The Gold Standard of Caramel

Indulgence has a new name. Our Veliche Caramel Belgian Chocolate Bar is crafted for those who seek a deeper, more sophisticated sweetness. Using world-renowned Veliche Gourmet chocolate, this 95g bar is more than just a treat—it’s a masterclass in Belgian confectionery.

Unlike standard caramel-flavoured chocolate, this bar is created by expertly caramelizing the milk and sugar during the chocolate-making process. The result? A silky-smooth texture with an authentic, toasted-toffee flavour profile that lingers on the palate.

Why Veliche Caramel is Special:

• The Flavour Profile: Intense notes of butterscotch and real caramel with a hint of saltiness that balances the creamy milk base.

• Velvety Texture: Known for its high-quality cocoa butter content, this bar offers a superior melt-in-the-mouth experience.

• Artisanal Finish: Hand-poured in small batches in our No. 12 kitchen to ensure every bar meets our exacting standards for temper and shine.

Product Details:

• Weight: 95g

• Chocolate Type: Veliche Caramel (Belgian Milk Chocolate)

• Notes: Distinctive caramel, toffee, and butterscotch undertones.

• Packaging: Housed in our signature No. 12 sleeve, perfect for a sophisticated gift or a luxury self-care moment.

Chocolatier’s Tip: Pair this bar with a shot of espresso or a glass of salted caramel liqueur to truly unlock the complex toasted notes within the chocolate.

The Barista’s Bite: The No.12 Cappuccino Cup

Experience the essence of the coffee house, reimagined in fine chocolate. Our Cappuccino Cup is a playful yet sophisticated tribute to the classic Italian coffee. Crafted with a meticulous eye for detail, this chocolate mimics the layers of a perfect pour, offering a rich caffeine kick balanced by the sweetness of premium milk and white chocolate.

At No.12 Chocolatier, we use high-quality coffee extracts to ensure a deep, authentic roast flavour that lingers—making this the definitive choice for your mid-morning lift or an elegant after-dinner digestive.

Layered Like a Perfect Pour

We have carefully constructed this cup to mirror the textures of its namesake:

• The Roasted Base: A crisp, fluted dark chocolate cup provides the "mug," offering a bittersweet cocoa snap that complements the coffee notes.

• The Espresso Heart: A velvety milk chocolate ganache infused with a punchy, aromatic coffee blend. It is rich, smooth, and deeply fragrant.

• The "Milk Foam" Topping: Capped with a layer of creamy, melt-in-the-mouth white chocolate to simulate the light, airy froth of a cappuccino.

• The Final Touch: A delicate dusting of dark chocolate powder for that authentic café-style finish.

Why It’s a Morning (and Evening) Favourite:

• Authentic Coffee Flavour: We avoid artificial syrups, opting for a clean, roasted coffee profile that cuts through the creaminess.

• Triple-Chocolate Experience: Features all three of our signature chocolates—dark, milk, and white—in one harmonious bite.

• Visual Charm: Designed to look like a miniature work of latte art, these are a guaranteed conversation starter in any selection box.

“Everything you love about a barista-made coffee, captured in a single, decadent chocolate shell. It’s the ultimate treat for the coffee connoisseur.”

Product Details:

• Flavour Profile: Roasted coffee, creamy dairy, and bittersweet cocoa.

• Texture: A firm dark shell with a soft, dual-melting ganache and white chocolate cap.

• Pairing Suggestion: Exceptional when served alongside a fresh espresso or a nutty liqueur.

A Local Collaboration: The Lincoln Gin & Tonic Truffle

Celebrate the best of Lincolnshire with this sophisticated, spirit-led creation. Our Gin & Tonic Truffles are a testament to local craftsmanship, bringing together the artisan chocolate of No.12 Chocolatier and the award-winning botanicals of The Lincoln Distillery.

This is a "flipped" classic—where most G&T truffles use a white centre, we’ve opted for a bold, dark chocolate ganache to provide a deeper, more complex base for the gin’s botanical notes to shine.

The Anatomy of the Perfect Pour

We have meticulously balanced the "botanical bite" of the gin with the creaminess of the chocolate:

• The Heart: A rich, velvet-smooth dark chocolate ganache infused with a generous measure of locally distilled gin. Expect clean notes of juniper and citrus that cut through the cocoa.

• The Shell: A crisp, ivory-white chocolate shell that provides a mellow sweetness, mimicking the refreshing finish of a premium tonic.

• The Garnish: Each truffle is hand-finished with a touch of lime-green cocoa butter for the classic G&T "twist."

Why It’s a Standout:

• Locally Sourced: Featuring premium gin from The Lincoln Distillery, supporting local independent business.

• A Sophisticated Edge: The use of dark chocolate ganache makes this a more grown-up, less sugary version of a traditional gin truffle.

• Small-Batch Perfection: Hand-rolled and dipped in Lincolnshire, ensuring the spirit’s delicate aromatics are preserved in every bite.

“The ultimate local luxury. It’s like a perfectly mixed cocktail, captured in a hand-painted chocolate shell.”

Product Details:
