2nd of January 2023Delightful product. Very realistic. Given to two spaniel owners, who could not bring themselves to eat them, as they are so well crafted and that it would be like biting off their pets heads!

30th of November 2017Discovered this site by chance. A great opportunity to treat friends and family members who are difficult to buy for. The range is fantastic and you really can find something of interest to suit everybody. The items are realistic and it is only the gift box packaging itself which gives the game away. These presents mean I am unable to comment on the taste which isn't really helpful as a review and I don't suppose I'm sending out the right message to toddlers watching their parents indulge themselves eating what look like everyday items, but hay ho, it is Christmas and I'm not the responsible parent. To summarize, great range, very realistic, original designs and speedy, well packaged delivery service. Thank you Amazing Chocolate Workshop.

26th of November 2021I love these products, I've bought them for Christmas and birthday presents for quite a few years now. I first came across them on a Christmas stall in Cardiff shopping centre. They look amazing and the chocolate is high quality. It's quite rich and has a really pleasing snap. They always arrive looking as good as they do in the website pictures. Definitely recommend them as a more original gift.

28th of December 2017My order for nutcrackers and nuts arrived on time and the packaging was superb so the gift box was in pristine condition. The chocolate items are so realistic that the gift recipient could not believe it was all chocolate!!... and 64% as well! Ordering was very easy and the detailed information on the website is fantastic - thank you. I will definitely be ordering again.

23rd of January 2019This was a gift for my brother who builds beautiful guitars. He was thrilled with it and has shown all his guitar friends. The dark chocolate goes well with a glass of port.

8th of January 2022I ordered two personalised gift packed sets from the Amazing Chocolate workshop just before Christmas. Both were beautifully crafted, superb quality products that made for excellent and very well-received Christmas gifts. One of my original items had been out of stock, but staff from Chocolate workshop called to let me know and helped me to order a replacement of higher value which they did not charge me for. Everything arrived in good time for Christmas. Excellent products. beautiful personalisation, and superb customer service. Thanks to everyone at the Amazing Chocolate workshop!

Ingredients
OK so it looks great, but does it taste good?
You’d be forgiven for wondering if our chocolate tastes nice. It looks weird, like tools and things. And you may never have thought of eating a horseshoe before. Could it be made of rubbish chocolate like that cheap, grainy ‘advent calendar’ stuff?
The short answer is that all of our items are made from fine-grade chocolate made from some of the world’s best cocoa beans. But we know you’ll be wanting a little more detail, so….
Here’s a brief guide to the quality of the chocolate and the special cocoa beans that make it so delightful… so you can tuck into that horseshoe knowing it’s not going to taste like one.
QUALITY & INGREDIENTS:
We’re really obsessive about the quality of our chocolate and never compromise on taste.
It’s very time-consuming to make and the finished product is so visually fantastic it would be a tragedy to ruin it all with a cheap chocolate, so we insist on truly top-notch ingredients to make our amazing creations.
What’s more, all of our chocolate is suitable for vegans. We don’t use any animal products in our amazing recipe. Even our creamy, dreamy smooth white choc!
The Famous Trinitario & Forestero Cocoa Beans.
This is what really sets us apart. Our chocolate is made with rather special cocoa bean varieties called the ‘Trinitario’ and ‘Forastero’. The Trinitario is an extremely sought after variety used in less than 10% of worldwide chocolate production due to the expertise needed to grow them.
They are world-renowned for their fine flavour and only used by premium producers. Google ‘Trinitario Cocoa Beans’ and you’ll see it really is the real deal.
Fine-grade ingredients = fine flavour.
Our cocoa beans are carefully sourced and chosen for their luxurious, indulgent flavour, making our chocolate pieces truly special both to look at and to taste.
Our plain chocolate is naturally velvety, smooth and creamy and contains less sugar than a lot of every day chocolate you might find in the supermarket.
High cocoa content. No compromise.
We insist on at least 60% cocoa in our creamy plain chocolate, giving it the perfect balance of sweetness and rich indulgence; it’s mellow and moreish without any lingering bitterness.
Our white choc contains a minimum of 30% cocoa. The result is all in the flavour, fine chocolate that’s sweet without
being sickly.
Minimum environmental
impact & postman-proof
packaging.
Your gifts come perfectly packed with award-winning recyclable gift boxes with a recyclable food-grade paper filling and biodegradable film window.
All securely wrapped in biodegradable padding and a fully recyclable outer box sealed with paper tape.
Plant-based.
Minimalized food waste.
We’re really obsessive about the quality of our chocolate.
Our chocolate has a naturally long shelf life of 6 months to reduce food waste. All of our products are vegan and use zero animal products, making them better for the planet, the animals, and the people, with no compromise on taste.

My chocolate has broken, can I fix it?
