We are huge fans of dark chocolate (especially thick, chunky slabs!) but always a little disappointed by the lack of variety and flavours on offer so decided to create our own by simply melting down some 85% and adding various nuts, spices and fruit It’s awesome fun to do and makes a fantastic gift idea.
