Christmas is all about tradition, making memories and creating magic. This year we decided to take all of those elements and create a whimsical fantasy world and a host of loveable chocolate characters to showcase our festive product range. You can recreate Ned’s fantastical friends and Enchanted Forest setting with our collection of Chocolate World moulds.

But, what about packaging? We hear you cry. Fear not, we’ve matched our new moulds with an abundance of bags, boxes and accessories to help you make this Christmas your most magically simple and stylish yet!

Why You Don’t Need to Break the Mould this December

Chocolatiering is a combination of creativity, passion and skill, and when a new product arrives at Keylink we’re the first to dive into the development kitchen and experiment. But when you’re developing your range of Christmas products this year, why not keep things simple and create a collection of enchanting hollow figures?

Not only will you save time and money on creating numerous recipes with a variety of ingredients and copious amounts of chocolate, but by simply shelling your figure moulds with your preferred couverture you’ll reduce your chocolate usage at a time when cocoa is one of the most expensive commodities money can buy.

You could even swap your couverture for compound coating, for a bold chocolate taste at a much lower cost!

A Matching Set

The centrepiece of our Christmas story is Ned, and you can design your own using the brand new Nutcracker mould. We recommend packaging him in pairs in our 6 Choc Folding Trays in a 12 Choc or 18 Choc box beside your festive bonbon range. Add the finishing touch with a Nutcracker satin ribbon.

If you’re making your own gingerbread men with our magnetic Gingerbread Man mould, fill them with sweetly spiced ganache, and pop them in a 6 Choc rigid box or our Evergreen bags for a traditional yuletide treat. You can even decorate them with our Cozy Christmas Transfer Sheets!

For the new, large Christmas Tree tablet mould (big brother to our very popular, slightly smaller Tree tablet), you can choose to wrap it in a clear polypropylene bag or Natureflex biodegradable bag, or pop it in a resealable kraft pouch!

If you’ve fallen for our new range of enchanting bonbon moulds, the packaging possibilities are endless. We think the Pine cone pralines would look fantastic in a rigid board box with a clear lid, or popped into a Silent Night clear bag. And the Mushrooms would be charming in a Buffer Box or our Deck the Halls clear bags, whether you decorate them as red and white toadstools or nostalgic coconut mushroom sweets.

Packaged with Love

Our packaging products aren’t just perfect for displaying your stunning chocolate creations, they’re also kind to the environment. Looking for recyclable, compostable, biodegradable or plastic free packaging for your business? Have a browse through our full range of sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging to find your perfect match.

And for that extra special touch of magic, have your boxes and clear cartons hot foil blocked with your business name, logo or a seasonal message.

Finish it off with a personalised ribbon, or choose from our array of festive festoonery, including Christmas ribbons and pull-bows, colourful aluminium foil, recyclable hamper trays and pre-tied bows and cords.

A hollow chocolate Santa or Reindeer is a staple of the festive season, and with our brand new Nutcracker mould you can even create your very own version of Ned! Simply match your choice of figure mould to its perfect packaging, and your Christmas range will be sitting pretty.
