Choc Affair has one of the best origin stories because it all starts with a mum trying to ensure her children didn't miss out on simple treats that many of us would simply take for granted. Choc Affair was born out of founder, Linda Barrie's, desire to create a delicious hot chocolate for her daughters, despite them having a milk intolerance.

Founded in 2006, for over 15 years Choc Affair continues to be a very successful UK-based chocolate supplier renowned for its commitment to sustainability, as well as its high-quality, handmade chocolate products.
