The Chocolate Trading Company has been selling premium chocolate online since 2002, and it stocks the sort of brands most supermarkets never carry. Any current deals for the police community are listed in the offer boxes above, so check those before paying full price.
What is the Chocolate Trading Company?
It’s the UK’s largest independent online chocolate retailer. The range covers boxed chocolates, truffles, hampers, hot chocolate and baking supplies, with names like Valrhona, Michel Cluizel and Amedei sitting alongside more familiar options. There are vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free and nut-free selections too, which matters when you’re buying for a colleague and don’t know their situation.
They also do personalised gift boxes with a printed message, and those can go out on next-day delivery. Handy if a birthday has crept up on you mid shift pattern.
Is There a Police Discount at the Chocolate Trading Company?
There’s no permanent police-only scheme, so let’s be straight about that. What you get instead are the rotating deals listed at the top of this page, which have reached 20% off during past promotions. On top of those, anyone can join the retailer’s free members’ club for 5% off a first order, and the short-dated sale section shifts perfectly good chocolate close to its best-before date at heavy reductions.
Who Can Use These Offers?
Everyone in the police family. Serving officers, PCSOs, special constables, civilian staff and retired officers can all use the deals on this page. There’s no warrant card check or verification step because these are open codes rather than a closed scheme, so partners and family members can order too.
How Much Can You Save?
A decent truffle selection costs somewhere between £20 and £45. A 20% code against a £40 box puts £8 back in your pocket, and the 5% club discount knocks a couple of pounds off a first order without any effort.
The short-dated sale is where the biggest savings sit. Chocolate a few weeks from its best-before date tastes exactly as it should, and the reductions reflect the date rather than the quality. If you’re buying for yourself rather than gifting, start there.

Chocolate Gifts for Police Occasions
Chocolate covers the occasions that come round constantly in this job. A retirement after thirty years. A thank-you for the tutor constable who got you through your first year. A leaving gift for someone transferring to another force. A box of proper truffles lands better than another mug.
If a full hamper suits the occasion better, the Hampergifts police discount covers chocolate, food and wine hampers for bigger send-offs. And for a cheaper crowd-pleaser to carry into briefing, the Krispy Kreme police discount page covers how to save on doughnuts by the dozen.
Is It Worth It?
Depends what you’re buying for. This isn’t the place for an everyday bar; you’ll pay premium prices because it’s premium chocolate. Where it earns its keep is gifting. The presentation is strong, the brands carry weight, and the personalised boxes do the job when you want something that looks considered rather than grabbed from a garage forecourt.
For your own cupboard, the short-dated sale changes the sums entirely. Buying there regularly is how you eat Valrhona on a constable’s salary.
Tips to Keep Costs Down
- Join the free club before your first order rather than after it.
- Check the short-dated sale before browsing the full-price range.
- Bundle offers cut the per-item cost if you’re buying for several occasions at once.
- Order well ahead of Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter, because popular boxes sell through.
- A live deal at the top of this page always beats the standard price.
