The Chocolate Soup Scoop

6 Awesome Local Makers

When you build your employee recognition program with Chocolate Soup, you’re doing more than supporting your team – you’re supporting small, local businesses across Canada too! We’ve put together a list of some of our favourites.

Meet The Maker: Esta Chocolates

One of the best parts about our work at Chocolate Soup is finding unique products from small, locally-owned businesses and makers to include in your gift boxes. We’ve been lucky to meet Brian from Gift-a-Green in Vancouver and Charlene from gourmet popcorn maker Eatable in Toronto — but it’s great to connect with local makers even closer to home.
