Shhhh - Trust no one. Pre-order to keep your chocolates safe...

Hiding chocolates is a national sport. 

We ran a survey to find out where people kept (ahem hid) their chocolates. 

Firstly, we’ve discovered that the nation is split with 48% keeping it chilled at least some of the time and the other 52% keep it in all sorts of places.

And secondly, we found out that 32% of the UK always hide their chocolates – from partners, kids (especially) and sometimes from themselves. Surely chocolate must be the only food found in every part of the home?

 

13% of the UK refuse to even tell us where they hide their chocolates.

We thought you might be interested in hearing a little about where people hide their chocolates...whether fresh chocolates like R&A or 'the usual suspects'.

 

 

We trust no one

People like to find unexpected places:

  • In the tumble dryer as it's the only place where my kids and other half would never guess 
  • In a box file in my office, labelled with a really boring committee name.
  • In the microwave where my partner never looks
  • Underneath a loose floorboard in the garden shed
  • In my knicker drawer 
  • To avoid my wife finding it, I stash it in the toilet cistern (but out of the water).

Laziness is very helpful

  • I hide my chocolate at the back of the salad drawer in the fridge,  my husband doesn’t move things so he won’t find them
  • Hidden behind the extra large jar of pickles on the top shelf of the larder
  • Under the bed - shhhhhhh
  • In the fruit bowl - the kids never look there!

Sometimes extra precautions are required:

  • On the top of the piano - hidden behind a picture frame to stop my husband eating them all!
  • In top reach of the cupboard. I have a bell 🔔 on the cupboard door so I know when my boyfriend is pinching 🤏 it!
  • In the locked box in the fridge 
  • If I told you I would have to kill you

It's a game of cat and mouse:

  • The location changes weekly so my partner can’t find them
  • Unfortunately our fresh chocolates suffer from the whisky equivalent of angel's share, they evaporate rapidly - in this case the angel is my wife - so they need to be kept out of sight
  • Depends if they are known about by my partner . Some in the fridge (known)  some in the garage (possibly known)  some in my golf bag (unknown!)

 

We're here to help for the Festive Season

We've set-up pre-order for our Festive Range so that you can reserve your fresh chocolates now and we will deliver them in December for two simple reasons:
1) You'll get the freshest batch with the longest shelf-life (at least until 6th January)
2) You need to hide the chocolates for less time from small, medium and even large hands...
 

We designed our chocolates to taste amazing cold, with fresh organic cream instead of palm oil, to give a wonderful ‘crack’ from the outer shell (for the chillers), followed by a smoooooth, long and lingering  intensely chocolatey melt. (for the softies).

You can pre-order here from our Festive Bestsellers
