This is the most delicious chocolate brand I've found. I've been lucky enough to be gifted (by family) The Little House Advent Calendar, brownies and a box of chocolates and each time, they have been better than anything you could buy off the high street. They're little notes and cards are handwritten and always lovely to receive with the choccies too! The pic only has four/six chocolates as the other two were eaten (very fast) by me! More...

Received the most amazing advent calendar from these guys. Best chocolates I ever tasted and I have much experience in this area. They look gorgeous too. Honestly feel like its ruined me for normal advent calendars so will definitely be putting my order in next year as well 👍 More...

Your personal note to us was a lovely unexpected gesture and after having the pleasure of meeting you both I was very touched and it was so you! I would love to order from you again and thankyou for all of your hard work! More...

What do you love most about your job?
There is nothing quite as satisfying as creating desserts from the heart and when our customers love the look and taste of our creations!
What inspired you to start your own business?
Anna has always been a fan of pastry for as long as she can remember, having grown up with a grandfather who was also a pastry chef sparked her inspiration. She worked and trained as a pastry chef in numerous luxurious restaurants across London. She then founded The Little House in March 2020 after longing for something beyond the antisocial kitchen hours and having dreamed of owning her own pâtisserie since she was young.
Why should our clients choose you?
We love to work closely with each and every one of our clients to ensure that our desserts fit the look, taste, and design that they had in mind, whatever the budget.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Our cakes and desserts are available for collection or can be delivered for a small fee.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Having worked in professional kitchens, our attention to food safety and hygiene have always been done to the highest standards. We have always practised sanitising our work surfaces and kitchen after every task, and regularly deep clean our kitchen.

Bespoke Corporate Branded Chocolates
The corporate event, a time for businesses and people to network, show one another who they are and what they’re all about, and don’t forget the free gifts! But ask yourself, just how many logo mouse matts, mugs and keyrings does one person need, do these truly reflect your business, do they feel special?
Here at The Little House we specialise in that little something special. If you’re looking for a unique way to treat your customers, suppliers or employees whilst also promoting your brand, look no further.
Using your corporate image we can create chocolates that reflect your business - with custom colours, flavours and logo packaging all produced and designed in-house, creating a hassle free high quality gift that your company can be proud of.
Sourcing a corporate gift can mean spending valuable time and resources, with it often being necessary to work with multiple suppliers in order to bring together different elements and create one perfect finished product. The Little House can provide you with this all in one place, the complete package - a bespoke luxury chocolate offering from start to finish, and here’s how…
Chocolate Bonbons
Nothing says thank you quite like chocolate, it has long been the ultimate luxury gift to show how much we care, we respect, and we appreciate someone special. Lovingly hand made, hand tempered and hand painted, our bonbons are the perfect way to emphasise what it means to be connected with you.
Our bonbons are made from high-quality, fair-trade and sustainable couverture chocolate, paired with delicious house made fillings produced using fresh ingredients to create mouth watering flavour combinations.
We will provide you with a menu of our popular people pleasing flavours to choose from, but the sky is the limit, if you have a particular flavour in mind just say the word and we’ll make it so. Then, using your corporate colours we hand spray each and every bonbon with a glossy eye catching finish, meaning no two are the same and resulting in a truly unique product.
Packaging & Design
The mark of a fully bespoke product is customisation, a one of a kind interior deserves an exterior to match. Our in-house graphic design means we can produce packaging that matches the look and feel of your bonbons and elevate your corporate gift to the next level of professionalism. We will discuss any ideas you may have and bring them to life with a professionally designed box sleeve using your logo and corporate colour scheme.
Whether you’re hosting a conference, displaying at an exhibition, or simply wishing to show some appreciation to colleagues and clients, we can help. A great way to complete your promotional offering and maximise your gifts impact is to combine your bespoke chocolates with branded literature - this could be anything from a leaflet to a greetings card and more. All this can be created by us to accompany your sweet treat and complete a memorable gift representative of your business.
Fulfilment & Logistics
We can complete fulfilment in a number of different ways. Your gift boxes can either be sent directly to you, collected from us in person, or dispatched as individual parcels to your recipient/s.
If you have other items you wish to include in your parcels, these can be sent to us where we will coordinate the entire fulfilment for you.
Bespoke Wedding Favour Chocolates
Being a couple ourselves, we know what it’s like when you’re searching for something that both represents you individually, but also reflects you both as one, and whilst we may not be able to help you agree on how to decorate the living room, we can create beautiful edible creations that hold significance to you both, leaving you in perfect harmony and showing your guests just how much you appreciate them.
Our bonbons are house-made from start to finish, with hand tempered chocolate, luxurious fillings, and custom packaging all designed and produced by the two of us, so you can be sure that you will be receiving a product as unique to you as the big day itself.
So, let’s get started and see how we can add a little extra sweetness to your special day.
Flavours and Colours
A lot of effort goes in to ensuring your day is personal to you in every way - our wedding favours can help to compliment your style and continue the theme you have worked so hard to perfect.
Our chocolates are hand sprayed by Anna, using your chosen colours, with creative patterns and finishes that make each one unique. We would love for you to take a look at our Instagram page @thelittlehousedorset, where you will find examples of our previous designs which we hope will inspire you. We can then move forward and discuss how we can create a design that perfectly compliments your day.
Flavours are where you can personalise your chocolate bonbons to your individual tastes. You love coffee, they adore strawberry, no problem! We can produce up to two different chocolates where we take your favourite flavours and turn them into bonbon form, just tell us your preferences and we will create scrumptious fillings that say this is a bit of both of us.
Packaging
Once you have decided on your perfect chocolates, it is only fitting that they be presented perfectly too. With a large range of presentation options to choose from, there are many finishing touches available to ensure your chocolates look as good on the outside as they do on the inside.
Using your initials or words of your choice, we can produce a custom box sleeve to add a sophisticated finish to your luxury chocolates. Designed in house by our resident graphic designer, Dan, we will discuss with you colours, fonts and patterns so that we can best capture the style and feel of your day. You are welcome to send us any artwork you have used across your other wedding material and we will incorporate this into the design.
There are also several options for the boxes themselves, with different colours and finishing touches available.
