Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 325 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the amazing quality of the chocolate and the delicious, unique flavors, often highlighting specific bars like the baklava and black forest gateau as exceptional. Many appreciate the creativity and thought put into the product development, with some noting the high-quality ingredients and the beautiful, striking packaging that enhances the overall experience. Reviewers also find the products to be excellent value for money, despite the higher price point, considering the craftsmanship and unique offerings. The ordering process is generally described as easy, and many express excitement for future creations and continued purchases. However, some customers experienced issues with delivery, including long wait times, lack of tracking information, and damaged items upon arrival. A few people were dissatisfied with the product quality, mentioning that some bars were too sweet, lacked specific elements, or had a short shelf life, with one reviewer receiving chocolate with only two days until its best-before date. There were also isolated complaints about packaging quality, such as wrappers being put on upside down or not being securely sealed, and some found the customer service unhelpful when addressing these concerns.

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.

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.

If you want to go to heaven keep reading

Well, bless the angels for offering clearpay because when I tell you I've been waiting to try this chocolate. The budget did not allow but for my sons 21st I stretched to it and threw in a cheeky bar for myself. I haven't got to 45 without a lot of chocolate gaining my opinion, but THIS!!! Oh my days, the caramel is like nothing I've had before, the black forest my absolute favourite. The tangy with the sweet with the bitter with the smooth .....oh ...why did I wait so long . This'll be me now. A never ending payment to Chocolate Smiths and jesus it's worth it.

Thank you so much for your kind (and hilarious!) words — you’ve absolutely made our day here at Chocolatesmiths HQ.

We’re over the moon that you and your son loved the bars — especially the Black Forest and that dreamy caramel! We put so much care into every batch, and hearing how much you’ve enjoyed them truly means the world to us.

And yes — bless the angels of Clearpay indeed! 😇

Thank you again for the love and support — we’re so happy to have you as part of our chocolate family. 💛

High quality and worth the wait.

High quality, delicious and interesting products. It’s a small batch business so you have to be organised to buy your preferred product and the dispatch times aren’t the quickest but the best things in life aren’t usually the easiest to get.

Thank you so much for such a thoughtful review — we’re absolutely delighted that you enjoy our chocolates! 🍫💛

You’ve summed us up perfectly — as a small-batch business, everything is handmade with care (and a little chaos!) so it can take us a touch longer, but we truly believe it’s worth the wait.

We really appreciate your support and understanding — it means the world to our small team.

Trick or treat pumpkin

Trick or treat pumpkin! HOLY SH!T IT’S AMAZING! I was unable to take a picture upon arrival as it was broken but considering it’s edible I didn’t mind, I’m in love with the flavours. I’m not a marshmallow fan at all but I couldn’t tell you it was marshmallow fluff. The sour apple caramel is so good, AND, having white chocolate that actually tastes good. Steffi you’ve done an amazing job and I’m in love with your creations.

I was dubious about the price, but I've been looking for good quality chocolate for a while - specifically caramel, and I was blown away. You can definitely taste the quality, I only tried three different bars - but will absolutely order again, really impressed.
