Hot Chocolate Melting Beads, crafted by chocolatiers using the finest-grade ingredients. Our chocolate beads are made to melt seamlessly into the most delicious hot or iced chocolate.
We are the only UK manufacturer to craft shiny chocolate beads from a variety of chocolate intensities – from 35% to 75% cocoa. You can drink our chocolate your way: hot, iced, with whole dairy or plant-based milks (yes vegan it is!).
We take our chocolate seriously, blending in small batches bead by bead, to lock in that true taste of pure chocolate.

Our outer boxes are made from FSC certified traceable raw materials, to create recycled/recyclable packaging.

Unfortunately, we cannot give away our factory secrets, however we blend small batches of our chocolate into secret recipes you will find nowhere else.
Our products are nut and gluten free. Please note all our products (may) contain milk.
We don’t add any additional sugars to our chocolate, if you’d like less sugar we’d recommend going for Rich Dark or Super Dark blends with higher cocoa percentages.
We bet you’ll finish it quicker, but just in case: the shelf life for our milk chocolate is up to 12 months and our dark chocolate is up to 18 months from the date of manufacture. Our chocolate is safe to consume after the best before date, but taste and appearance may degrade over time.
