Founded in Inverurie in 2022 by Helen Arkwright, CocoCaramel began from her passion for patisserie and the finest Aberdeenshire produce. After setting up at farmers’ markets with cakes and jams in late 2016, her discovery of caramel making in early 2022 was the spark that led to CocoCaramel’s launch later that same year. Today, each piece is still lovingly handmade in Helen’s kitchen, capturing local flavour in every bite. Since, Helen’s creations have earned national recognition, winning multiple Great Taste Awards, a Bronze Award from the Academy of Chocolate, and Best New Product at the North East Scotland Food & Drink Awards.
Our Story
After being made redundant, Helen turned her hand to caramel making. Using local Scottish ingredients and a background in engineering, her caramel jars quickly found a following. Chocolate came next. Learning to temper, she began pairing her caramel with chocolate- the beginnings of CocoCaramel.
Today, everything is still made by hand in small batches, from a home kitchen in Inverurie, by our team of four. Over time, a number of our chocolates have received awards, thanks to the care and consistency behind each of our creations.
