Crafting Memories in the Heart of York
ChocolateHamper isn't just a business; it's a celebration of York's rich confectionery heritage. From our kitchen on Stonegate to your doorstep, we deliver handcrafted joy wrapped in elegance.
Our Mission
"To create the world's most delightful chocolate hampers by blending traditional English craftsmanship with sustainable, premium ingredients."
A Legacy on Stonegate
York has been the chocolate capital of England for centuries, home to iconic names and sweet inventions. ChocolateHamper was born from this very legacy. Located at 24 Stonegate, our shop stands on one of the city's most historic streets.
Founded in 2010, we started as a small family project in a home kitchen. Our passion for combining local dairy with exotic single-origin cocoa quickly gained a loyal following. Today, we ship our signature hampers across the UK, keeping the spirit of York's confectionery history alive in every bite.
We believe that a gift should be more than just an item; it should be an experience. That is why every ribbon is tied by hand, and every truffle is inspected for perfection.
Our Philosophy
Great chocolate starts with great respect—for the ingredients, the farmers, and the environment.
Ethical Sourcing
We work exclusively with suppliers who ensure fair wages and safe conditions for cocoa farmers. Every bean tells a story of fairness.
Handcrafted Daily
Machines can't replace the human touch. Our chocolatiers temper, mold, and decorate in small batches to ensure absolute freshness.
Pure Ingredients
No artificial preservatives. No palm oil. Just pure cocoa butter, natural vanilla, and rich North Yorkshire cream.
