About Truffle Witch
Handmade with a little magic!
All The World Loves Chocolate
Our love affair with chocolate stretches back over 4,000 years. Ancient civilizations drank it infused with vanilla, chilli, and honey, treasuring its mood-lifting, invigorating — and even aphrodisiac — qualities. The Mayans worshipped the god of cocoa, reserving chocolate for the elite and for sacred rituals. Truly, it has always been the nectar of the gods.
Chocolate still holds its magic today: the rich aroma, the glossy beauty of a ganache, the crisp snap of tempered chocolate, and that intense, melting bliss on the tongue. Good chocolate doesn’t just taste wonderful — it comforts, excites, and enchants.
How It All Began
A lifelong passion for eating chocolate eventually nudged me into making my own. My very first attempt? Christmas pudding truffles (courtesy of a celebrity chef’s recipe) that were… memorable, but not for the right reasons! Luckily, that experiment sparked something much sweeter: a love of flavour alchemy and a curiosity to learn more. With training, trial and plenty of tasting, an accidental chocolatier was born — and in late 2016, Truffle Witch came to life.
Handmade with a Little Magic
Every creation is truly handmade — no tempering machines here, just traditional craft, patience, and love. We keep stock small, which means most pieces are freshly made to order. We delight in bespoke requests too; if you dream it, we’ll do our best to conjure it.
Which Witch?
Confession time: I’m not really a witch (at least, not the wicked kind). But I do love a little dress-up, so you might catch me in suitably spooky attire at the right occasion! I am a Reiki Master, which means everything I make is infused with positive energy as well as chocolatey passion. Every truffle, bar, and caramel is handmade with joy — and more than a little magic.
The Here And Now
From humble beginnings with hand-rolled truffles and old-fashioned fudge, the Truffle Witch range has grown into a cabinet of delights: artisan truffles in more than thirty flavours, plant based confections, caramels, nougat, filled chocolates, decorated chocolate shoes, bars and beyond. We also craft bespoke wedding favours, corporate gifts, and even run truffle-making workshops (see our Services page).
You’ll often find Truffle Witch in the wild, too — at autumn and winter fairs across East and West Sussex and Surrey — always ready to share a little chocolate enchantment.

About Ingredients…
We use fine Belgian chocolate and the freshest, highest-quality ingredients in all our creations, keeping them as pure and natural as possible. No artificial sweeteners, no palm oil — just delicious chocolate made with care.
Almost all our chocolate is now sourced from Rainforrest Alliance certified sustainable producers, supporting ethical cocoa farming.
Learn more about cocoa production and sustainability on our blog.
About Packaging…
Pretty Packaging, Kind to the Planet.
We love beautiful packaging almost as much as we love the planet!
Our boxes are made from sustainable, biodegradable materials, while the trays inside are made from recyclable PET and the cushion pads are fully biodegradable.
Wherever possible, the bags we use are recyclable and compostable, so your chocolate treats are kind to the Earth as well as indulgent for you.
About Dairy…
Vegan & Dairy-Free Products
We are scrupulous in ensuring that any product labelled dairy-free contains no dairy. All of these products also contain only ingredients suitable for vegans.
While we take great care to avoid cross-contamination, please note that all our chocolates and confectionery are made in the same kitchen. We understand that this may be incompatible with some ethical vegan values and respect your choices.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us via email.
About Hygiene…
Food Safety & Hygiene
At Truffle Witch, we take food safety very seriously - because magic tastes best when it’s safe! Our kitchen proudly holds a 5-star hygiene rating, and we’ve recently refreshed our Food Safety Training, including up-to-date allergy training in line with Natasha’s Law. You can read more about hygiene in our blog.
About Allergens…
Allergens & Labelling
With recent changes to food labelling, we’ve dusted off our allergen training and refreshed our magical knowledge to keep your chocolate experience safe and sweet.
All allergens are clearly highlighted in bold on our ingredient labels. Some ingredients are made in kitchens that handle allergens, even if the allergen itself isn’t in the product — we always make sure to let you know when this is the case.
Remember, all our treats are conjured in the same kitchen. We work hard to minimise cross-contamination, but it may occasionally happen. For your safety, all products may contain traces of nuts and/or peanuts.
