A master’s student has created a 100% British chocolate bar made entirely from ingredients grown in the UK, described as the first of its kind since 1932. Maha Khan says she developed the bar by harvesting and processing cocoa grown in Reading.
BBC News and The Mirror both report that the bar is only one of a very small number made so far, with sources noting that it is only the second such bar ever produced. The outlets also frame the work as a practical challenge involving growing, processing, and turning UK-grown cocoa into a finished product. The Mirror focuses more on Khan’s approach and motivation, while BBC News emphasizes the origin of the cocoa and that the result is the first 100% British chocolate bar in decades. Both accounts underline the rarity of the production so far, rather than suggesting large-scale commercial availability.
