Ordered the salted caramel brownie and…
Ordered the salted caramel brownie and black forest gateau.
Was it worth the money and 2 weeks wait?
Definitely aesthetically pleasing but:
The caramel brownie bar was very sweet with very little brownie elements. Not bad if you want a general caramel bar.
The black forest has an overpowering cherry gel taste. Had no white chocolate ganache and only a shell of dark chocolate. No double chocolate fudge experienced.
Great social media page. Do think there is room for improvement.

This is the best chocolate that I have ever had. I am a wee bit of a connaisseur as I lived in Brussels for a while and tasted all the fancy chocolatiers. This will not disappoint. Happiness in à box.

Coming from someone who has sampled the chocolatiers of Brussels, that is truly high praise and means the world to us. 🍫✨

Thank you so much! 😊 We absolutely love hearing that you look forward to every new release — that means the world to us! 🍫✨
And we’ll definitely take that vote for the return of Toffee & Mallow — it’s a favourite of ours too! 😍
Without a doubt, the UK's #1!!
I have purchased from the choccy smiths semi-regularly over the past two years and my lord are they divine!!
The quality is out of this world, and though they are on the pricier side I am more than happy to pay it for the ethical improvements and to support a small family owned and run business!! My waist line is also enjoying the less, but better quality chocolate approach too!!

The chocolate quality is amazing
The chocolate quality is amazing. You can really taste how much thought and effort has gone into the product.
Order process was easy and it arrived in a timely manner.
My only feedback would be is that as the chocolate quality is exceptional, this over powers the flavours sometimes of the fillings. I think fillings are flavorful alone, but are very subtle when eaten with the chocolate

Absolutely THE BEST chocolate I have…
Absolutely THE BEST chocolate I have ever tasted. I am not a huge caramel fan but The Chocolate Smiths caramel is something else and not like 'normal' caramel, it is sooo tasty! The black forest bar has got to be my favourite, it is lush! Very talented team and a fabulous small business to support. Total value for money, even the packaging it comes in is fabulous and extremely well thought out and designed... love this business, well done Steffi and team.

Amazing chocolate and something new
Amazing chocolate and something new that no other company are doing. They have incredible and amazingly different fillings that just stand out with flavour and texture. It’s the closest we will ever get to Willy wonka in our lifetime. With a dedicated hard working team that love what they do, and a constant presence on social media. High quality ingredients and all lovingly made by an amazing team. Just discovered the chocolate smiths in the last month and have already tried all the flavours. It’s a new addiction that I always enjoy once the little one goes to bed and I can finally relax on the sofa and crack open one of these incredible bars. Keep up the amazing work guys. It’s expensive chocolate, but so very worth it.

We’re so delighted you’ve been enjoying all the different flavours, textures and fillings so much. Creating unusual and exciting combinations is something we genuinely love doing, so hearing that they stand out really means the world to our small team ❤️
Your lovely comments about the team, the social media presence and the care that goes into everything are genuinely so appreciated too. We all work incredibly hard behind the scenes, so messages like this really do keep us going.
And we absolutely love the image of finally getting a quiet moment once the little one is asleep and opening a chocolate bar on the sofa 😂🍫 That sounds like a very well-earned treat!
Thank you again for your amazing support and kindness.

Maybe it just wasn’t my thing and I’ve been spoiled by other (better quality?) chocolate. Appreciate the work to try to replicate flavours. Nana’s biscuit tin was a fantastic idea but the flavours and textures were lost in what tasted like a milky bar! The baklava also disappointed as I was hoping for some crunchy consistency. Now I just have teeth covered in sugar and going to need a big cup of tea to restore my tastebuds! Great ideas but just sadly not delivered as well as they couldn’t be

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such honest and thoughtful feedback 😊
We’re really sorry to hear these flavours weren’t quite the right fit for you. Taste is always such a personal thing, especially with some of our sweeter and more nostalgic-inspired bars, and we completely understand that not every flavour profile will suit everyone.
It’s genuinely helpful to hear your thoughts regarding the sweetness levels and the texture of the Baklava bar, as well as your comments about Nana’s Biscuit Tin. We always aim to balance creativity, nostalgia and texture as carefully as possible, so feedback like this is really valuable to us as a small team.
We do really appreciate you recognising the ideas and effort behind the creations, even though the flavours themselves didn’t land the way you’d hoped.
Thank you again for giving us a try and for taking the time to share your experience.
Best chocolate I’ve ever tasted! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
What an absolute delight! The Chocolate Smiths not only make the most incredible chocolate bars, they deliver an entire experience! It is clear that this beautiful little business is run with passion and joy, which is passed on to customers through new, exciting recipes and gorgeously designed packaging. I made my first purchase two weeks ago…and I’ve just ordered a third! (Couldn’t resist the new bars in the Friday re-stock!). The Golden Caramel Bizarre Bar is my favourite so far and can’t wait to try The Savvy Baker collaboration bar. I know I won’t be disappointed ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We also absolutely love that your first order has already turned into a third thanks to the Friday restock temptation 😂👀 The Golden Caramel Bizarre Bar is definitely a favourite around here too!
We really hope you love The Savvy Baker collaboration bar just as much.
