Grips
Living with a perfectionist chocolatier has many challenges but it also creates lots of opportunities for innovation!
The currently available design aims to solve a problem faced by many chocolatiers:
“How can I hold these moulds while I work with them!”
Answer: Grips
These plastic grips are designed to permanently glue into the supporting ribs of a chocolate bonbon mould, providing a small ridge for your finger to grip onto, sigificantly reducing hand fatigue and the chance of dropping the mould!
There are now two types of grips available to discerning chocolatiers, with priority given to members of the Instagram: chocychatcrew set up by Chef James :
1. Original Series, for Bonbons
These grips are available in packs of 30 for $11.73 including Tax and Shipping for customers in the USA. Price for other countries is available on request, with shipping charged at cost.
Grips are available in 5 sizes. The ‘Original - M’ have been proven on: Chef Jungstedt #1, Chocolate World 2373, 2295, 2116 and 2372, Implast 539 and should fit similar moulds.

2. NEW for 2025 - Custom grips designed for Martellato MA1920 Snacking Bars
These moulds have proven to be extremely popular, but they are also very difficult to keep hold of! As a result, following a request from a customer, I created a bespoke design for the MA1920. These grips are more complex to manufacture and ship and are available in packs of 20 for $25.76 including tax + shipping at cost, globally.

Grips have been shipped to 8 countries so far:
