We are now offering a Bespoke range of our handmade Cornish chocolates, which enables you to choose your favourite centres. We all have different tastes so rather than having to share a box with the centres you don't normally like, you get to eat them all! Chocolates aren't always for sharing, sometimes they are made especially just for you.
The Chocolate at Home Lollipop kit is a great way to spend time with the children on a rainy weekend (we have quite a few of them). The kits have easy to follow instructions and everything required to make 8 chocolate lollipops, complete with small bags and ties ti give them a professional finish. once the chocolate has been melted, you can add anything to the back of them to make them more delicious. fruit, nuts or mini marshmallows.
The Milk and Salted Caramel Truffle kits are also easy to make. All of the instructions are included. You need to add 40ml of cream (not provided), to make the ganache, why not substitute a splash of your favourite tipple (Baileys) for the cream. As long as you gently warm the alcohol to body temperature it will mix with the melted chocolate beautifully to make a smooth shiny ganache. The kits should make around 10 truffles or one huge one, if your not a sharer!

This method of manufacturing gives them a beautiful shine and a well tempered snap. All of our centres are made with fresh ingredients and no additional flavourings. We use Belgian, Tanzanian & Ghanaian callets for their smooth flavoursome qualities. These subtle flavours ensure the rich chocolate shells are enhanced and not over-powered.
The Callebaut callets we use have been created from bean to chocolate in one of Belgium's oldest cocoa roasteries. Founded in 1911 it has become one of the worlds leading cocoa enterprises. DeZaan also boasts 100 years of experience. They support local farmers and use sustainable cocoa cultivation.
The chocolate we use and our tempering process ensures are chocolates are unique. They are made with locally sourced products where we can. We want your experience to be a pleasurable and lasting one. All our taste sensations have been through rigorous UKAS 1830 Food testing to ensure they are safe and we can give an accurate shelf life.

These chocolates are as good as any chocolate from the best the world has to offer. Highly recommend. We have traveled to Switzerland Italy France etc and your chocolates are beyond good, and we can’t pass a continental chocolatier without sampling.
Here’s hoping next year will be a great one for you, Merry Christmas x

This morning I collected a box of 24 chocolates for my mum for Christmas. On the way to collect my husband asked me if I'd like some for our anniversary at the weekend. We went for the box of 36 (apparently to share but I can't see that happening!)
Since coming home I decided to try a few and oh my goodness .
These are beautiful in taste and looks.
I cannot wait for my mum to receive hers at Christmas. Even my husband who isn't a big chocolate eater said how lovely they are!
Great value for money, beautifully packaged and lovely people. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you!

We've recently enjoyed a Loco about Cocoa workshop with Adrian...it was fantastic! He imparts his knowledge in a friendly, easy to follow way and it's fascinating to be involved in all the different stages of the chocolate making...and to fully appreciate how much effort goes into it too! Adrian is really knowledgeable and passionate about his chocolate and, as a result, you end up with an amazing box of luxury handmade chocolates which taste out of this world! Adrian was also able to cater for different allergies/intolerance's. All in all a fantastic experience that we'd highly recommend! Hoping to book another workshop soon!

I’ve purchased Loco About Cocoa chocolate boxes a few times for a few different people and different occasions - it’s been a hit every single time, even with my Dad who has been named as one of the “ungiftables”. The chocolates are beautifully hand crafted and presented, truly breath-taking. I would recommend Loco About Cocoa to everyone! The customer service is absolutely great and Adrian is a pleasure to deal with. Thank you x

26 February 2020 I have visited this family run business on many occasions and find them to be very knowledgeable about chocolate and the products they produce. Everything the chocolatier produces is of the highest quality. The chocolates come in a variety of sizes and flavours and are beautifully packaged. These chocolates provide an excellent centre piece for special occasions, but why wait for those to come along! They are delicious and should be eaten throughout the year. They are possibly the best chocolates I have ever tasted. You won't get any better. It's all about the cocoa!

Amazing chocolates. Look and taste good. It's like looking at a piece of art. I have given many as gifts and every time the recipient has remarked how beautiful they look and when I next see them or when they write a thank you, they remark on the taste and texture.
Really, I am writing this review as an individual but it actually contains the reflective views of many.
Apparently, they store well too, but mine have never had the chance to be tested as they are just too tempting and delicious to be saved!
Praise must go to Adrian for not only his chocolatier skills but his helpfulness. Our daughter already has him earmarked for making her favours for her wedding. She's not even engaged yet so she loves the chocolates so much that it's part of her fairy tale day!
