Artisan Chocolates

Welcome to Wood Row Chocolate, we create artistic chocolate that is beautiful to look at and also tastes great. Nothing pretentious here, just good old fashioned fun.

Wood Row Chocolate

We have spent many hours behind the scenes perfecting our products and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Our chocolates make the perfect gift for loved ones or just as a treat for yourself, we are not here to judge, only to provide the best quality and most delicious product that we possibly can.

Our humble journey has begun, we hope you will join us, and remember: “your body is not a temple, it’s a roller coaster, sit back and enjoy the ride”

Morning All, Oh my goodness, what an amazing bunc

Morning All,

Oh my goodness, what an amazing bunch you are. The amount of support we've had in the last 24 hours is insane. So many unbelievably kind offerings & gestures, it blows are minds how many of you are always behind, rooting for us to succeed.

Obviously yesterday mornings melting fiasco was a disaster & major shock to the system...but it was a strong lesson that we'll never forget or repeat!

We couldn't do anything about the situation at the time, as we were due to attend the Wavy Folk Xmas Fair...& it was just what we needed. Stepping away from the issue to clear the head & shake it off. We ended up having a really great day. As soon as we got there we saw Gemma, Kate & all our other stall holder buddies & when we explained our morning it was nothing but love & support from everyone. Soon the doors opened & a flurry of customers game in. Live jazzy music was playing @jazz_buskers (they were fab) which really set the xmassy tone of the day. Folk always has the most inviting & warm aesthetic & it was even more beautiful when filled with Xmas decorations & the talents of local makers. The massive slice of toffee apple cake & mince pies also aided in lifting the spirits.

So many of you commented that you'd buy "fuck-up" boxes & "wonky bars"so not all is lost & it's something we'll put together. For now though we have Blackthorpe Barn (by far our BIGGEST event every year) coming weekend & hundreds of pre-orders to fulfil. We'll definitely get all this done, but for now the website will stay closed as to remove the added pressure of more orders coming in, while we catch up...will it open again before Christmas? Yes, but we're not sure when just yet, but we'll let you know.

A huge thank you to Kate & Gemma of @wavymarkets, Ali, Meg & their awesome family of @folksuffolk for organising & holding the event, a brilliant day that was thoroughly enjoyed by so many...put us down for the next one 😘

From the bottom of our hearts we thank all our wonderful supporters ❤️❤️❤️

We've fucked up....the mother of all fuck ups & a

We've fucked up....the mother of all fuck ups & a chocolatiers worst nightmare! Due to our main chocolate fridge being full, we left a huge amount of stock on the counter in the chocolate room with the air con on....well...what we thought was air con was actually the heater 😭😭😭😭😭

We've lost thousands of pounds worth of stock, copious amounts of hours of production & feeling pretty broken right now. This will immensely put us back behind schedule & therefore with a heavy heart we've had to pause any further orders from the website.

We don't have time to assess the situation right now as we are attending Wavy Folk Market today (apologies we will have a reduced stock) Gutted this has happened on the 1st of December, but the long hours have obviously taken its toll & 1 little mistake has proved detrimental...

What a way to kick off the Christmas season. Than

What a way to kick off the Christmas season.
Thank you to Darren & his team @prestigecountyevents for another year, it's was an absolutely blinding 3 days. Even with the weather, thousands flocked in to take part in the festivities & support the amazing talents of the local makers. Xmas carols were being played, the mulled wine was flowing & we got to catch up with some wonderful friends we've met on the market circuit.
I'm afraid I didn't get round to taking many photos this year, decided just to take it all in and enjoy the moment.

While we're very much having a slightly slower day today, the work behind the scenes continues.

The response to our Advent Calendars has been insane, we've got even more we need to box up ready to post tomorrow along with wholesale & online orders. We'll be catching up with some admin today & of course back to making bonbons tomorrow, stocking up ready for this weekends markets.

