Lily O’Brien’s

Lily O’Brien’s is an Irish chocolate maker based at IDA Business Park, Green Road, Newbridge, Co. Kildare. The company was founded in 1992 by Mary Ann O’Brien. After recovering from a serious illness in the early 1990s, Mary Ann found her passion for chocolate and trained with chefs and chocolatiers in South Africa and Europe, before starting her own small business from her kitchen in Kildare. More than thirty years later, the chocolates are still made in Newbridge, at a site certified to BRC Grade A+, the top grade under the BRCGS food safety standard.

The range is built around chocolate collections and gifting. Customers can choose from boxed chocolate collections, chocolate truffles, the Desserts Collections inspired by favourite puddings, Petit Collections, the Ultimate Chocolate Collection, individually wrapped chocolates and share bags and pouches. Flavours run from milk and dark chocolate to toffee and caramel, fruity, crunchy, nutty and mint. There are also baking products, photo boxes and special offers across several price points.

Gifting sits at the heart of what Lily O’Brien’s does. The website groups gifts by occasion, including Christmas gifts, birthday gifts, thank-you gifts, get well soon gifts and corporate gifts, and by recipient, with gifts for her, for him, for couples, for mums, for fathers and for grandparents. Chocolate hampers are a dedicated range, and wedding favours have their own section for couples planning a celebration.

Christmas is the busiest season of the year. The Christmas gifts range brings together boxed collections, hampers and chocolate advent calendars, including the advent calendar house. Business customers can order chocolate gifts for staff and clients through the corporate gifts range.
