    Can anybody recommend a maker of real handmade chocolates, preferably in the West ?
    So I'm not talking Lily O'Brien's etc which are mass producers. I'm looking for a lovely small scale craft producer, whose chocs are gorgeous and which are nicely packaged and presented. Thanks.

    I know it's not the west but there's a woman in Waterford that makes lovely handmade chocolates, I've sampled some of her chocolates and they're divine. She goes to some of the local markets and the packaging is nice. I think her trade name is Theodora's or something like that. I'll check the newspaper for her correct name as I know she's attending the Dungarvan Food Festival this weekend.

    lol, if only sure we can live in hope even though I'm a Galway woman that's been led astray by a deiseman.

    I'll have a look and see if I can get this woman's details for you but it might be later today before I get back on here.

    Thanks for the help - that's plenty of choice from the other site.
    Not sure if I want to call you lovely jovly, doodles or Colette, just in case my wife sees this ...
    Regards.

    I found gorgeous handmade chocs in Leitrim.
    They're from Cannaboe Confectionery in Ballinamore and they're tasty.
    They have a website cacamilis.com.
    Thanks to everyone who helped out.
