- The Gold Standard
Winner of BBC Good Food's Best Small-Batch Drinking Chocolate.
Our delicious single-origin dark drinking chocolate is the perfect indulgence for a cold winter’s day and a firm favourite in our cafe. It's also fantastic for whipping up refreshing iced hot chocolate drinks.
Made with the same craft methods as our award-winning bars, this dark hot chocolate is simply ground down into a fine, flaked powder. Stir and whisk 3 heaped tablespoons of the good stuff into milk - you can use old fashioned man power, or the hot chocolate machines and milk frothers work a trick.
90% Dark Chocolate - intense cocoa flavour.
Hallmark is our current "house" origin. We select this origin seasonally, depending on the characteristic and flavour notes from each origin. For our Hallmark origin - we want classic, comforting chocolate tones that are accessible to all.
Origin: Ghana, Asante Akim South
We also have a range of other cocoa percentages for those who prefer a sweet, creamier cup, or a richer, deeper cocoa drink.

FAQ
How should I enjoy Bullion Chocolate?
Take a moment. Place a piece of chocolate on your tongue and allow it to melt slowly, revealing its layers of flavour as it unfolds across your palate. Chocolate melts at body temperature, so the finest way to experience it is to let it dissolve naturally rather than biting straight into it.
Storing your chocolate
For the finest tasting experience, keep your chocolate in a cool, dry environment, away from heat, sunlight, and strong aromas. Avoid refrigeration - condensation can compromise the texture and smooth finish of the chocolate.
Is Bullion Chocolate compatible with hot chocolate machines?
Yes. Bullion Chocolate works perfectly with Velvetiser-style machines and other hot chocolate makers for a smooth, indulgent drinking experience. Alternatively, you can simply warm your milk in a pan or microwave and stir in the chocolate for a rich, luxurious cup.
Is Bullion Chocolate vegan?
Our dark chocolate recipes do not contain dairy as an ingredient. However, they are produced in a facility that also handles milk products, so they may contain traces of dairy. If you have a severe allergy or follow a strict vegan lifestyle, we recommend taking this into consideration before purchasing.
Is Bullion Chocolate gluten free?
All Bullion Chocolate is made in a facility that handles gluten. While many of our products do not include gluten as an ingredient, they may contain traces. Certain bars do contain gluten, so please check individual product descriptions if you have a gluten allergy or intolerance.
If you have a severe allergy, we recommend taking this into consideration before purchasing.
Is Bullion Chocolate nut free?
Some of our products contain nuts, while others do not. All Bullion Chocolate is made in a facility that handles nuts, so even products without nut ingredients may contain traces. Please check individual product descriptions carefully if you have a nut allergy or intolerance.
For those with severe allergies, we recommend taking this into consideration before purchasing.

Why our chocolate stands out
Transparently Sourced, Sustainably Grown
We’re care about where our cocoa comes from. That’s why we partner directly with farmers who share our commitment to ethical practices and sustainable farming. Every cocoa bean is carefully selected to ensure that you’re enjoying the highest quality chocolate that’s good for you and good for the planet.
Small-Batch, Bean-to-Bar Production
From day one, we’ve done chocolate our own way. We take cacao and turn it into chocolate from scratch, giving us full control over every bar we make. Most in the industry work with pre-made chocolate - we don’t. We’re one of the few who start with the bean, shaping every step of the process ourselves. It’s meticulous work, but it’s the only way to make chocolate that lives up to the standards we believe in.
Minimal Ingredients, Maximum Flavour
We want you to taste chocolate at its very best. Fine cocoa beans and organic cane sugar - as simple as it gets.
No emulsifiers. No soy lecithin. No palm oil. The result is chocolate that is nuanced, complex, and refined, and we are proud to be recognised with Gold at the Academy of Chocolate Awards.
“Bullion Chocolate was chosen by the Roald Dahl Museum to craft bespoke chocolate bars, recognising thier bean-to-bar expertise - the same hands-on approach that inspired Willy Wonka. Each bar is made from scratch, ensuring the highest quality, flavour, and craftsmanship, fitting for the legacy of one of the world’s most imaginative storytellers
