Mother's Day
One of the most prominent influences on my life and the spirit that’s infused into of our chocolates is my mother, Katie. Through legacy it was my mother and her mother, my grandma, Terri, that I developed a close, intimate relationship to food, desserts and more generally the mysteries of life.
Mother’s Day is a reminder of their influence on every aspect of my life.
However, there is also a part that feels like calling attention to and celebrating ‘Mother’s Day’ falls short.
We are talking about a DAY....ONE out of 365 for all that our mothers, grandmothers, aunties etc do for and with us.
We are fortunate to see it first-hand every weekend at our market stalls. The beautiful connections and bonding between mothers and their children, aunties and their nieces and nephews, grandmothers and their grandchildren. Or maybe a friend or god-mother looking after the little ones for a few hours. And often our chocolates are part of the bonding. Just a little treat.
A chocolate lolly, fish, heart or brownie.
So, lets celebrate ‘Mother’s Day’ – this Sunday. But, let’s see if we can maintain that energy throughout the days, weeks and months to come.
And if you are looking for an extra-special way to celebrate or a gift to present then please consider our handcrafted chocolates and desserts. We will have a full range on offer tomorrow (Saturday), Mother’s day eve, at Stoke-Newington’s Growing Communities farmer’s market and Brockley market and on Sunday at Victoria Park Market.
Hope to see you there.

BOLD LOVE
Our love is deep and complex, often breathtakingly unexpected...
From the subtlety of our balanced lavender and mint salted caramels, tantalising romance of our rose scented salted caramels; playful, cheeky fun of our Raspberry and Champagne ganache truffles to our exceptionally BOLD Solid Burnt Caramel and lemon hearts (first photo) we've got ALL the bases covered baby...and I do mean ALL!
No matter the mood or moment we've got you covered this Valentines!
So, hope to see you tomorrow (Saturday) @growingcommunities

Yesterday was Thanksgiving, a holiday I left behind when I moved to London years ago.
Though I no longer celebrate in the traditional ways, I still love to pause and give thanks for all the good surrounding me and Niko B.
I'm grateful for my loved ones, treasured friends, my colleagues at the weekend markets and our regular customers who always stop by to say 'hello'.
I'm thankful for the joy of doing what I love to do every day: making chocolate that brings a few moments of happiness with every bite.
This year, I'm particularly grateful for being able to offer tasting workshops for corporate clients that teach folks about the history and benefits of cacao, while sharing chocolate combinations most have never before experienced.
Grateful for friends inside and outside the industry who have been longtime supporters @ruthwatsonafter@tessametcalfe@getloosefoods@brockleymarket@growingcommunities #stokeNewington @victoriaparkmkt

There's nothing like relaxing on a late autumn evening with a rich and decadent treat, like Niko B.'s Taboo Cognac Figs.
Taking figs that are picked at their peak and dried, we drench them in premium French cognac, add a creamy cognac ganache, then dip them in dark chocolate, with the fruit still peaking though.
A favourite amongst our loyal customers, this is a sumptuous indulgence that is as beautiful to look at as it is to taste. Now is always a good time to treat yourself!
Order our Taboo Cognac figs (or anything else) with a pre-holiday discount of 10%, good through November 30th. Use discount code XMAS2025 at checkout.

+Mexican Chocolate Ice Cream - with Cinnamon, orange and a hint of cayenne. A blend of dark and milk chocolate with sweet cinnamon, refreshing orange and just a touch of warmth from the cayenne.
These will join our other popular flavours:

Customer comment last week ‘ I’ve been telling everyone in the market it’s the best fun you can have with your trousers on. It’s absolutely divine’ 💕

Hibiscus
Native to West Africa, hibiscus is a symbol of beauty, love and passion across the world. But also resilience and hope throughout the Caribbean.
Its distinct floral and citrus notes are the basis for the Senegalese drink, bissap (taking me back to one of my absolutely favourite San Francisco restaurants, Bissap Baobab.@bissapbaobab ).
Hibiscus tea also pairs well with roasted Cherries to make our very special "Roasted Cherry and Hibiscus" sorbet.(vg) Together you get the sweetness of ripe juicy roasted Cherries with the subtle floral-citrus back notes of Hibiscus.
This along with our other ice creams (Vanilla Bean, Fresh Mint Chocolate chip, Dark Chocolate sorbet (vg) and Vanilla bean gelato and berries ice lollies) will be on offer tomorrow (Sat) @growingcommunities #stokeNewington
And @brockleymarket

Roasted Cherry & Hibiscus Sorbet
Our very special, limited edition Roasted Cherry and Hibiscus sorbet will be on offer tomorrow (Saturday) @growingcommunities #stokeNewington market and @brockleymarket #Lewisham .
Roasting the Cherries concentrates their sunny summer flavour whilst the addition of Hibiscus tea adds complex floral notes.
This limited edition will be offered alongside our other exceptional ice creams and sorbets - dreamy Vanilla Bean, fresher than fresh Mint Chocolate chip and ultra Dark Chocolate sorbet.
We hope to see you there..
