Bean to bar chocolate handcrafted in the Chilterns
JOYOUS is a bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in the picturesque Chiltern region. Our chocolate is handcrafted using the finest cacao beans, carefully roasted and refined to bring out their natural flavours. Experience the joy of truly exceptional, small-batch chocolate.
The Joy in JOYOUS
Joy has been writing about, tasting, judging and enjoying great food for the past 30 years. She is very excited that the craft chocolate movement is growing, and that she is now able to share its delicious flavours with you. Click to learn more about Joy and JOYOUS chocolate.
From our chocolate kitchen to your door
If you live within a 5-mile radius of Joy's Chiltern chocolate kitchen, she will deliver your chocolate by bicycle. Every little bit to help the environment (plus it gives Joy the opportunity to burn off a few bars!)
More information on delivery is included in our FAQ.
