How We Make It

At Josh's Chocolate, every bar, button and hot chocolate spoon is handcrafted in small batches in Cornwall. We believe that exceptional chocolate starts with exceptional ingredients, careful craftsmanship and a genuine passion for creating something special.

Our mission has always been simple: to make luxurious chocolate that not only tastes incredible but also tells a story. Every recipe, every flavour and every product is inspired by places, memories and moments that mean something to us.

Our Ingredients

Great chocolate begins with great ingredients.

We carefully source premium-quality chocolate and the finest inclusions to create recipes that are rich, smooth and full of flavour. Our signature range includes silky 36% milk chocolate and intense 64% dark chocolate, each chosen for its exceptional taste and quality.

From crunchy caramel pieces and roasted nuts to vibrant fruits and Cornish sea salt, every ingredient is selected to complement the chocolate perfectly.

Why We Chose the Melt & Mould Process

After extensive research—and plenty of tasting—we chose the traditional melt and mould process, the same approach used by many artisan chocolatiers.

We work with premium-quality, pre-refined chocolate that has already undergone the complex refining process, allowing us to focus entirely on what makes Josh's Chocolate unique: creating exceptional flavour combinations and producing every product by hand.

1. Melting the Chocolate

Our chocolate is gently melted to the ideal temperature, ensuring it remains smooth and glossy while preserving its rich flavour.

2. Adding the Flavours

Each recipe is created by carefully blending our chosen flavours and inclusions into the chocolate before tempering. Whether it's crunchy caramel, roasted almonds, blueberries, hazelnuts or refreshing peppermint, every ingredient is added by hand.

3. Tempering

Tempering is one of the most important stages of chocolate making. This carefully controlled process ensures every bar has:

A beautiful glossy finish

A satisfying snap

A smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture

Excellent shelf stability

4. Moulding

Once tempered, the chocolate is poured into our signature moulds to create bars, gigantic buttons and hot chocolate spoons.

5. Removing Air Bubbles

Each mould is gently vibrated to remove trapped air bubbles, ensuring every chocolate product is perfect.
