Dr Bradbury has been working to achieve the impossible...an Elixir of Eternal Life! Inside Dr Bradbury's Compendium of Curiosities, you will find 12 failed experiments of his potions and tonics that didn't quite do the trick. But what's this? The Elixir of Life does exist! Hidden inside this book you will find the Elixir of Eternal life. Only the most studious and conscientious of patients can find it. As Dr Bradbury says, we wish you good health and good luck!

This 13 Days of Halloween contains 12 x 50g chocolate bars and 1 x 145g chocolate bar. Each chocolate bar has been especially developed for this book; each illustration has been hand-drawn by our graphic designer Lee, and this concept has been developed into the final product over the last 6 months. We are incredibly excited to bring it to life, so all of you can enjoy it!

Customer photo review of 13 Days of Halloween 'Dr Bradbury's Compendium of Curiosities'

I really admire all the energy and creativity that went into bringing this set to life! I loved reading the descriptions of each chocolate in the booklet, looking at each of the designs on the individual wrappers, noticing the small artsy details of the box itself, guessing what color each chocolate bar would be, discovering the elixir of eternal life bar by accident (because I’m nosy), and tasting all the fun interesting flavors. I could go on and on, but there was just so much to explore and discover and I felt so much joy experiencing it! My favorites have been the remedy for broken knowledge, temperance tonic, traveller’s tonic, pantry elixir, the eternal life bar, and essence of radiance. I still have a few more to try and look forward to them. Thank you to the Chocolate Smiths team for working so hard on such a great product! I’ve followed you since I was a senior in college and I’m 32 now, so it’s been so cool to see you grow. There was a time my whole family would roll their eyes when I’d mention your brand because I talked about it constantly and was even convinced I’d work with you someday! I wish you all continued success, health and happiness. And of course my sincerest condolences to Jason’s family, may he rest in peace ❤️‍🩹

I bought the Halloween box this year and it was amazing! Not just the chocolate, which was absolutely delicious, but all the attention the detail in the box and wrapping. It made for a beautiful present to myself! I loved it so much I didn’t hesitate to pre-order the advent calendar for Christmas!

We’re loving Dr. Bradbury’s 13 days of Halloween, we have one bar each time we watch one of our favorite Halloween classics. Between the time and care it clearly takes to make the bars, the artwork, and the packaging, it was well worth the price. Thank you for a scary good time!

Customer photo review of 13 Days of Halloween 'Dr Bradbury's Compendium of Curiosities'

The shipping process is abysmal, but my rating is based on the flavour and not the process it takes to get to me or the price: Crackle elixer: taste like a normal white chocolate bar and you get some popping noise in your mouths. Can barely taste anything but the white chocolate. Even cadebury marvellous creation taste better because it has jelly bean so the flavour isnt that one dimensional. 1/5 Orchard essence: pie crust taste great. The gel not so much 3/5 Botanical formula: rhubarb gel is quite sour, chocolate is way too sweet, the gel and the ganache taste great separate. But all together with the chocolate the flavour doesn’t mesh well 2.5/5 Traveler tonic: The first bar that surprised me with how good it tastes! The coffee offsets the richness of the chocolate and sesame. It is not too sweet, or more accurately, it is still sweet but the flavours are balanced well that i’m not just tasting sweetness. 5/5 Remedy for broken knowledge: i heavily disklike banana flavoured things, but the banana caramel in this is not offensive at all. It does taste a bit like banoffee. Chocolate is still too sweet though. 4/5 Essence of radiance: lime gel taste good until it doesnt. White chocolate is so sweet. Even though it is a sweet + sour combination, it just doesnt work for me. 0/5 Forager Formula: bite ive took doesnt have much cherries or raisins but plenty of biscuits. Taste like an upgraded malteaser not gonna lie. 4/5 Temperance Tonic: first bite into it, the texture is buttery and decadent, but then i don’t know if it is cause of the heat or what (I live in a hot climate) but it taste like when the cocoa butter separated from the chocolate and you get that oily after taste. 2.5/5 From the few I’ve eaten, they’re mainly just too sweet. For having a filling or added ins, most of the flavours are so one dimensional or to me, taste like a good concept but bad execution I don’t recommend if you are abroad and need international shipping

The Chocolate Smiths really outdid themselves with the Halloween selection box! The packaging is sensational, and each chocolate has such different flavours, they're all a delightful surprise. I haven't finished them yet but all the ones I've had so far were delicious.

I become more and more of a fan every single time I order but this collection has been so much fun! Especially the white chocolate with popping candy. You know your chocolate is good so I dont think I need to tell you that but the creativity of flavours and thematic continuity should also be praised thank you so much

I purchased Dr Bradbury’s Compendium of Curiosities for my daughter’s Boo Basket, and she absolutely loved it! The box was beautifully designed and fantastic quality, making it perfect for Halloween. The chocolate bars were just the right size, with an exceptional selection of flavours. The Chocolate Smiths never fail to impress, and once again, they’ve well and truly hit the mark.

LOVED this!! The mix of flavours was brilliant and the hidden bar was a really nice surprise. I really enjoyed the solid bars as something different from the normal type of bars. I think some of them should become standard ones. Especially the one with fruit and biscuits in. Overall such a great product and sad I only had one!

13 Days of Halloween 'Dr Bradbury's Compendium of Curiosities'

The packaging was so cute and all the flavors were so unique! The only bar that wasn’t finished was the lime one (the strong lime flavor didn’t seem to mesh well with the white chocolate for my friend and boyfriend who tried it), but all the other bars were so good! I’m not normally a fruit with chocolate lover, but even the fruity flavors were delicious to me which says ALOT! This was my second order ever and I was throughly impressed. Buying these chocolates is always a special treat for me.

Absolutely Amazing! My favourite bar was the remedy for broken knowledge. If I had any constructive criticism I’d say the bars with gel need more, one strip down the middle is hard to get in every bite.

I had to make 2 orders because of things selling out so quickly(I’m happy you guys are so popular!) could have just combined both my orders together and shipped them at the same time. The chocolate is going to be fantastic (we haven’t eaten any yet but looking forward to it) Thank you team for all that you do!

I loved the chocolate overall! However, the larger chocolate at the back of the book was my least favorite and didn’t seem as good compared to the smaller chocolates. I would have loved for one of the smaller chocolate flavors to have been used for the larger one instead.
