If you’re looking for a way to say ‘Thinking of you', 'Happy Birthday’ or ‘ Thank you’, our medium Fresh Chococo Selection Box says it all – and more!
We carefully choose 16 of our award-winning chocolates for this selection box, all handcrafted fresh here at Chococo in Dorset. We pull out all the stops to make them look and taste divine, and we think we’ve succeeded – see the contents information below for details of all the chocolates that we choose from to put in this box and see how many awards they have won.
The contents will vary by season, so you might find a limited edition ‘ chocolate of the month’ or seasonal chocolates inside, along with our core range of fresh chocolates and truffles. But we always include a menu which includes both images and words to describe each chocolate, so you’ll know what’s in the box.
We also decorate each chocolate by hand with natural colours using paintbrushes and even toothbrushes (!) to create the various effects, so the patterns can sometimes vary slightly from the images shown on the menu.
Don’t forget some chocolates have truly fresh ingredients (and we don't use any additives or preservatives), so they are best eaten fresh and will only keep for a maximum of 3 weeks after their arrival date. Please bear this in mind when choosing your delivery date!
After Easter, you will be able to select a 'Future day' Royal Mail 1st Class delivery for the same price as 'instant' Royal Mail 1st Class - it isn't a guaranteed future day but will hopefully be close.
Finally, chocolates are happiest being stored at c14 degrees, but will be happy in the fridge if that is the only cool place you have. However, they are best enjoyed at room temperature before eating...a bit like cheese!
The selection of truffles & chocolates in this box will vary by time of year as we work with flavours that are in season & often launch limited edition chocolates of the month too. It will definitely include chocolates made with fresh cream ganache fillings, and no preservatives. This means that this box is best enjoyed within 2 weeks of delivery, max 3 weeks - when we say our chocolates are fresh, we mean it! A menu will be included in the box with pictures of all our chocolates too.