2024 Advent Calendar... It took 2 very long days

2024 Advent Calendar...

It took 2 very long days of packing with the help of our absolute diamond of a friend @harrietleeks. They've completely taken over all available space...but they're done & boxed up. I'm gonna blow our own trumpet here...but they look absolutely awesome. Beyond proud of this achievement.

24 Multilayered gems of pure indulgence & happiness, that will lead you into the festive spirit.

There's still time to get yours, visit our website woodrowchocolates.com (link in bio)
We'll also be bringing any remaining calendars to our next markets coming up:

Fri 22nd-Sun 24th: Hintlesham Hall Christmas Fair
Sat 30th: Wyken Vineyards Farmers Market
Sun 1st: Wavy Folk Christmas Fair

But there's no time to rest...we've got another 3200 bonbons & 128 bars to fill & package before our 3 day event this weekend.

Let's get s@*t done!!!

Seasons greetings to you all... It's the calm bef

Seasons greetings to you all...

It's the calm before the festive storm, so we thought we'd take this little opportunity while we still feel relatively sane and human to say hello 👋

We are Simon & Jessie of Wood Row Chocolate, we are a husband & wife duo (well not a actually married, but we own a house, a business & 2 cats, so it's as good as) who met 20 years ago (bloody hell) at The Leaping Hare Restaurant in Stanton. Until 3 years ago Si used to be head chef & I was front of house. While the lockdown was detrimental to thousands of people world wide, it was our saving grace. It gave us a significant amount of time & tranquility to evaluate what was most important to us & what we wanted for ourselves in life.

Si has always had a natural flare for cooking & flavours & it seemed only natural to stay in this field. I've always been creative, but never had an outlet & I didn't know how to utilise this as a career....enter bonbons.

Si was the brains behind all of this, I'm a very agreeable person & jumped at the chance to come along for the ride. With that we took the biggest chance in life & dived into the unknown. If it all went tits up then we could always slip back into the restaurant trade.
...I should note here, this was without doubt the BEST decision we've ever made.

So where are we now? This will be our 3rd Christmas & our 3rd birthday is due in March. We are so fortunate to be part of the passionate chocolate community & continue to grow steadily. We sell through our website, attend regular markets, offer wholesale, favours for weddings & corporate gifting. This Summer we converted our garage into Choccy HQ & have a wonderful, loyal following of customers.

We absolutely love our life of creativity & spreading some happiness through our bonbons. We are very thankful to be able to make a living from our craft... so as always, a massive thanks to all of you out there that makes this all possible. So much love ❤️

This was meant to be our Halloween post, but we were so busy preparing for the Winter menu change that we hadn't finished the diorama in time..

Enjoy ♥️

Our pop-up with the wonderful @southwoldflowerco This was a dreamy pairing of chocolate & posies. Such a beautiful space & location with an array of colours & scents. I was having a field day using all the Autumnal & Christmas displays as backdrops to showcase our bonbons, while Simon was working 😉

We were amazed at how many dahlias will still blooming for the "Pick Your Own" flower fields.

There was mulled wine to enjoy, and beautiful arrangements to browse...plenty of inspiration to be found for those special occasions.

If you're a keen crafter, have a look at their website, they hold regular workshops that offer a unique experience to enjoy with friends & family.

We honestly can't rate this company enough, you can see & feel how much thought, hard work & passion has gone it to making it what it is ❤️

Thank you so much Liz, Roger & the team for having us, we had a great time & would love to do this again with you in the future.

Mushroom Hunting with Bonbons...enjoying Mother Nature's magical Autumn offerings

It's all busy, busy behind the scenes preparing for the last menu change of the year...but we managed to nip out for a few hours after our weekend markets to explore the wonders of Knettishall Heath & enjoy the golden sunsets of late.

We'll be joining the amazing @southwoldflowerco family with our pop-up stall this Saturday, with lots of gorgeous goodies to offer. The flower barn has the most beautiful aesthetics with some absolutely stunning arrangements & ideas for you this Christmas.

Wedding Favours...

