Our selection of gifts perfect for sending this Christmas - to those who already love craft chocolate, as well as those looking to explore how delicious bean to bar chocolate can be!
Chocolate should be pure, delicious and ethical. We source the best cacao beans from rare origins around the world and pay a premium price for them. Buying speciality cacao means paying far beyond the global market Fairtrade price. Paying for the worth of the cacao is so important in guaranteeing high-quality crops, creating a sustainable future for the farm, and building a mutually beneficial relationship with the farmers. It’s not magic - an incredible chocolate bar starts with an incredible farmer.
We aim to dispatch same day from our workshop in Glasgow, either to you or directly to the recipient. We also offer a free handwritten note with each order, simply add your note in the box at checkout!

FAQ:
What is the difference between a chocolate maker and a chocolatier?
A chocolatier buys pre-made chocolate and often pairs this with fillings, creams and other inclusions. As chocolate makers, we start with the raw cacao bean and carry out the full process from bean to bar.
What is bean to bar chocolate?
Bean to bar chocolate is the process used to handcraft chocolate from raw cacao beans through to a finished bar. It is a labour-intensive process that involves steps such as hand-sorting the beans, separating the outer shells (husks) from the inner cacao nib, stone-grinding, and tempering the chocolate. We are so proud to be one of the very few UK producers who craft from bean to bar. You can read more about our process here.
Is Bare Bones Chocolate vegan?
Most of our chocolates are vegan! And all of our drinking chocolate flakes are vegan, pairing beautifully with alternative milks. Our favourite is Minor Figures' Regenerative Oat Milk. You can explore our vegan-friendly chocolates here.
Is Bare Bones Chocolate sustainable?
We pay well above the Fairtrade market, and strive to honour the farmers, the cacao, and the maker. All of our packaging is sourced from inside the UK, and we only use packaging that is from recycled sources, which can be recycled or composted after enjoying!
