FAQs
ABOUT THE CHOCOLATE
Most chocolate companies roast the cacao beans as a part of their process in making their chocolate. We skip this stage in order to maintain the natural properties that are found in a cacao bean. This is what is known as raw cacao.
“Oxford Brookes tested our chocolate and found significantly higher levels of antioxidants and polyphenols compared to four leading UK dark chocolate brands.”
One of the biggest differences is that we are the only chocolate producing company in the UK that sweetens some of our chocolate bars with only Yacon Syrup.
Yes. There is a flat rate of £12 for international delivery. This price includes being fully tracked.
You can buy our chocolate on our online store, and you can also find us in many independent retailers throughout the UK. If you can’t find us in any stores, drop us an email on the contact page and we will tell you the nearest stores to you that stock our bars.
All of our bars are 35g each, and measure 11.2cm x 4.2cm.
Our chocolate contains no refined sugar. Instead, we sweeten our bars with healthier, natural alternatives. No artificial sweeteners or ingredients are used. We use Yacon Syrup, in four of our bars. We also use Coconut Sugar in our Vegan Mylk Chocolate Bars.
Coconut sugar has a GI (Glycaemic index) of 54, 10% lower than regular sugar. Yacon syrup has a GI of just 1.
The lower the GI, the lower the impact on your blood sugar levels.
No. Our chocolate contains no palm oil.
Mr Popple's Chocolate is strictly palm oil free due to the negative environmental consequences resulting from the production of palm oil and the nature of its plantations.
Yes. All of our chocolate bars are certified organic, and our chocolate doesn’t contain any genetically modified ingredients.
Additionally, because our products have organic certification by the Biodynamic Association (BDA), no pesticides or herbicides are used in the production of any of the ingredients in our chocolate bars.
We aim to be as efficient and careful as possible when packaging your orders, but If there is a problem with your order, please get into contact with us and we will be happy to help to resolve any issues you have as soon as possible.
Our chocolate is fairly traded.
We are not registered fair trade, but we do follow the same principles and philosophy that the Fair Trade Association promotes.
Here at Mr Popple's Chocolate, we are big believers that everyone involved in the chocolate industry should benefit, including mother nature! That's why we work hard to invest in fairly traded products and ensure that every person in the chain is treated and paid fairly. The promotion of sustainable farming practise is also on the top of our agenda.
So whilst our packaging may not carry the logo, rest assured that we're doing our bit to make sure the way that we operate is fair for all.
Yes. All of Mr Popple’s Chocolate Bars are organically certified by the Biodynamic Association (BDA).

ALLERGY INFORMATION
Our chocolate is free from the top 14 allergens. For nut allergies please refer to the containing nut FAQ.
Although our ingredients are sold to us as nut free, and the environment the chocolate is made in is nut free, we are a small business and we cannot yet afford to have our chocolate tested for traces of nuts. Please eat at your own risk, as we cannot guarantee the chocolate bars are 100% nut free.
Yes. Our chocolate is completely dairy free and vegan. We use a range of vegan milks in our bars, which we think makes our chocolate even tastier.
Yes. Our chocolate doesn’t contain gluten and is suitable for those with gluten intolerances and coeliacs.
