Celebrations Chokl8s
Delivering Happiness, JOY & Love

Why Celebrations Chocolates were started by me?
I am a self-confessed chocoholic. Over the years I experimented with many different varieties of chocolates, but was never satisfied with them. Being a food technologist I decided to make them myself, experimenting with all those variety ingredients which I wanted as a part of chocolates. The result is Celebrations Chokl8s.

Through Celebrations, I bring finest handcrafted chocolates made not just with passion, but also with lots of love and dedication. Since the year 2008, I have been delivering premium chocolates to choco lovers all over India. One unique aspect is that the hand-crafted, carefully chosen Blessing card that accompanies every Celebrations chocolate, nourishes your soul.

The story behind "RASA" Chocolates

“RASA” chocolates – the story
“Rasa” in telugu means juice or juicy or anything (semi) liquid and flowy. Yes, my mentor is telugu and hence the (naamkaran) “RASA”! Sounds intriguing. So, Rasa chocolates are prepared with outer shell of either dark or white compound chocolate and the “juice” inside can range from a cream filling to real fruit filling or even small pieces of real fruits, as the case may be. Or, it could be a combination of cream filling with fruit or nut pieces mixed. To make it as interesting and “surprising” (as some of my clients quote) as possible. Rasa chocolates are prepared with passion, perfection and precision. A lot goes into the manufacturing of Rasa than does into preparing simple or “nutty” chocolates. Rasa can be in either moulded or non-moulded form depending on customer requirement or mood of the manufacturer.
            “Filling”
            The fillings vary from cream base to real fruit base as mentioned. Choco-cream, choco-orange, coffee, coffee-crunch, almond-crunch, cashew-crunch, blueberry, orange, mocha-nuts, strawberry, neutral cream, coffee-cream, plain ganache, ganache nuts, coconut-cream, caramel, caramel nuts, ganache-berry, etc... As much as one if willing to experiment! But yes, these are associated with adjectives like “mouth watering”, “yummy”, “tempting”, “delicious”, “irresistible” and many more flattering describable words! A lot more can be experimented with these fillings’ stuff, which is the most happening thing in my kitchen. These “experiments” are totally crazy, but is driven by passion!
            Both the shell (compound chocolate) and the filling stuff is derived from vegetarian sources. The fillings may vary in flavour, mouth feel, texture, taste perception, aroma etc., but have a common base ingredient and have been specially developed for use in chocolates. This makes for the surprise element when enjoying these “Dil Khush” (happy heart) chocolates. The ingredient and moisture balance along with precision in manufacturing, takes care of the finished product such that it complements that of the compound chocolate coating.
Care
Care should be taken during hot & humid weather – store away in refrigerator, dry and cool conditions. Keep pests away. Keep away from any food that carries strong or stale odours. Rasa chocolate are indeed best enjoyed at room temperatures.
Some of the “surprise elements” of these chocolates could melt in your mouth instantly while some will stay put for a while, letting you enjoy your bite. So, one need not make any effort to “eat” it, simply bite it, sit back and enjoy. Let it control your senses and your reactions.
Psst: Rasa will surely melt away the anger of your loved one. Try it ;)


CELEBRATION CHOKL8S 

Delivering Happiness, JOY & Love

 Hand crafted Premium, Yummy chocolates; packaged and presented professionally for all occasions and 
reasons.

Celebration Chocolates, India brings you the finest handcrafted chocolates from a passionate chocolatier. Since the year 2008, we have been delivering premium chocolates to chocolates lovers. These chocolates are made not just with passion, but also love & passion. These value added chocolates combine fine values in the form of handcrafted, custom massages or blessings – facilitating you to communicate a personal touch – a powerful means to communicate your feelings and a positive energy to the recipient*

We rolled out plain chocolates from our confectionary, as the very first variant, and offered best dark chocolate, milk

chocolate and white chocolates. The chocolates have been created in standard shapes, sizes and designs. The plain

chocolates meant for customer with sweet tooth contains cocoa percentage in sub 20% region (between 16 – 18%.)

Courvertures - Pure dark chocolates – with 35% to 70% cocoa concentrations are also available for a specific

class of chocolate lovers. We understand that lovers of pure chocolates never settle for compounds and retain the

taste developed enjoying pure chocolates – even if in higher cocoa concentrations, in bitter to semi-bitter taste. We

have a niche clientele for couvertures. Courvertures are a favourite with corporate directors, CEOs, senior managers,

deans and a few domestic clients.

