Customer service is excellent and the chocolate is divine. In face, once you have tried this chocolate it may be hard to revert to normal everyday brands! Give The Chocolate Smiths a try if you haven't already.

Olympus-worthy chocolate

The flavors are inventive and amazing. Lots of communication about orders and they always are polite and responsive to my million questions. The packaging alone is enough to make me swoon, but the Olympus-worthy chocolate is life-altering.

Wow — what an incredible review! 🥹🍫 “Olympus-worthy chocolate” might just be the greatest compliment we’ve ever received! We’re over the moon that you love the flavours and the packaging, and it’s so lovely to hear you’ve felt well looked after along the way — we never mind a million questions, promise! 💛

Amazing and well worth it!

I’ve been waiting to get my hands on The Chocolate Smiths chocolate bars and they did not disappoint. The best flavours and textures I’ve had and the packing is beautiful! I can’t recommend these enough and they definitely taste better after being kept in the fridge as you can really taste all the flavours. I will be ordering again and so will my family after they tasted mine!

I need more and more and more

I got my little mitts on a peanut whip bizarre bar and what can I say?? Yum didly yum! It was absolutely delish! I can’t get enough of the flavour combinations on offer and if there isn’t a bar in the house I have withdrawl symptoms! Of course I’ll be ordering many more products! Thank you

Ahh this made me smile from ear to ear — thank you! 🥰🍫 We’re so happy you loved the Peanut Whip Bizarre Bar (yum diddly yum is our new favourite phrase!). That flavour combo’s a proper crowd-pleaser, and I totally get the “withdrawal symptoms” — we feel it too when the snack drawer’s empty! 😅

Thank you so much for your lovely words and continued support — it really means the world to our little team. Can’t wait for you to try even more of our creations soon! 💛

The ultimate choclate bars!

These bars are absolutely some of the best chocolate bars in the entire world, at least from what I’ve tried so far, and that I can say is a lot, the reasons I believe they are so good is the care and passion that goes into making them. The anticipation from getting the notification my order has been dispatched until this incredible box in the photos arrives is indescribable, my recommendation is to become a subscriber, then you will never miss any of the collaborations, every bar I have tried so far is 5 stars and the most recent delivery will give me the chance to tick off all the bars that have been available for the last 6 months, if your reading this get your alarms ready for every Tuesday at midday and Friday at 8pm for the restocks as these bars are popular and you definitely don’t want to miss out. Truly hope this excellent business is still around for decades to come.

This is such an incredible review — thank you! 🥹🍫 You’ve captured exactly what we pour into every bar: care, passion, and a little bit of theatre from dispatch ping to unboxing (your photos made us beam!).

Huge thanks for shouting out the subscription too — it’s the best way to snag the collabs and tick off the whole lineup. For anyone reading along, our regular restocks are Thursdays at 12:00 pm and Fridays at 8:00 pm (UK time) — set those alarms! ⏰

Your wish for us to be around for decades has us all a bit teary. Thank you for being part of our chocolatey world — we appreciate you more than you know. 💛

Pricey. Worth it!

Ok its expensive but probably the best flavoured chocolate bar Ive had! The supermarket bars never quite hit the mark. This does!

Thank you so much for your lovely review — we’re thrilled you enjoyed the Grasshopper Mocktail Bizarre Bar! 💚🍫 It’s one of our favourites too — all that minty, chocolatey goodness just hits differently.

We totally get that our bars are a bit of a treat — each one’s handmade in small batches, packed with high-quality ingredients and a whole lot of love, so hearing that it’s worth it really means the world to us.

First class chocolate

We are Dcypher Beauty, our team have a chocolate smith stash in our office every week!

We have tried EVERYTHING and I mean everything, the quality of the chocolate is SUPERB there really is nothing better on the market (we have tried)

The Geordie is our all
Time favourite (and I’m a mackem so never thought I would write that sentence!) because your caramel is honestly just the best.

