We are celebrating our 21st Anniversary! Handcrafted chocolate treats for all the family, all made on-site in our chocolate factory.

This Easter we’ve put together a MEGA collection of goodies which are unique to Chocolate Grove and includes our massive 3kg Milk Chocolate EGG!

You can win one of these by entering our EGG_TASTIC raffle when you spend over $20 in our chocolate shop.

Plus look out for our amazing instore displays!

Will Muddyman, Managing Director and owner of Chocolate Grove, says:
“We are delighted to have reached this important milestone. And Easter is our absolute favourite time of year. Our unique range of Easter treats includes a cute Koala, our eggcentrics range (milk chocolate eggs with infusions such as honeycomb and peppermint crisp), Perry the Penguin and our special ‘flatz’ egg range with 100s and 1000s toppings and more. There’s bunnies in varying sizes and gorgeous gift hampers that have to be seen to be believed”.

Of course, we cover all the classic chocolate treats too with combinations such as chocolate goji berries, liquorice and honeycomb. And let’s not forget our Macadamias, always a standout, coated in milk, white or dark.

Will Muddyman on 21 years of Chocolate Grove

Since taking over 21 years ago the business has had to change considerably as we started out with a very limited range of chocolate-coated macadamias.

Acting quickly we introduced a new range of products. Our driving force being to surprise customers and move away from the safe and rather mundane mass-produced products seen on most supermarket shelves.

We can control all processes involved in making our products and use locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. Have you tried milk chocolate-covered salt and vinegar crisps, mango spears in dark chocolate or solid milk chocolate donuts? It’s mind-blowing!

Our Mantra
Throughout the years we’ve always strived to offer customers great quality products at reasonable prices – this is something we believe has been key to our success and we will strive to maintain as Chocolate Grove grows even further. In the current climate, we have also made a point of not raising prices as we are well aware of the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Visitors are also welcome to celebrate Australian Chocolate and Confectionery past, in the Living History Centre. Will, who is also known as the Willy Wonka of the South East, says it was his love of jazz that inspired him to document the history of Australia's confectionery manufacturers. Who could forget the Violet Crumble, Polly Waffle, Jaffas and Choo Choo bars?

Tourist Attraction
In Ballina you’ll find the Big Prawn, on the Sunshine Coast, The Big Pineapple, and now in Carrum Downs you’ll find The BIG Chocolate Bar! Will had always wanted to create a BIG Chocolate Bar for the front of the chocolate shop, so he commissioned a local blacksmith who perfectly captured his vision. And now here it is in all of its chocolatey, colourful goodness. The kids love it!

Chocolate Grove is situated just off the Mornington Peninsula Freeway on the Dandenong Valley Highway turn-off in Carrum Downs (and only a 10mins drive from Frankston)
