My Chocolate Bar, Partners Mark Hoadley & Pauline Donner:
Unable to find any locally hand crafted chocolates, Mark and Pauline set to and decided they would make their own. From the beginning they decided to produce fresh chocolates without the use of preservatives, additives or artificial flavourings.
After painstakingly mastering the art of chocolate making and sourcing local ingredients, came the small matter of naming the business. And so ‘My Chocolate Bar’ was born. 
What makes us so special and unique is the way we hand craft every chocolate truffle, each one different, using the finest Venezuelan Couverture blended with ingredients from Hampshire, and not a hint of preservative, artificial colouring or flavouring. Our attention to detail with sourcing amazing produce really shows in the taste of our products.Not many people know but we only opened for business on 1st September last year…
Local food has always inspired us, we are both from local villages so appreciate the fine balance of fresh, organic, home-grown or homemade produce. We support our local farm shops, you can taste the difference!
Our favourite product is probably where we differ, Mark loves the sea-salted caramels and Pauline, any truffle! All of them a favourite!
We use several different local producers in the making of our chocolates: Fonthill Glebe especially for their liqueurs which we use in some of our truffles and without the local Apiary of Hayden Gumn who supplies our honey we couldn’t make our Orange Honeycomb, and we have just discovered Lyburns rich creamy butter….
Hampshire Farmers Markets are a lively and friendly community within themselves. Each stallholder selling a unique sample of Hampshire produce. We are proud to now be associated.
