Who does not like chocolate? The thought of rich, sweet, melt-in-your-mouth chocolate is hard to get out of your head once you get a craving.

And the best news now is that you can satisfy your chocolate craving without moving from your couch. Just pick up your phone and order online.

Homemade chocolates are the latest trend in Bangladesh and there are quite a few sellers online.

Many chocolatiers have their own Facebook pages offering a variety of homemade chocolates that come in different flavours and at pocket friendly prices.  

The best part of ordering from them is, you can customise your order, so it is almost like making your own chocolate!

You know exactly what goes into them and can add tasty additions such as your favourite chopped nuts, fruits, dry fruits, any other flavours or just mix and match everything in one bar; it is all up to you.

You can even adjust the sweetness and decorate the chocolates with edible quotes and texts of your own. Sounds like a 'dream come true' thing for chocolate lovers!

To make you drool over these delectable creations, The Business Standard selected five Facebook based chocolatiers who offer amazing homemade chocolates.

The variety of chocolates and truffles they offer are quiet impressive and  their quality and presentation are nothing to scoff at.

These chocolates do not last as long as commercial ones. They need to be refrigerated in a sealed container so that they can last about a week.

All these pages have absolutely great customer service and super fast shipping, not to mention unbelievably delicious chocolates!

Eat Simple

This page is run by a law student from Dhaka University, Tahia Tasneem Monwar. It is popular for their vividly coloured chocolate bars.

One cannot have a better experience of yummy handcrafted, customised chocolates than this page.

They are so good in their presentation that you will forget that the chocolates came straight from someone's kitchen and not a factory.

They offer chocolate truffles, bouquets, customised wrappers, and many more amazing creative things which just amazed us. They have a large variety of flavours as well.

Of the more common types include milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, mango, strawberry, coffee, dark coffee, butterscotch, and blueberry chocolate bars and the cost can range from TK 250 to 290.

Their mini truffles cost TK 25 per piece but you have to take at least 10 pieces.

Their most popular item, chocolate bars with customised edible texts, are one of the most beautiful things you would ever see and they cost TK 400. There are  special combo offers too.

As pretty as they look, some may find them too sweet but they look so wonderful that one must try them. Especially children would love the colourful treats.     

Sanjana's Sweet Spoon

This page is run by Sanjana Ansar. It has a wide range of  visually impressive chocolates. This page is mostly popular for their customisation options.

You can order your own chocolate bar by picking your favourite toppings, fillings and also mix different flavours. 

The page offers white, milk, dark, Oreo, orange, strawberry, dry fruit, and tuti-frutti flavours. Their mini chocolate truffles cost TK 30 per piece and regular chocolate bars cost TK 250 to 300.

The page also has some premium quality chocolate bars. Cloud Cocktail, Holiday Dream, Cookies and Cream, Campfire, and Sanjana's Sweet Spoon Special Chocolate bar is included in the premium quality list and each costs TK 350.

Not only these chocolates look striking, they taste beguilingly beautiful too. If you want to try something really new, the premium quality chocolate bars are a must. They are the perfect blend of beauty and taste.

Slushy Temptation

The page is run by Dr Anika Tahsin Mathin, who is working in a private organisation as a medical officer.

This page has a wide range of chocolates too, and the prices are kind to the pocket.

You will have fruit and nut, mosaic chocolate, dark marvelous, crunchy and nutty, coffee, peanut, Oreo, blackberry and raspberry flavour here.

The plain chocolate bars cost TK 120 to 150 and the customised chocolate bars cost TK 550. They have some  mini chocolate truffles too which are  cute and colourful. 

Crackel popper, emoji, marble, choco lava, and caramel melody are truffles which cost between TK 15 to 30 per piece.

The must try item from this page is choco lava and caramel melody. The hard shell of the chocolate will melt in your mouth and the soft caramel will mesmerise your taste buds.

Delighted NSS

This page is run by Nazneen Naz, Ummay Habiba Shibly and Saima Sraboni. You can chose from chocolate bars, wafers and truffles in milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate.

Though the packaging can be improved a little but that does not affect the taste at all.

The dark chocolate truffles with salted caramel in the centre are mind blowing. All the other chocolates are delicious, and one will definitely feel the homemade vibe in them. 

The chocolate bars come within TK 280 and the different shaped and flavoured truffles cost TK 20 to 25 per piece. 

Cook for Family

The page is run by a house wife turned entrepreneur, Jannatul Mawa. 

You get different types of chocolates here. Their quality is excellent and worth the price.

The chocolates are rich, creamy, and simply delicious. Not too sweet, not too dull, these taste almost perfect.
