At Bonbonbook, quality comes first. We want everyone to enjoy our chocolates, made with Valrhona chocolate and carefully selected ingredients. We also understand that food allergies and intolerances play an important role when choosing what to eat. That is why this page provides more information about the allergens in our chocolates, helping you make an informed choice about which flavours are right for you.
Halal
Almost all our chocolates are halal. There is one exception: the Espresso Martini chocolate, which contains alcohol and is therefore not halal. Would you like to make sure that you only receive halal chocolates? Just let us know! You can mention this in the order notes during checkout. We will then replace the chocolate containing alcohol with another delicious flavour, so you can enjoy our treats with peace of mind.
Vegetarian chocolates
Our chocolates are made with vegetarian ingredients. We do not use gelatine or meat products. However, ingredients such as milk, cream, butter, honey and eggs may be present, depending on the flavour.
What are allergens?
Allergens are substances in food that can trigger a reaction in people with an allergy. Common examples include milk, nuts, peanuts, gluten, soy and eggs. The severity of an allergic reaction varies from person to person, and even small amounts can cause a significant reaction.
Allergens in each chocolate
Below is an overview of our current collection. The listed allergens should always be checked against the current recipes and product specifications. The ingredients in chocolate, crunchy inclusions and composite fillings may vary depending on the supplier.

Important information
The overview above is intended as a helpful guide when choosing our chocolates. Final allergen information must always be based on the current recipes and information provided by our ingredient suppliers. If you are unsure, we recommend contacting us before placing your order.
We cannot guarantee that our chocolates are completely free from gluten, nuts, peanuts or other allergens. Our chocolates are made in the same production environment, so cross-contamination cannot be entirely ruled out.
Common allergens in our chocolates
Depending on the flavour and ingredients used, our chocolates may contain the following allergens:
- Milk: milk, cream, butter and milk ingredients from chocolate or fillings.
- Tree nuts: for example, hazelnuts, pecans and almonds in specific flavours or crunchy inclusions.
- Gluten: for example, in stroopwafels, speculoos, spritz biscuits and butter crumble.
- Soy: may be present in chocolate or ingredients such as miso. Check the product specifications of the chocolate used.
- Eggs: may be present in meringue and certain biscuits, crunchy inclusions or fillings.
- Peanuts: check the current ingredient information and be aware of possible cross-contamination in the production environment.
How do we handle cross-contamination?
We understand that even small amounts of an allergen can cause a serious reaction in people with a food allergy. That is why we believe in being transparent about our ingredients and production environment. As different chocolates are made in the same kitchen, we cannot guarantee the absence of traces of allergens.
What if you have a food allergy?
If you have a food allergy or a severe intolerance, please contact us before placing your order. We will be happy to review the available information about ingredients and potential allergens with you. However, we cannot guarantee that a chocolate is safe for someone with a specific allergy as long as cross-contamination cannot be entirely ruled out.
Enjoy with peace of mind
At Bonbonbook, we want everyone to be as well informed as possible when making a choice. If you have questions about the ingredients or allergens in our chocolates, please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to help.
