Hopping on to this 2016 trend..

We were in our beloved kitchen at the old Granada Studios, won the first of what would turn out to be 19 Academy of Chocolate awards, did our second Salon du Chocolat in London and did some lovely markets at Druid Street in London and the Old Fire Station in Manchester. We also did our first order, deciding to wrap hundreds of bars in one night.. rather than, ya know, wrap as we went along... Isobel's currently muttering about what a stupid idea that was... you live you learn your capacity for late night labelling...

This year we're still in our lovely little shop on Deansgate Mews marking our 11th year of Chocolate making, Isobel's hair is pinker than ever and we've a better hold of planning and sourcing more sustainable amounts year on year. We're actually still using a lot of the same equipment we were using back then apart from some slightly bigger grinders. Have our collective eye on couple of bits of kit at Chocoa next month though 😜

✨ STALLHOLDER SPOTLIGHT: Dormouse ✨

Say hello to Dormouse! Award-winning, bean-to-bar chocolate made by Isobel (with a bit of help from Karen!) right here in Macclesfield 🍫💛

For the last ten years, Dormouse has been crafting single-origin chocolate from ethically sourced cacao, lovingly transformed from bean to bar with incredible care, flavour and craftsmanship.

They’re now officially part of the Macc community, and we’re so excited to finally have their beautiful chocolate at Proudly Made!

Expect gorgeously rich bars, perfect for gifting, sharing, or hiding in the kitchen as a treat for yourself this winter 👀✨

Perfect for anyone who loves ethical artisanal chocolate, foodie gifts, or supporting local makers 🎁

🎄 Find Dormouse at the Proudly Made Winter Queer Makers’ Market
📍 Townley Hall, Macclesfield
🗓️ Saturday 6 December, 10am–2pm

Thanks to the Teams at and for another great event this weekend and to everyone who came along. And thanks to for this lovely photo of us at the Fair yesterday 🍫❤️

We also attended drinks on Saturday to discuss the new UK and Ireland Craft Chocolate Association which we've been involved in setting up. Find out more and follow here
There's so much more to bean-to-bar chocolate making than images of melangers.

Chocolate making is so complex. You've got to learn about what bad looks and tastes like as well as signs of quality, waaayyy before you've even put a bean in the oven. As a Chocolate Maker you’re constantly seeking out knowledge and exciting new beans and methods. As we always say, ask questions if you don't see the information you need being shared!

Seriously, so much cleaning up. Chocolate Makers, what's your 'favourite' washing up? I'll go. I'd rather clean a grinder than the CPS Cracker.

What a joy to visit Karen in Manchester today! 🥳

Karen and her partner Isobel are making some of the finest bean-to-bar chocolate in the UK. Just look at the wall of awards!

It was great to taste more of the Dormouse collection and pick up some goodies to take home. 🍫

Thanks to Karen for the lovely chocolate chat, and the Belle and Sebastian chat as well!