From the Easter eggs to the pumpkins, your creativity and attention to detail in packaging to decoration is 10/10

As a small business that makes everything from scratch one bottle at a time we appreciate how much effort and work goes into how you make one bar at a time.

We should do a chocolate x make up collab! 😃

This has absolutely made our day — thank you! 🥹🍫
We’re over the moon that you’ve tried everything (the ultimate compliment!) and keep a Chocolate Smiths stash in the office. Hearing that The Geordie is your all-time fave — from a proud Mackem, no less! — has us grinning. Our caramel is a labour of love, so that means the world.

Thank you for the kind words about our packaging and the seasonal pieces too — from eggs to pumpkins, we pour a lot of care into every little detail. And as a fellow small business making things from scratch, your appreciation really hits home.

A chocolate × make-up collab sounds like so much fun! 💄🍫

Absolutely amazing

The chocolate pumpkin I ordered looked exactly as I expected and tasted divine. I can only recommend ordering from here, since I don’t know if there is any other shop that comes even close.

Great products

Great products. I usually gift my purchases from the Chocolatesmiths, I've been lucky enough to get the easter eggs, pinata, pumpkin and bars. Everyone I've given too, now buys there own chocolate. And finally Great customer services.

Wow!!

Wow!!! I was a little worried as I'm from Australia, been following you guys for 5 years now and decided to bite the bullet and give in to finally buy your chocolate (after realising you actually send everything to Australia!) Now, i will never be able to eat Australian chocolate again. And this is no joke, hands down amazing chocolate. Best I've evwr had. So well thought out with the combinations. Just so incredibly delicious. Mind blowing! Thank you so much! So glad to have more on the way!!

Oh wow — what an incredible message to receive all the way from Australia! 🇦🇺🍫 We’re so, so happy you finally took the plunge after following us for so long — and hearing that it was worth the wait honestly means the world to our little team.

We put so much love (and a lot of taste testing!) into those flavour combinations, so it’s amazing to know they’ve made such an impression. We’ll keep the deliciousness coming your way — and we’re thrilled to have you as part of our chocolate family down under! 🌏💛

Belated but extremely positive review!!!

I’ve been meaning to do this review for ages!! I fell in love with the chocolate smiths when I ordered a mystery box from them in 2024 and received the marvellous mint chocolate chip ice cream bar (side note: please bring this back, I’ve never tasted anything like it since) anyway, in September I ordered some grasshopper bars for my best friends birthdays, they’re twins! I thought they wouldn’t arrive in time so I emailed and asked if they could get here before the 27th of September. The customer service I received was exceptional. They dispatched my order as soon as humanly possible and upgraded my delivery to 24 hour at no extra cost. A business who cares. My best friends loved the gift!

This is such a gorgeous review — thank you! 💚 We’re so happy you discovered us through a mystery box and fell in love with the Marvellous Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream bar (noted loud and clear… we’ll feed that request to the kitchen elves! 🍃🍫).

I’m thrilled the Grasshopper bars made it in time for the twins’ birthday — and thank you for the kind words about our customer service. We genuinely care, and it means the world to know it showed.

Please tell your best friends we’re sending belated birthday wishes — and thank you again for choosing us for such a special gift.

I love this chocolate so much

I love this chocolate so much

I am a huge chocolate fan, however this is different it’s gooey, flavoursome, chocolatey deliciousness.

The only problem I have it trying not to finish the whole bar in one sitting. I’ve tried all the flavours and the golden bar is my favourite!

This review has us grinning ear to ear — thank you! 🥹🍫 We’re so happy you’re loving the gooey, flavoursome, chocolatey deliciousness (our favourite three words!). And yay for the Golden Bar — she’s a star in our lineup. ✨

Totally get the “one sitting” struggle… pro tip: break it into chunks and hide half (from yourself) — or don’t, we won’t judge!

Thank you for trying all the flavours and for the gorgeous support.
