welcome to the home of be happy chocolate
​
be happy chocolate was born in 2018 from a desire to create dairy and cane sugar free chocolate that didn't feel like a compromise
we are proud to be creating a range of award winning chocolate that is delicious as well as being gluten, dairy and cane sugar-free
we hand-make all of our chocolate in small batches using a mixture of whole cacao beans and cacao nibs
​
we begin, by sorting our cacao beans before dehydrating them, cracking and winnowing them (to remove the outer husk from the nibs) then grinding the nibs in a stone grinder for several days and nights until they become silky smooth cacao liquor
we then combine our cacao liquor with the best raw, organic, unrefined ingredients in a way that preserves their natural goodness
we care about every single ingredient we use and only include foods that carry their own weight in terms of bringing nutritional value to our final product
we source our ingredients either directly from the growers or from suppliers who operate ethically and organically and give their growers, and our planet a fair deal
​
we hand wrap our bars in packaging that is beautiful whilst also being gentle on the environment. our packaging is home compostable, easily recyclable and printed onto FSC card using vegetable based inks
