Jan 2, 2017

For Valentine’s Day 2017, Dorset-based artisan chocolatier Chococo has created a collection of gorgeous chocolates to delight chocolate lovers.

 

Aspiring cupids can select from the following gifts in their 2017 Valentine Collection: Chococo’s NEW Valentine’s Club – a unique subscription gift; NEW freshly handmade Valentine’s selection boxes; a NEW range of delicious and fun Valentine’s Chocolate Hearts;NEW boxes of Salted Caramel lips; and NEW boxes of little chocolate hearts.

Carefully developed by the team, led by founders Claire and Andy Burnet, all the gifts are freshly handmade in Purbeck, Dorset, from fine origin chocolate from Madagascar (dark chocolate 67% cocoa) and Venezuela (milk chocolate 43% – which is very high in cocoa solids and lower in sugar) – so the object of your amorous intentions will get the best possible fine chocolate rush.  Chococo has always been a firm believer in working with chocolate high in cocoa solids & low in sugar, as it believes in giving its customers a fine chocolate, not a sugar, experience.

Also, to make the chocolates even more desirable, Chococo will be offering a free Valentine’s gift wrap on all selection boxes that are ordered online.

All the items listed below are available online on its website www.chococo.co.uk and from Chococo’s three Chocolate Houses in Swanage, Dorset; Winchester, Hampshire; and the NEW Exeter, Devon, location. Alternatively you can call 01929 421777 to order some tempting Valentine delights.
