Guppy’s chocolates are handmade and hand packaged in York by Peter and Fran Guppy who are passionate about all things chocolate! I found a 90g bag of milk chocolate shards with fudge and biscuit pieces included in a chocolate hamper I was sent from a close friend as a gift. I’m not vegan but try the chocolate to compare with my non vegan chocolate and this didn’t disappoint. In mid 2010, they decided to put the business first, converted their garage into a chocolate factory, gave up their jobs and turned their hobby into a full time job!This aside, it's still an incredibly easy-to-eat treat, and you’ll fail to notice how much you have gorged upon whilst watching the telly until you reach the bottom of the bag. Both these issues are poles apart from what I expected to discover, which was soft creamy fudge and crunchy biscuit pieces. Ingredients: Milk Chocolate: Sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, cocoa mass, emulsifier: soya lecithin, natural vanilla flavouring. The shards are littered with scuffs and scrapes, but that is expected given the type of packaging used here. The taste of the Fudge and Biscuit Shards delivers exactly what you'd expect from the Belgian chocolate.

The company also produces Shards that incorporates salted caramel, honeycomb, orange, raspberry, peanut butter, peppermint and ginger flavours as well. Simply heat 220ml of your choice of dairy or plant-based milk in a microwave or in a saucepan on the hob. If you have tasted Belgian milk chocolate before, you will instantly recognise the sweet, creamy, caramel notes that release from this bag as soon as you open it. The pale brown milk chocolate slabs are studded with small fudge pieces and biscuit crumbs, that remind me of Oreo's in colour.Jazzies: sugar, palm oil, whey powder ( milk), wheat flour, wheat starch, fat reduced cocoa powder, emulsifier: soya lecithin, glucose syrup, natural colours – carotenes, betanin, anthocyanins, chlorophyllin; glazing agent: beeswax (cocoa solids min 33%, milk solids min 20. Ingredients: sugar, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, emulsifier: soya lecithin, natural vanilla (Cocoa solids 28% min; Milk solids 25% min). If you have a preference for white chocolate or milk chocolate, please let us know in ‘notes’ and we will do our best to accommodate. The Belgian milk chocolate shards are presented in a clear plastic bag which is capped with a glossy piece of card.
