Our Story
Since opening to the sound of the local church choir singing Christmas Carols in 2015 Maldon Chocolates quickly established itself as a “must go to” amongst Maldon’s chocoholics. Proprietor Mike Simons set out to create a shop where you can purchase quality chocolate and confectionary for any occasion. Key to the shop’s success was the extensive range, one that could not be bettered anywhere in the local area.
With the growth of our brand and online store we have decided to relocate to a larger premises at 2 Poppyfields Retail Park in Snettisham.
Guided by the principles that made our Maldon shop such a success we have developed a smart, productive and welcoming space for lovers of luxury, hand-made confectionery everywhere. This new premises will allow us to greatly expand our plans for special events and courses on the art of fine confectionery making, while continuing to cater to our dedicated and growing customer base.
We have a great many plans for the future, including a wide range of new products and flavours, and we hope to establish ourselves as an integral part of the Snettisham community. We look forward to welcoming you.
