Our Story

At the start of the great Covid lockdown in early 2020, we watched quite a bit of TV as did most of the world! In particular we saw a program on chocolate making, and as we both love chocolate and cooking, we started to experiment, first with cooking chocolate and then moving up to the couverture Belgian chocolate we use today. We were aided by Amy of Amy Sargeantson chocolates of Brisbane, who generously provided us with invaluable help and advice.

After inundating friends and family with our chocolates, we realised that we had a demand, and decided to go to farmer’s markets around the Gold Coast, and happily spent our first couple of winters every weekend selling to the public, but had to stop each summer due to the heat.

Then in early 2022 we put Burleigh Chocolate in our first store, Ambarella Fine Foods in Burleigh Waters, followed by several others around the Gold Coast. In early 2023 we expanded to Market Organics, and today we are represented by 7 stores in Brisbane and also Southport and Ipswich. Our list of outlets is below, with our latest, Ground Grocer at the Eco Village in Currumbin carrying our new range of Soya free organic chocolate.

We are constantly innovating and improving with new flavours, while sticking to our principle of only using the best Belgian or German couverture chocolate, along with the finest ingredients, and hand making every product
