Bravely Chocolate

Our last market has come to an end. Before we close, we wanted to send a final thank you to the organizers at the Magic of Christmas, Pacific Coast Market Collective, for making our last day a great one. Also, a big thanks to all the market organizers we’ve worked with over the past 5 years, and everyone who enjoyed our chocolate treats.

We loved making chocolate and seeing the joy we brought to others. Choosing to close our operation was not an easy decision but we are looking forward to spending more time with our family. Thank you, Victoria, for the memories. We will miss it!

Yesterday we said goodbye to another market we have been part of for several years. Victorian Christmas Craftfair has been a great event we enjoyed participating in each winter. We will miss all the wonderful coordinators and the local community who attend each year.

Our final market will be at the Magic of Christmas through the Pacific Coast Market Collective at the Eagle Ridge Community Centre in Langford. We will be there on the Saturday only. Don't miss this last opportunity to try out some of our unique flavours, and grab some great gifts for friends and family.

Our market dates for this winter have been finalized and posted to our website. Please check out bravelychoc.com for more details.

This year has seen a number of changes and new challenges for us.

We are happy to announce that we’ve met out goal of guaranteeing our products are truly gluten-free by moving manufacturing into its own space within our home, separate from our personal kitchen.

Our pre-packaged boxes have been consolidated to a 13-piece, single chocolate type (milk, dark, or white) with new discounts when purchasing 3 or more boxes together. These multi-box discounts replace our previous 26-piece and 39-piece boxes. These new boxes have been redesigned to capture the beauty of British Columbia with art created by co-owner, William. Our individual you-pick options and chocolate bars are also still available for those looking for their favourite goodies.

Unfortunately, over the past year prices of cocoa and our other ingredients have continued to rise sharply. Although we have increased our prices slightly, we believe the delicious taste and quality of our homemade treats are still reflected in the value of these necessary changes.

Lastly, after much consideration, we have decided to make this our last year. We enjoyed every moment of this venture, but our work-life balance has shifted us in a new direction.

We hope you will join us at one of the wonderful markets below to say a final goodbye and purchase some treats for the season. It has been an honour to serve our hometown with quality chocolates.
