Our range will include Mint, roasted hazelnut, fruit & nut, Chilli sugar, coconut crumble with raspberry pieces, salted caramel, custom bars where you can choose your toppings, and then 4 other bars that I am working on.

Rock Chocs Story
I have always enjoyed cooking and making things and have been vegan for 38 years since I was a teenager. I recently completed a chocolatier course up to level 5 with Amy Levin Raw Chef with a view to setting up my own chocolatier and vegan gift company.
I started first making gifts as Christmas presents for friends and family to practice all my recipes and decided over a year ago that I wanted to set this up as a business. I find it so rewarding making the bath bombs wrapping them delivering them and customers letting me know that they love them. It is such a lovely feeling . I have been for the past year studying up until level 5 of my raw chocolatier course as well as making plans to launch my business and Rock Chocs the beauty side bath bombs, bath bomb dust, foot soaks and face serum and pamper boxes was launched October 2019.
All artisan products are suitable for vegans and all packaging bags used are bio degradable and compostable I also use bio degradable glitter in the bath bombs. I also use bio degradable and compostable twine. All labels are vegan too, not that you want to eat them but I am passionate that everything is vegan. Everything is hand made by me at Rock Chocs I can also make bespoke products for personal use or for your business, wedding favours, hamper box to surprise a friend.
So the artisan side of my business which is vegan beauty and vegan chocolates is all made by myself and is in biodegradable packaging.
In August 2020 I have now added products to my business mainly fashion, vegan products from around the world, also eco nappies and Lifestyle products are sent out seperate to my artisan products.
If you would like to try some of my artisan bath please let me know I can have a chat to you and see if you need bath bombs to relax, revitalise or soothe.
The Vegan Chocolate side of my business I am hoping to launch by November 2020. Thank you for support my new venture. My small business really appreciates your support. I am hoping when the vegan fayres start up again that I can shortly start doing these again.
Thank you. You make the difference.
A big thank you to you for supporting my small business. Remember when you buy from a small business you are making a huge difference to that person and that families life. your order and being my customer means so much it is just me running this business and if I manage to be profitable it does not mean private jets, fast cars and 20 houses,
It is about the very small things that make a difference to my son and husbands life. So You make the difference. Remember this when you shop that small businesses work so hard to just pay the overheads before even making a profit and need your help.
Our chosen Animal Sanctuary to support
Our chosen animal sanctuary to support for the next year is Arthur’s Acres Animal Sanctuary In New York
I will be speaking to this amazing animal Sanctuary click here to go to their website Arthur’s Acres Animal Sanctuary over the next few weeks so I can do a few prize draw, auctions etc to help raise some money for them. Every order we receive we will donate £50p to Arthur’s Acres so if we get 50 orders a week we will donate £25 if we get 100 orders a week we will donate £50 to Arthur’s Acres Animal Sanctuary. The more people that shop with Rock Chocs the more we can help this animal sanctuary.
Zero Waste
Rock Chocs creates zero waste as all cosmetic glitter used is biodegradable, the packaging bags are made out of vegetable starch biodegradable & compostable so is the twine.
The Labels are made from recycled paper and can be recycled. The labels are vegan and printed using vegan ingredients. The postal boxes can be reused or recycled.
The jars are refillable & we sell refill packs. The face serum bottle is made from glass and you can recycle it. I am working on possibly doing refill packs for the bottle of the serum.
I also reuse any of the packaging sent to me when I receive deliveries.
when ordering please if you can order more than just one bath bomb saving on transport costs and environmental impact.

Rock Chocs Product Reviews
Rock Chocs Vegan artisan beauty and vegan chocolates has a zero waste ethics.
Rock Chocs- zero waste Ethics
I am so proud to launch Rock Chocs just a few weeks ago end of October 2019 launching the vegan artisan beauty first and hopefully by end of March vegan artisan chocolate. My main focus for my business was as I have been vegan for 38 years I wanted to create a brand that stood for the values I believe in and have done since I was a child and teenager. Rock Chocs is passionate about making artisan vegan beauty and vegan chocolate and making sure packaging is biodegradable, compostable, made from recycled materials or is able to be recycled. The bags I use to put the bath bombs and chocolate in are compostable and biodegradable, the twine is biodegradable, the tissue is made from recycled paper. The cosmetic glitter is biodegradable. There is too much waste in this world and if I can do my bit to reduce this then I will. I also recycle packaging from deliveries to me so that nothing is wasted. Also my business does not create loads of waste as there is no waste it is all used.
Here are some of the photos of some of the packaging I use.
