The Peak District has become a quietly significant centre for artisan chocolate. Holdsworth Chocolates has been handmaking every piece in Bakewell since 1988 and is now one of the most recognised handmade chocolate brands in the country, stocked in fine food halls nationwide. I Should Cocoa has been crafting small-batch chocolates in Belper since 2008. CocoaDance in Castleton makes chocolates to order and runs experience days. Hot Chocolaterie in Buxton offers handmade chocolates alongside what many consider the best hot chocolate in the Peak District.
Combined with the Bakewell Pudding rivalry and the county's strong bakery tradition, Derbyshire offers a sweet treats scene with real depth and character.
