Her expertise ensures that every chocolate that leaves her kitchen is Matise level a work of art. For a while, these delectable delights were only available to those fortunate enough to collect them in Monaghan. But now, Tara Gartlan Chocolate has expanded its reach, offering nationwide delivery for just €5.50.

Taras chocolates come in tantalizing assortments, including her signature flavours – 5 Salted Caramel Bonbons and 5 Passionfruit Bonbons. These two delights are the perfect blend of contrasting flavours, featuring salty caramel and zesty passionfruit, all encased in the embrace of luxurious Valrhona Milk Chocolate.

With over a decade of experience in professional kitchens, including renowned Michelin-starred restaurants, Tara has a deep-rooted commitment to delivering exceptional chocolate experiences. What sets her creations apart? Tara Gartlan Chocolate is a labour of love, carefully crafted for those with coeliac dietary requirements. But just as tasty for all of us who can also process gluten.

Quality is at the heart of Tara Gartlan’s creations. She sources ethically produced Valrhona Chocolate, Irish Butter, and Sea Salt, with a commitment to using locally grown ingredients whenever possible.
