My name’s Tina and I’m behind Naturally Heavenly Chocolates. Vegan chocolates made with raw cacao, no artificial flavours, refined sugars, additives, or preservatives nor soy and gluten. All handmade by me, in a small Staffordshire village between Lichfield and Rugeley. 

I love chocolate! But in Summer 2020 I was diagnosed with two autoimmune conditions causing 75+ symptoms. I soon realised that dairy, gluten soy, grains, nightshades and e-numbers were simply going to be out of bounds for me if I wanted to feel better. But I missed chocolate, and when I looked for alternatives in the ‘free-from’ aisles nothing was suitable and, frankly, they didn’t taste great nor feel indulgent.

Raw cacao, which reduces inflammation and aids digestive health, had been part of my healing routine for a while, when I started to experiment in making chocolate with it along with other natural ingredients. I loved them – they are tasty and indulgent, just what I wanted. After all, those with intolerances should be able to feel as though they can indulge too!

As lockdown eased, I started enjoying my chocolates in front of others – people enjoyed them, wanted some to gift to family and friends, and encouraged me to consider selling them. This is where my business – Naturally Heavenly Chocolates – was born; I launched on 1 November 2021 and haven’t looked back. I now have a growing audience of vegan and diabetic customers enjoying my chocolates, as well as those who are ingredient aware or fancy something different.

Since launching in November 2020 I have gone on to win a design competition for a rebrand in January 2021, upgrade packaging to be fully biodegradeable, suitable for composting on your at-home compost heap and be chemical free; using food safety approved cleaning products.

from my home, to your home; vegan chocolates, not just for vegans!
