The new Pinky Bow Treats box is Catherine’s Originals’ first luxury chocolate gifting collection, featuring 15 handcrafted vegan chocolates including peanut butter cups, caramels, creamy centres and a Baby O’bar
Independent vegan chocolate brand Catherine’s Originals has expanded its range with a new luxury vegan chocolate box designed for gifting, or keeping all to yourself!
Called Pinky Bow Treats, the new cloud-shaped box contains 15 handcrafted chocolates, ranging from peanut butter cups and soft caramels to fruity creams and an exclusive miniature version of the brand’s popular O’bar.
It marks the first time Catherine’s Originals has created a chocolate collection specifically with luxury gifting in mind, with the brand suggesting it as an alternative to turning up to a dinner party with the customary bottle of wine.
Despite the more grown-up gifting credentials, there’s still plenty of the playful personality Catherine’s Originals has become known for, right down to the name.
‘Pinky’ was founder Catherine Dodd’s childhood nickname, while ‘Bow Treats’ reflects the idea of presenting someone with a special box of treats wrapped up like a gift.
What’s inside Catherine’s Originals Pinky Bow Treats?
The new selection contains five different vegan chocolates, including some flavours requested by the brand’s community of ‘Choco Lovers’.
Each £16.95 box contains six Peanut Butter Cups, made with creamy peanut butter encased in vegan milk chocolate, alongside two white chocolate Mango Creams and two Chewy Cherry chocolates with sour cherry centres.
There are also four Caramel Ganache chocolates, combining silky chocolate ganache with a soft caramel, and one Hney, Hney, H*ney Baby O’bar.
The latter offers chocolate fans the chance to try a miniature version of one of Catherine’s Originals’ O’bars, which combines its signature vegan milk chocolate with almond pieces and vegan honeycomb.
All 15 chocolates are vegan and gluten-free, and the collection is made without palm oil. The chocolates are handcrafted in small batches at Catherine’s Originals’ West Sussex factory using sustainably sourced cocoa, while the box comes in plastic-free packaging.

From homemade chocolates to award-winning vegan brand
Pinky Bow Treats is the latest launch from a business that began with founder Catherine Dodd’s frustration at the vegan chocolate options available to her.
Catherine became vegan aged 12 and, after years of feeling left out of the excitement of traditional chocolate selection boxes, decided at just 18 to create her own.
“I wanted to create the kind of chocolate that would make people close their eyes in bliss,” Catherine previously told Vegan Food & Living. “The kind of chocolate you can unwrap with excitement, no matter the occasion.
“And I wanted everyone to be able to enjoy it, not just vegans.”
Catherine’s Originals officially launched in 2021, with Catherine initially developing recipes and handcrafting chocolates from her kitchen. By the end of that year, she had created her first vegan Selection Box, selling 650 boxes in just three days.
Since then, the independent brand has moved into its own West Sussex chocolate factory and expanded its range beyond the original Selection Box, with launches including its chunky O’bars, Baby O’bars and seasonal chocolate collections.
The brand’s success has also earned it recognition at the Arun District Business Awards, where it picked up three accolades: New Business of the Year, Green Business of the Year and Entrepreneur of the Year for Catherine.
Pinky Bow Treats is available now from the Catherine’s Originals website.
