Instagram is foodie heaven – and let’s be honest, more of the best edible snaps feature chocolate. Perhaps you’ve created a delicious chocolate cake you want to show off, or made a ganache that looks so good everyone needs to see if.

If you want to get involved in the fun, here’s how to get your chocolate creations looking Insta-perfect.

Choc on Choc is constantly reinventing the chocolate wheel and bringing new creations to the table. But at the same time, we’re proud to say that our customers keep on coming back for our delectable designs again and again.

But in the wider, ruthless world of chocolate, not everything lasts forever. Remembering and repeating this mantra is essential to getting through the national tragedy of beloved chocolate bars being discontinued. The chocolate bar graveyard is full of weird and wonderful chocolatey inventions that are no longer – either because they weren’t popular enough, or they were just a downright flop.

Here are some of the chocolate bars that never really took off.

When it comes to breakfast, you really are spoiled for choice.

You could have our delicious solid white Belgian chocolate avocado, filled with a gloriously indulgent caramel truffle. Or, if you’re feeling adventurous, you could have a dip with our chocolate-filled eggs with chocolate toast soldiers.

And now, Pancake Day is upon is, meaning there’s no better time to indulge in some chocolate. Pancakes, too, of course – but who can have pancakes without some chocolate?

Here are a few recipes to get you through the day.
