Heist is a tiny independent chocolate maker based in Cardiff, Wales which specialises in micro-batches of stone ground chocolate using single origin, organic, cocoa beans. Each batch of beans is turned into lovely chocolate bars in a small factory in the centre of the city. Every bar of chocolate you buy from Heist has been sorted, roasted, cracked, winnowed, ground, tempered, wrapped, stamped and stitched by Heists one-man team, Mikey - who’s chocolate making experiments started in 2016*, playing with ingredients in the shed of his house share. Having always had an interest in graphic design, he spent many nights mocking up packaging for the bars he had made - all for fun and with no intention of ever starting a chocolate company. Months passed, equipment grew and his new found hobby slowly became a passion. Fast forward a couple of years and here he is….
We originally stocked Heist back in 2017 and we have been anxious to get Mikey's chocolate back in now we have more space!
Some label designs may vary from image shown.
*Actually started when he was 7 as he was taken to the doctors for chocolate addiction.

The flagship. If you want to taste the bright and zesty Madagascan beans and nothing else... This is the one.

The path is intense for sure but take it slowly and earthy notes with whisky, cream and vanilla will tag along for the journey.
These are all things I definitely taste when I eat this bar. Don’t blame me if your palette isn’t as sophisticated as mine!

Cereal Milk Bar 35%
The best bit of every brekles is the sweet, milky goodness that is left over after a hunking bowl of 5 times the recommended serving size of delicious cereal (No one eats 30g of cereal, MATE).
Soooo, what we’ve done is distill and solidify that slurpy goodness into this chocolate bar.
White chocolate BUT, ground together with toasted cornos so you get that sweet, malty, milky taste that’s been a staple of every kids Saturday since ages ago.
