Academy of Chocolate Winners 2025 – Milk

About the box

It’s that time of year again… the results for the 2025 Academy of Chocolate Awards have been released, and a handful of our makers have scored big. We’ve put together this collection of milk chocolate bars that have won silver and bronze awards, so you can try them for yourself!

The box comes beautifully presented in a Cocoa Runners giftbox; the perfect gift for any chocolate lover.

This box contains:

Silver: Fjak – Brown Cheese, Haiti, Milk 45%

This is a round, creamy milk chocolate with a crunch of Norwegian goat cheese from Undredal Stølsysteri & Nordic salt from North Sea Salt Works.

Bronze: Bare Bones – Honduras, Milk 59% with Ethiopian Coffee

This is coffee and chocolate in perfect harmony. The lightly roasted filter coffee and 59% milk chocolate give rise to exquisite tasting notes of dates, fudge and cream.

Bronze: Heinde & Verre – Mellow & Wild Papua, Milk 55%

Heinde & Verre’s Mellow & Wild Papua Milk 55% chocolate bar combines creamy Dutch full-cream milk with wild cacao from West Papua, Indonesia. This fusion results in a harmonious blend of flavours, reminiscent of hot chocolate with hazelnuts and cream, complemented by notes of caramel, banana, liquorice, black tea, and subtle spices. ​

Bronze: Standout – Sambirano Valley, Madagascar, Dark Milk 60%

This 60% dark milk chocolate is a Gold Academy of Chocolate award winner, and is thick in texture, with a fruity complex flavour. It’s an incredibly interesting milk chocolate bar, with little bitterness and lots of creaminess. Fredrik has coaxed out the awesome fruity and citrus notes of the Madagascan cacao.