An exclusive form of sugar-free courverture chocolates is produced by our confectionary, again to address

specific clientele. Sugar-free as they are called are simply put – chocolates with no sugar and highest cocoa

concentrations. Approved by food technologists, high quality maltitol is used as the sweet replacer – the “non-nutritive

sweetener”. Maltitol is a certified, GRAS category sweetener procured from Singapore. We have developed these

exclusive chocolates keeping in mind the diabetic and the sugar delicate clients, unwilling to give up their love for

chocolates! While sugar free courvertures have been preferred to be plain, its variety with nuts and fillings are also

prepared on specific demand.

Nutty chocolates - a very popular and best selling product is offered in two versions; moulded and naturally

cast . The moulded ones have a predefined, uniform shape, size & design and are loaded with roasted, spiced quality

nuts in various forms (whole, chopped, powdered). These nuts are healthy, have a good nutritive value; and if studied

about its benefits, one will discover that nuts combined with dark chocolates are very good for health if consumed in

controlled portions. Nuts in almost all varieties are available and added on specific demand and liking of the customer

(cashew, almonds, pistachios, raisins, walnuts, coconut, dates, butterscotch nuts, hazelnuts & much more). We also

prepare (chocolate-cast) blends like, orange / mocha flavoured and spiced nuts; roasted-fat coated nuts, mocha-nuts

& more.

Dried-fruits based chocolates is another innovative variant offered by our confectionary. We blend the best of

chocolate and the naturally dried exotic or seasonal fruits (mango, apricot, blueberries, craisins, raspberries, cherries,

strawberries, pineapple, pineapple-coconut combo, fig, kiwi).

The naturally cast -nutty chocolates (or “non-moulded”) are essentially “chocolate wrapped nuts”. These are “tiny rocks”

of assorted sizes and are popularly nicknamed as “chocolate-rocks” or “chocolate-nut clusters”. The choco-rocks are

delivered in pouches and paper cups for simplicity of consumption as snacks. As an interesting variant of choco- rocks also we have “mocha-nuts” or “coffee-nuts”. We offer all variety of coating for choco-rocks (dark, milk & white

chocolate). “Rocks” are dearly demanded by chocolate lovers interested in exploring new flavours and tastes and

those who love their nuts in blends of chocolates. Yes, the “nutty” people!! [our proprietor loves, the orange flavoured

dark chocolate almond rocks , white pista-rocks and mocha-nuts]. The tiny tots are the biggest fans of “crazy-nuts”

and allied range of chocolates, as they find them really yummy!! The “date-surprise” is the latest addition in this

series. At Celebrations, we understand the likes and taste of our clients and mould our chocolates accordingly, simply

because it is a lot more fun!!

 “RASA” is a notable variety of chocolates offered by us; Rasa a Sanskrit word meaning “extract” or

“concentrate” has inspired us to create this range of exclusive chocolates. These soft-filled chocolates were

manufactured and introduced recently and since then, we have observed an unparalleled popularity and demand for

these chocolates. Rasa is best cast in dark chocolate or white chocolate shell. Natural fruit concentrates, cream

based fruity flavoured concentrates, concentrated fruit pulps, cream-chocolate batter are some “rasa” that goes into

the “Rasa” chocolates. Blueberry, orange, ganache, coffee, coffee-crunch, almond cream cashew cream, almond-
crunch, strawberry, hazelnut-cream, caramel and mixes like blueberries-ganache, caramel-nuts are manufactured in

our confectionery-kitchen. RASAs are loved by our premium and corporate clients alike.

Those who wish to express their love, ask for our “sweetheart” chocolates – ie RASA chocolate, designed like a heart

- filled with soft sweet surprises inside. As the chocolate melts in the mouth, the anger melts away in the heart! The

“sweetheart” scheme allows you to pick (apart from the heart-chocy) a paper cut out of a heart with a personalized

message for the loved recipient.

finest quality. The soft- fillings are of the best quality available across the globe. There is constant improvisation and

It transfers from the mind of the maker to the mind of the recipient- Chocolates being the medium! A very significant

part of chocolate making is maintenance of hygiene at every step of processing! Hygiene and passion are important

ingredients.
