Dormouse Chocolates is an independent bean-to-bar chocolate maker based in Manchester, founded in 2014 by Isobel Carse. The brand is known for its small-batch, handcrafted chocolates, complete transparency in sourcing, and strong ethical commitment to cacao growers.

Their range includes dark, milk, and white chocolates, often labeled as single origin or single estate, with the region and cacao percentage clearly indicated. Dormouse pays particular attention to experimental flavor combinations - from classic varieties to collaborations with tea brands such as Cha-ology, blending cacao with matcha or houjicha tea.

Their studio at Deansgate Mews in Manchester serves as both a workshop and a tasting space, allowing visitors to experience the chocolate-making process firsthand. Today, Dormouse Chocolates is recognized as a pioneer of the British bean-to-bar movement and a model of authentic artisanal craftsmanship in the contemporary chocolate industry.
