Honest Ingredients

I was in chemotherapy for breast cancer when everything changed — not just in my body, but in my relationship with food. My system was wiped out, and it had no room left for anything artificial. No refined sugar. No alcohol. No mysterious “natural” sweeteners that made me return it to the shelf after reading the label.

All my body would accept was real food. Whole food. And when I went looking for a sweet treat that didn’t feel like posing a threat, I came up empty.

So, I began making my own.

What started in my kitchen became No Sugar Shop — a place for small-batch, handcrafted chocolate made from just a few honest ingredients, and zero compromise. There’s no refined sugar, no dairy, no gluten, and no ingredients pretending to be natural when they’re not (I’m looking at you sweeteners).

One of the most meaningful parts of my journey has been rethinking what indulgence actually looks like. Not something over-processed — but something rich you can enjoy fully, without the crash, the bloat, or the label anxiety.

First, there’s my Classic Dark Chocolate — made with just five ingredients I know and love: organic cacao butter, cacao powder, and organic coconut palm blossom sugar that I blend into a fine powder myself. It’s smooth, rich, and full of depth — better than your usual fave, and free from all the usual baggage.

And then there’s a new favourite: the Fruit & Nut, made with chewy dried mulberries, roasted salted peanuts, and finished with a touch of edible gold. It’s a grown-up take on a nostalgic classic, with nothing extra and everything delicious.
