The craft chocolate scene has exploded in Australia and the world in the last decade. Going from virtually nothing in many countries to several dozen homegrown chocolate makers. As of 2020, there are over 30 bean-to-bar chocolate makers in Australia.

The scene in Australia is full of wonderful, passionate people who put so much time and energy into making the most delicious, ethically sourced chocolate bars. But they need your support to survive and thrive as craft chocolate is not as established as the speciality coffee and craft beer industries.
