🌟🌟GREAT TASTE AWARDS 2022 🌟🌟
Super chuffed to have been awarded 2🌟🌟 for my Dark Chocolate Orange Truffles which I entered into this year’s Great Taste Awards🤗
It is always wonderful to get the thumbs up 👍for something that you have put a huge amount of work and trial and error into! 😃 .. especially when it is totally free from dairy, refined sugars, gluten, soy and anything artificial.. and also very vegan friendly💚. These truffles are also nutfree🌰.. It can be challenging sometimes competing with products that contain more mainstream ingredients but I feel very passionate about being able to enjoy treats that are both delicious and nutritious 😍
Super happy with these comments from the judges 🤗
“Charming looking chocolates, the sprinkles of the orange peel and chocolate make these most attractive. The crisp shell gives way to a creamy textured ganache that combines bitter chocolate and orange to great effect. Rich and smooth, these are jolly well made.”
Thank you @greattasteawards 🙏.. I’m over the 🌙

😍THANK YOU😍
Just finished holding another workshop and I would like to thank everyone who came along….🤗
Very happy I asked them all to be guinea pigs for my newest attempt at a mylk chocolate button that I’ve been experimenting with😀
This jar was full… but the contents went home with a very happy customer!!😆.. so I think that’s a thumbs up👍
I love running these workshops as it’s always so much fun meeting new people and sharing each other’s knowledge.. quite often we will have a little nugget of information that we might not realise is super helpful to someone else😁
Happy weekend everyone 😀

😁FUN TIMES😁
We had so much fun this morning in my chocolate kitchen😀
What a great bunch of ladies.. so many interesting pieces of advice and knowledge exchanged … you never know quite how much we collectively know .. which is what makes each workshop unique😃
If you would like to come along and enjoy a relaxed few hours learning techniques to make your own dairy free raw desserts using only natural and organic ingredients and take away a comprehensive booklet of recipes, tips and information on all ingredients used .. my next workshop is running on OCTOBER 15th 2-4.30pm. .. the link to book your space is in my bio💚
I will be popping in other dates but as I will be coming into a very busy period leading up to Christmas to fulfil online and shop orders.. the sooner you contact me .. the more notice I will have to plan dates that suit you!
Don’t forget you can get your own group together - 👩👩👦👦
I look forward to welcoming you to my Somerset chocolate kitchen 🍫 👩🍳

🍫WORKSHOPS🍫
It was so much fun running this hands on chocolate workshop for a fantastic bride to be and her hens👰♀️🐓
Wendy @ashhousesomerset has gone to a tremendous amount of care to create a truly wonderful and beautiful space and it was a joy to carry out this workshop in such a tranquil and beautiful environment 😃
I am really enjoying bringing my chocolate workshops to people’s own venues .. 🚗 so if you have a special event or would just love to get a group of friends/ family together .. just let me know! 💚

💚NEW PRODUCT!💚
I have been inspired by a wonderful programme I have been a part of for the past few weeks called ‘The Mineral Woman’ 💕… under the wonderful and hugely knowledgable guidance of both @aisteisis and @joel_gazdar 🙏
I have learnt so much from them and there is still so much more to learn.. but I wanted to share some of that knowledge by creating a super bumpa nutritious energy bar for you all to enjoy! 😍
These bars pack a mighty punch due to the extra ingredients I have added.. they are not too sweet .. as I have used my 90% unroasted dairy free chocolate mixed with a combination of puffed quinoa, super nutritious black sesame seed paste, goji berries and activated pumpkin and sunflower seeds .. activation makes nuts and seeds much easier on your digestion and increases the absorption of all the amazing properties they contain.. 💚
In addition I have added the wonderful adaptogen and energy giver maca, antioxidant rich burdock root powder, super nutritious home grown dried nettle, blood sugar stabilising cinnamon, nutrient rich cardamom, a pop of warming chilli and healthy fats from virgin raw coconut oil🥥
I taste tested them with the lovely ladies @highstreetorganics and received a resounding thumbs up 👍.. so, once I’ve got my head around how to pop them on my website .. you’ll be able to try them for yourselves .. I really hope you enjoy them😍
I’ll also be making up a batch for delivery next week to @highstreetorganics 😋

So happy to be stocking the wonderful @colesyardwincanton with my #dairyfree #refinedsugarfree #glutenfree raw fridge bars
You’ll find them in the freezer 🥶 .. enjoy them really cold or let them warm up a bit .. either way .. they are a delicious and nutritious treat 😋
All of the nuts 🌰 🥜 used have been activated by me to make them kinder on your digestion and also easier to absorb the wonderful nutrients in them
I hope you enjoy them … which will be your favourite?! 🤔😍

When they’re gone .. they’re gone! 😋
I am extremely grateful for all your wonderful orders … but if you’re still hoping to order an Easter Egg from me 🐣.. I wouldn’t leave it too long .. I make all my chocolate from scratch and I’ve just had to make one more batch of the 78% dark chocolate as that seems to be the favourite this year!!! .. closely followed by the ‘Mylk’ egg🧡
I’ll do my best to keep making until I have no more chocolate left!!!
Wishing you all a very chocolatey Easter! 🍫🍫

💐Mother’s Day…
You were just waiting for the right thing to come along, weren’t you?
You didn’t forget. You just hadn’t found the perfect present yet.
Something she’d really enjoy. Something meaningful.
A moment carved out just for her.
Perhaps something you could do together?
Or something she might enjoy with a friend; learning something new in Good Company.
This Mother’s Day, you can gift her a place on one of our upcoming workshops:
🌸 Floral Workshop with Master Florist Tracey Nadin 🍫 Chocolate Making Workshop
A couple of hours devoted to creativity, good company, and making something beautiful (or delicious).
Purchase a workshop voucher via the link in our bio, or DM us and we can send you a payment link - with a little discount code (just quote Mum’s the word) 😉
PS. We appreciate for some, that Mother’s Day can bring a mix of feelings. But we hope that in whatever form it takes, you are able to use the day as an excuse to appreciate those that nurture and lift you up. Many of us have family members in far flung places or are concerned for the wellbeing of loved ones in a world that feels a little topsy turvy right now. Not all of us are lucky enough to be near those we cherish the most. So whatever this Sunday holds for you, with loved ones near or far, we hope the sun shines just a little warmer on your face today. The two mamas that run this little corner of insta wish all of you, All the Good Things for this weekend x
