Our journey began in 2020, born from a simple passion for creating exquisite, handcrafted confections. Founded by award-winning pastry chef Gráinne Mullins in Kilchreest, County Galway, Grá Chocolates emerged during the quiet stillness of lockdown.

“It all started in my family’s shed. With travel plans on hold, I began making handmade Easter eggs to bring a little cheer to friends and family. I shared them online, and the incredible response gave me the hope to turn this passion project into something more. I never imagined it would become the brand it is today.”

At Grá Chocolates, we believe in creating more than just chocolate; we are crafting unique experiences and lasting memories. Our process begins with the finest ingredients the world has to offer: ethically sourced B Corp Valrhona Chocolate, the world’s best dairy local Irish cream and butter, Achill Island Sea Salt, Leahy’s Honey and many other local suppliers. Created in small, dedicated batches, each individual chocolate is a labour of love, taking three days to perfect.

The heart and soul of our brand is this constant innovation and an unwavering passion for quality. For two years, we grew within that shed, expanding our team and our vision. The demand for our creations eventually led us to a new home in a dedicated unit in Galway City. From a single product offering, we have proudly grown into a small business with over 50 distinct product lines, shipping our handcrafted chocolates worldwide. Now, we are embarking on our next great adventure: building our very own pink chocolate factory. As a business that started online, we rarely get to meet our customers face to face. Our new home will change that. We hope to create a destination in the West of Ireland that will not only stimulate the local economy but will bring joy to people of all ages. This state of the art facility will include a visitor centre and shop, inviting you to come behind the scenes and share in our “Grá” for high quality Irish produce.

Our journey isn’t just about chocolate anymore. It’s about building a community and a destination. We can’t wait to welcome you.
