Bon Bon’s makes sweet deal with Choc Amor

A Yorkshire-based confectionery company has bought an award-winning artisan chocolate producer.

Bon Bon’s Confectionery has acquired Choc Amor, which is based at Cedar Farm, in Mawdesley, Lancashire. 

Known for its innovative and indulgent flavour combinations, Choc Amor has earned numerous Great Taste and International Chocolate Awards over 13 years. 

Led by husband-and-wife team Paul and Jacqui Williams, the company has built a loyal customer base with products including its hugely popular Milk Chocolate Orange Jalfrezi. 

The takeover will see Paul and Jacqui continue in their roles as chocolatiers and development specialists, helping to grow the combined brand’s reach and reputation.

Paul said: “We have poured our heart and soul into Choc Amor, and we are incredibly proud of what we have achieved over the years.

“However, we had come to the decision that to move to the next stage of our journey, we needed to find a partner that could allow us to grow without compromising our exacting values.”

Jacqui added: “We have loved serving our loyal customers over the years and our partnership with Bon Bon’s won’t mean the end of that. 

“We chose Bon Bon’s as partners because of their family ethos and commitment to sustainability as well as their amazing reputation in the speciality food markets.”

Bon Bon’s, established in 2007, supplies garden centre food halls, farm shops, delicatessens, and visitor attractions, including Blenheim Palace and Hampton Court. 

Gary Johnson, head of brands at Bon Bon’s, added: “This is such an exciting acquisition for us at Bon Bon’s Confectionery and the Choc Amor brand complements our seasonal and year-round collections perfectly. 

“No other brand does what Choc Amor can do with flavour combinations coupled with genuinely impressive ethical and sustainability values which match our own. 

“We can’t wait to launch the new Christmas 2025 range and build on Paul and Jacqui’s vision.”
