Made from our handmade bean-to-bar chocolate, gently flaked by hand in our Exeter micro-factory. No powder, no unnecessary ingredients, and no shortcuts.
Bean-to-bar chocolate handcrafted in Exeter
slow-made, ethically sourced, and flavour-first
Made in small batches from ethically grown cacao, in my tiny Exeter chocolate factory, with care taken at every step.
We’ve paired our exceptional Colombian cacao with a traditional Masala Chai blend from The Local Chai Co., & added a dash of milk. The blend of organic Assam tea leaves, with warming, aromatic spices makes this the perfect spiced dark-milk chocolate.

This chocolate bar is made from cocoa beans grown on the foothills of the Rwenzori mountains in Uganda. We soaked them in a blend of rums fermented, distilled and spiced in Exeter by Two Drifters Distillery. The result is a boozy, fruity and mildly spiced dark chocolate which showcases the cacao and the rum equally.

why nicola’s?
Every bar is made from scratch, from whole cacao beans to finished chocolate, in my small Devon chocolate factory.
Bean-to-bar means I make the chocolate myself, at every stage. I roast, crack, grind, refine and temper each batch by hand, adjusting the process to suit the character of the cacao.
It’s slower than industrial chocolate, and that’s exactly the point.
