More about PLAYin CHOC

Our winning formula is a combination of just three natural and organic ingredients. This includes gently roasted cacao which is grown on small family-owned farm collectives in Peru (certified slave free, child labour free and animal labour free), Madagascan Bourbon vanilla and vitamin rich coconut. All of the ingredients are certified by the Soil Association, which means a reduction in pollution, conserving water, reduction in soil erosion, increase in soil fertility, and use of less energy. Organic farming without pesticides is also better for us, for nearby birds and animals as well as people who live close to farms.

We are proud to produce all of our chocolate in our own Salsa certified UK factory which only handles our three main natural and organic ingredients. So not only is the chocolate vegan, it is also free from the 14 major allergens, including dairy, gluten, nut and soy.

We entered the market back in 2018 with our set of 18 Endangered Toychoc animals, which has since grown to 66 collectable animals across 5 ranges. The latest range to launch is a set of 18 Dinosaurs, which sits alongside 18 Woodland animals, 6 Rabbits and 6 Christmas characters.

Our ToyChoc boxes are loved by kids and welcomed by adults. Each recyclable card box contains 2 x 10g chocolates wrapped in 100% plant based home compostable film, a 3D animal puzzle toy to assemble and collect and a fun facts educational card to learn about that animal. So whether you want to collect the animals, use them as plastic-free party bag favours, or simply purchase them as an every-day special treat, they are great for creative imaginative play, education and half the sugar of typical alternatives.

In addition to our ToyChoc range, our JustChoc range has proven extremely popular, either as an on-the-go snack or to gift to friends and family.
This collection includes a 5 or 10 piece box and a new 3 piece box. Each 10g piece has the same three ingredients (available as Single Origin Peruvian Dark 70% and Single Origin Peruvian Vegan M●lk). Each 10g mini-bar is individually wrapped in 100% plant based home compostable film. This allows maximum portability, freshness, hygiene and portion control.
