. Received my order quicker than I was expecting. There was an error with my order but I got a response very quickly and was assured it would be corrected.

Was able to get my hands on a couple of bits after a few months of trying on restocks and the products are still as delicious as ever. I tried some new flavours and Bahama is definitely a vibe! Can’t wait to order again 😋

These guys work day and night to produce some amazing stuff. Yes it can be hard to come by but to me that just shows how much people love their products! Personally I don't think they're expensive at all, you get a handmade, hand wrapped and unique product from a local business for less than what you'd pay for someone to measure out some gin and top it with tonic and ice in most city centres... Christ some bars even charge more for a pint!

Upon reading a lot of reviews I find a lot of them to be slightly unfair with their criticism, although everybody is entitled to their option. So I thought I would give an almighty, brutally honestly review, especially as I’ve tried the majority of the flavours and will review each flavour! I have also gave them 4/5 stars although I was tempted to rate 5/5, simply because I strongly believe very few company’s are “perfect” which I think a 5/5 is. There’s always room to grow and improve in any business Firstly I think ALL of the bars I have tried are fairly filled for the price. £5 is expensive for what you receive but think about it, that £5 per bar needs to cover the ingredients, packaging, staffs pay, premises rent etc. With that in mind I don’t think it’s unreasonable. Secondly all of my bars have arrived in good time, well wrapped with no breakages and beautifully presented. However my only criticism is sometimes the foil is folded a bit messy on the ends and the glue that’s used to stick the paper wrap on is SO strong and can be a pain to unstick and sometimes it’s glued to the foil. But overall a thumbs up! Now down to a review of all the flavours: The Bahama : Not my cup of tea as I don’t actually like banana and rum! I got this for my partner. But it was well filled, he enjoyed it! I did try some and you do get a nice subtle hint of rum! If these flavours are your thing, go for it! The Banging Bizarre: tasted lovely! Couldn’t fault it! Banoffee Bread : Yet again, not my thing. It was more for my partner. It did taste of banana! He enjoyed it. But I think it could of done with an extra splodge of toffee! Caramel Apple Pie: One of my favourites, much to my surprise! Nicely filled and you get a lovely taste or caramel apple and a nice aftertaste of cinnamon! I can’t get enough of this one Carrot Cake and Pretzel: An underdog! Again pleasantly surprised at how much I rated this over others. You get a lovely taste of spiced carrot cake and the salty pretzel really tops it off! Could perhaps use an extra couple of pieces of broken up pretzel IMO. Maple Bacon : I got this purely for the curiosity. It wasn’t my cup of tea, I don’t think bacon and chocolate go. However it wasn’t unpleasant at all and I still ate it! It was just unusual! But I am actually sure some people out there would love this. I put this down to a personal preference. Mint Choc Chip : My first ever bar as I love mint chocolate! It’s like no other mint chocolate, as it tastes more like mint choc chip ice cream! It’s so smooth. However it wasn’t overly minty and I personally prefer more mint. But it was a lovely bar regardless of this. Peanut clutter: It was lovely, but over rated in my opinion. I fail to see how this is one of the most popular when I find their other bars much better! But I guess that comes down to personal taste. It was a tasty bar and I had no issues with it. It just didn’t pack the punch like others did. And didn’t taste much of peanut. Salted Caramel Brownie: Super indulgent! I loved this bar. I wish it had more brownie pieces on as I couldn’t get enough! But is that me being greedy!? Lastly I have also tried 2x of their collab bars so far. They were some of the best chocolatey creations to ever pass my lips. I highly recommend the collab bars and they’re totally worth their price! These guys absolutely smash the collabs! There are no other bars out on the market like this. So if their normal bars don’t exactly do it for you, invest your money into the collabs! You won’t regret it. I have also ordered their two summer limited edition flavours which I will review once I’ve tried! I hope this review has helped any potential buyers. They’re a smashing business, who are deeply passionate about what they do. Their personalities are addictive and the majority of their produce is second to none. It does however boil down to personal taste! And please please please don’t kick off about pricing. Be reasonable and think about all of the outgoings a company has to deal with! Enjoy all of your future purchases potential customers! And I’m expecting bigger and greater things to come from this company. I think I’m a certified customer for life now.

I’ve been following these guys for a while on Instagram because I love a small business who’s doing well ! And… I also love chocolate. It’s taken me ages and ages to be able to purchase anything as they sell out so quickly. However, a couple of weeks ago I managed to get a salted peanut, caramel and shortcake bar and the apple pie bar. They aren’t cheap but after all the hype I was excited to receive them. Sadly - I’m really disappointed with the chocolate and the taste. On the photos it looks like thick bars crammed full of stuff. The reality is thin bars of chocolate with just a tiny bit of what is supposedly inside them. The salted peanut, caramel and shortbread just tasted like very sweet, average chocolate. I couldn’t get a taste of salted peanuts at all. The apple pie bar, whilst tasting like that, is also just average. I really love to support local companies but I won’t be buying from them again.

Great service and fast postage. All the chocolate is so delicious. First tried the Bahama bar a few weeks back, which was amazing! Ordered two bars and gave one to my brother which he also enjoyed. Next order had the peanut clutter and apple pie, also delicious! Then last week ordered a collab bar with the macarons, amazing! So delicious will definitely be ordering again & again. Can’t wait to try the summer editions and the next collab bar! Thank yoy
