Grown on Bobbie Garbutt’s family’s regeneratively run farm in Grenada, Bobbie makes the chocolate herself in her Cotswolds studio in small batches. It’s “tree to bar” chocolate, made with just two ingredients – cacao and organic cane sugar, with no chemicals or anything else added.
Though of course, the 72 per cent sea salt chocolate does include a touch of Maldon sea salt that’s added at the end and gives it that extra zing, which is our favourite chocolate of the range. Using the brand’s own special recipe, the chocolate has notes of fudge, vanilla and caramel and gives a real sense of place, much like wine and oysters, replicating the terroir of the area. It’s excellent, high quality and decadent without feeling over the top. Chocoholics will love that they don’t need many buttons to get their fix, meaning it even lasts longer. A real bonus.

With three foil-wrapped fish inside, underneath is milk chocolate that’s smooth and creamy with a hint of vanilla. They’re affordable and a fun stocking filler for kids, both big and small. There’s chocolatey, and then there’s mega chocolatey which is exactly what these chunky biscuits are. They’re drenched in a thick coating of milk chocolate, covering a buttery chocolate domed-shaped biscuit that’s also made with chocolate chips.