The happy couple celebrated their wedding a few weeks ago now, we hope they had an incredible day & are enjoying the next chapter of their lives together.

Customisation:
They had taste tested some of our flavours over a year ago & decided on the flavours:
-Banoffee
-Apple, Pear & Pecan Crumble
They had seen a couple of our designs & had requested them in a gold & purple, blue & purple.

There were also a couple guests who were attending that were vegan & gluten free & they were provided with their own special box of 2.

Wine & Chocolate evening with @vinogustouk

We think it's safe to say, that it was another absolute triumph of a night with the Vino crew.

We met some new faces, but also had a lot of familiar faces that have joined us before or we've met at the market. It is the most rewarding feeling to have built up such a good rapport with so many of our customers, seeing them return time & time again, it's an honour ❤️

I had a bit of a shakey start...when you work 6 days a week with just 2 of you, going into a crowd of 30 people with all eyes on you, is a bit of a nerve wracking experience to say the least. Luckily enough, as the wine flowed the nerves quickly subsided & what we had was an incredible evening.

Honestly, we think Vino Gusto have sussed out a really special establishment & have such a good thing going on. The atmosphere is like nothing we've experience for.

We've realised that with all the mingling & simply enjoying our night, we never actually took any photos of the dessert & sparkling wines Vino had paired with our bonbons...best you just get on down & come experience it for yourself 😉
We've got another evening coming up on:

Fri 8th November 7pm-9pm (vinogusto.co.uk) -limited tickets remain. We would have changed onto our Winter menu by then, so some different flavours & pairings to be enjoyed. We also bring along our Pop-Up stall, meaning if you enjoyed the wine & bonbons that night you are able to pick some up to take away with you 😉 Also remember if you have a Wood Row box, bring it back to our stall & receive 15% off your refill.

Thank you to everyone for joining us last night & the Vino crew for arranging the evening.

Advent Calendar 2024...when an artist & chef come together ♥️

These are now available on our website to pre-order (link in bio) woodrowchocolates.com

We are incredibly lucky to live in the countryside of East Anglia, with Knettishall Heath on our doorstep. When we were designing the illustration we instantly knew that the gorgeous mossy foliage of the heath would make the perfect backdrop to this year's calendar. The warm light of the sun at golden hour made the whole piece come alive. You end up taking hundreds of photos for those quality few.

We were a bit early for the mushrooms & the frost, so it's another excuse to go back soon for another shoot.

The design is inspired alot by the cartoons & books I viewed as a child, so I hope we provoke all that wonderful nostalgia for you to.

Happy October evening 🤣❤️

Wood Row Advent Calendar 2024 reveal! Pre-order o

Wood Row Advent Calendar 2024 reveal!

Pre-order opens Friday 4th October 12pm!!

We do "Autumn Style" magical woodland Christmas scene in this household. I took inspiration from cartoons & children's tales from my childhood; Animals of Farthing Wood, the trail to the house like that of Hansel & Gretel leading you down the "rabbit hole" taste sensation. I love a busy scene (Where's Wally) where your eye can wonder, looking out for little hidden treasures.

I hadn't used photoshop for a couple of years, so it took some time to dust off the cobwebs & get to grips with the program. I put on Game of Thrones for some white noise & got through 7 series...🙈 Alot of work has gone into this & we've vastly improved the box design from last year (custom fitting tray inside to hold the bonbons, so non will slip out this time 😉) so we just hope you all love it as much as we do ❤️

It will be £45 & filled with 24 flavours including our Great Taste Awards, Christmas flavours & some of our customers favourites from the year. We will be posting these out on the last week of November, or if you're local you can collect yours from one our markets:

-Fri 22nd-Sun 24th Nov: Hintlesham Hall Christmas Fair @prestigecountyevents
-Sat 30th Nov: Wyken Farmers Market @wykenvineyardsfarmersmarket
-Sun 1st Dec: Wavy Folk Christmas Pop-Up
@folksuffolk @wavymarkets

It's going to be the best way to round up our phenomenal year at Wood Row Chocolates.
