More Delicious Chocolate Packaging

The London department store Liberty has designed some nice packaging for their chocolate bars. I've photographed a few of these bars. There are two sizes - a full-size bar and a smaller size, which comes in a pack of three. The bars are brightly-coloured and depict the famous department store's timber facade. The packaging also contains brightly-coloured glitter. Various photographs of the packaging are below.

This year has been popular for UK-themed packaging for the Queen's Diamond Jubilee  and the Olympic games. The chocolate company Prestat designed Diamond Jubilee themed packaging and flavours. I've snapped a couple of the bars below. 

Each bar contains an image of the UK flag in the background with a different shade to distinguish between the different types of chocolate bars. There were more flavours, but I bought the "dark chocolate and raspberry" and "roasted almonds, sea salt and milk chocolate".

Another chocolate manufacturer to cash in on the Diamond Jubilee packaging is Monzuma. (This is probably my favourite chocolate, and the chilli and dark chocolate is divine.) Monzuma developed British themes and included the flag imagery in their packaging, and they have developed British flavours, such as "Eton Mess" and "Apple Crumble".

Hotel Chocolat, another chocolate company, have created "eggs and soldiers" and "eggs and chips" for the past two Easters, at least. I love the fried egg, which is made with white chocolate. (I've included photographs below.)

Recently, I visited South Bank's Chocolate Festival and got a glimpse of some really nice chocolate packaging from many different chocolate suppliers. I couldn't photograph all of them, but I got a good sampling.

Rocco Chocolates, http://www.rococochocolates.com, has many different types of vintage-inspired chocolate packaging. I loved the boxes with the hand-drawn pets on them, and I also loved the chocolate cats. (First photograph below taken by me, but the other photographs were taken from the Rocco Chocolate website's online shop.)

Another chocolatier I loved the packaging of was ChocStars. This company use images of celebrities as animal personas. (I know that Paperchase currently sells these images on postcards.)

Chocome (http://www.chocome.co.uk) is another chocolatier, and the packaging presentation is mainly focused on the product itself. The chocolate is made to look delicious.

Chocolat à Casser creates slabs of chocolate in a wooden box, and these slabs come with a wooden hammer to break the chocolate. The packaging and the chocolate looks beautiful, and I love this idea. Who hasn't bought a large slab of chocolate and struggled with breaking it up?

If you have seen any nice chocolate packaging, let me know.
