Perhaps Scotland's best known chocolatier, Iain Burnett has had extensive training in the art of chocolatiering, studying at schools in Belgium, Switzerland and France and now is sharing this with the nation at his Highland Chocolatier store.

There is very little he doesn’t know about how to make a good chocolate – which includes his multiple award winning Velvet Truffle as well as internationally renowned range of fresh cream truffles and spiced pralines.

For Halloween, why not treat yourself to the Autumn Gems Selection?

Inside there's 20 chocolates with flavours such as Iain's award-winning Velvet Truffles and a 'textural tribute to the season' with crunchy Cocoa Nib Pralines and golden Sea Salted caramel-filled hearts.

Chocolatia was set up by Gleneagles chocolatier, Chloe Oswald, during lockdown last year after being furloughed from her job.

Initially she thought that they would be back at work full time in February and that she could enjoy the bumper chocolate selling periods of Christmas and Valentines and in her words, "hit the ground running."

Chloe has now created picture perfect Halloween chocolates, which you can view here.

She's also hinted at an advent calendar, so watch this space.
