Maple Mollys

Maple Mollys: personalised Belgian chocolate gifts and event favours

Maple Mollys is a family-run chocolate business established in 2008. According to its own account, the company began in the world of cakes before turning to chocolate making, first from a home kitchen and later through a high-street shop that operated for four years. The online side of the business grew to outweigh the shop, and the company eventually moved into its own dedicated unit, from which it sends chocolates directly to customers across the UK.

The catalogue centres on personalised chocolates, favours and gifts for occasions, made with Belgian chocolate. The company states that it sources quality ingredients and aims to create products that look as good as they taste, and that it seeks to apply ethical business practices wherever possible.

Product range on the online catalogue

The shop is organised around gifting and seasonal themes rather than a single product line. At the time of writing, the catalogue groups items into gifts and treats, Christmas, Halloween, salted sourdough pretzels coated in Belgian chocolate in a choice of flavours, and seasonal mystery boxes.

• Personalised lollipops, including a Vintage Christmas Santa Lollipop and a Vintage Christmas Elf Lollipop, listed at £3.95 each.
• Christmas Chocolate Mini Cakes, listed at £1.25.
• A Merry Krampus Chocolate Lollipop, listed at £3.50.
• Salted sourdough pretzels coated in Belgian chocolate.
• Seasonal mystery boxes.

Customer comments published on the site refer to mouse head chocolate lollipops used for a birthday party with a personalised label, wedding fortune cookies and an Easter stuffed chocolate egg. These are individual accounts rather than a general description of the range.

Weddings, parties and bespoke favours

Maple Mollys presents its favours as versatile and adaptable to a client's needs, stating that items can be adjusted to match a chosen theme and colour scheme. The company also describes having catered events and worked with well-known companies and brands over the years, and reports having supplied two London stores.

Corporate orders and wholesale

For corporate events, the business offers a range of designs and styles and says it can apply unique branding on both swing and sticky labels, with quantity discounts. It also invites enquiries about supplying its products wholesale for resale, with quantity discounts available for corporate or large events. The company states that full ingredients, nutritional values and allergy details are applied to all products.

Orders and lead times

The site indicated a current lead time of 3-5 working days at the time of writing, and invited customers with concerns about an event date to get in touch. This is a stated production and dispatch timeframe rather than a guaranteed delivery date.

Where the business is based

The company's own pages give two different locations: one describes it as based in Leicester, UK, while another places it in Essex, UK. Both statements appear in the material available and are not reconciled there.
