If you’re looking for some sweet treat ideas this Christmas, either to give as gifts or just to enjoy yourself, then Chococo could be just the ticket. The Dorset-based company has been producing fabulous quality chocolates since 2002 and has some exceptional new products on the shelves this Christmas, alongside old favourites too.
As well as caring about the quality of the products, Chococo takes great care to do as little harm to the environment as possible. It ensures that all packaging is plastic-free and can either be recycled or composted after use. Chococo believes in paying a fair trade price to the farmers who produce the cocoa it uses, and every product is slavery-free.
As well as dark and milk chocolate, Chococo has a range of excellent vegan chocolates, which are almost indistinguishable from its standard chocolate. The flavours are fabulous, and the textures are as creamy and moreish as any chocolate lover could possibly want. There are some great options for those with specific dietary needs, too, with lots of dairy, gluten, and nut-free treats.
No matter what you’re looking for, Chococo is likely to have something to fit the bill, from Advent boxes filled with 25 different chocolates – feel free not to share with the kids – to hampers of festive goodies. If you fancy something a little different after your Christmas dinner this year, look at the Christmas Wreath Cake. It’s packed with rich tea biscuits, dried fruit and cherries, not to mention plenty of chocolate. It’s topped off with oat-based milk alternative chocolate, pecans and cranberries, so it’s vegan-friendly too. You won’t need a big slice, as it’s rich and sweet, but that doesn’t mean you won’t want a big slice…
You can also add something sweeter to the Boxing Day table in the form of the delicious Festive Chocolate Salami. This fabulously decadent twist on the savoury Italian staple is filled with figs, apricots, dates and nuts, with orange peel and just a dash of brandy too. The 72% Ecuador dark chocolate offsets the sweetness of the fruit, balancing it nicely. A perfect treat to add to the cheese board.
Our top pick from the myriad products from Chococo is the caramelised white gold chocolate penguin
, available delivered in time for Christmas for orders placed by 20 December. This 18cm tall, handcrafted chocolate treat has a fabulously creamy, sweet flavour with a hint of caramel. Hand-decorated with white chocolate to create a textured feather effect across its tummy, it will make a stunning addition to a pudding platter or a great stocking filler for any sweet tooth, young or old.
