The Chocolate Bar

The Chocolate Bar at Taurus Crafts, Lydney.

We are a small artisan Chocolate Business based in the Forest of Dean. We use local ingredients wherever possible, and we use only organic chocolate. Our flavours are original and change with the seasons, and we have a range of flavoured chocolate bars as well as fine filled chocolates. Our range include well-known flavours like vanilla, orange, ginger and Barbados rum, and the more unusual like carrot, raspberry and chilli and hot mandarin.

We also make marshmallows, toffee, honeycomb, as well as chocolate covered fruits and nuts.

We bake traditional cakes which are available in Taurus Restaurant, and we bake the teacakes which are available there as well.

In the shop, we make cakes and pastries, doughnuts and brownies, cookies and Florentines, and we can make things to order - just ask.

We run workshops too!  Join in the 'Box of Chocolates' making workshops. Make your own box of chocolates and impress your friends. With guidance and know-how from the chocolatiers at The Chocolate Bar you can learn how to temper chocolate, make a ganache and learn different techniques for decorating your chocolates.
