About us
Jenkins’ Emporium was founded by Jeremy Jenkins and his wife, Laurette, with a simple belief: chocolate should be fun, delicious, and a little bit magical—but also ethical and sustainable. We started small, but with big dreams of crafting handcrafted treats that people would genuinely crave.
How It All Started
We’ve always had a soft spot for sweets, especially chocolate. After years of Jeremy experimenting in the kitchen, we decided to take the plunge and start a chocolate company right here in Kingston Upon Thames. Jeremy is the mastermind behind the chocolate-making, while Laurette handles packaging and admin with expert care. Fast forward to today, and we’ve grown into a team of chocolate fanatics bringing you everything from classic milk chocolate bars to inventive creations like our Banoffee Bonbons.
Our Chocolate
Every single one of our chocolates is handcrafted in small batches because we believe that great chocolate can’t be rushed. We use only the finest ingredients—think ethically sourced cocoa and natural flavourings—to ensure every bite is as amazing as the last. There’s always something exciting (and delicious) happening in our kitchen.
Sustainability Matters
For us, making chocolate isn’t just about flavour; it’s about doing good too. That’s why we’re committed to using 100% sustainable cocoa. Delicious chocolate with a conscience? Yes, please!
The Journey
What started as a fun experiment has blossomed into a growing small business. Yet, we’re proud to say that we’ve stayed true to our roots—keeping things local, making everything by hand, and always focusing on quality. As we continue to grow, we promise to keep creating chocolates that bring smiles to faces. Trust us, we’ve got plenty more exciting flavours and ideas up our sleeves!
What’s Next?
We’re always dreaming up new chocolatey creations and love collaborating with other local makers (more announcements coming soon!). Follow us as we continue to whip up delicious treats that you won’t want to miss!
