Audrey’s Chocolates

If you haven’t yet discovered @audreyschocolates , Brighton’s oldest chocolate shop and an iconic landmark since 1948, allow me to introduce you to why it deserves a visit. As a child, I would visit this charming shop to buy chocolates for my grandmother, creating fond memories that I’m sure many others across Brighton & Hove share

Audrey’s Chocolates is renowned for its handcrafted, traditional chocolates and is located in Hove, where all the chocolates are meticulously crafted on-site in a five-story townhouse. Each floor is dedicated to a different chocolate treat, and I was fortunate enough to be given a tour and watch the skilled chocolatiers in action

I was truly impressed by the level of detail involved in creating the chocolates, with many of the figurines hand-painted to an extraordinary standard. Witnessing the creation of their signature Violet and Rose chocolates was particularly fascinating, as the care and craftsmanship involved were remarkable. The passion of the staff is evident in their commitment to perfecting each piece, and I must admit, the delicious aromas made it hard to resist a taste!

The shop itself exudes charm, with its timeless ambiance and classic interior, making it feel as though you’ve stepped back in time. While you can still visit the shop and explore their wonderful selection—including their current Halloween collection—a significant portion of their business is now conducted online. Their website offers the full range of products, making it easy to experience the magic of Audrey’s Chocolates from anywhere

If you’re unable to visit in person, I highly recommend exploring their website to discover their exquisite offerings. These chocolates are truly something special and make the perfect gift for someone you love, helping to create cherished memories with these prestigious chocolates

I was invited to try this one. As always, all opinions are my own.
