Why Spend With Us?

Chocolate On Purpose® is an Indigenous business creating artisan, handcrafted chocolate in Millthorpe, a heritage listed town on the Central Tablelands of NSW.

Our Bush Food Chocolate range combines the finest melt-in-the-mouth belgian chocolate with the very best Australian Native Fruit & Nuts, sourced from Indigenous communities all around Australia.

Sadly fires impacted my business, with no tourists around and lots of road closures there has been a huge drop in sales.

We’re looking forward to being in production again, so that we in turn can help Indigenous Farmers & Producers.
