BROTHERS Chris and Gareth East may have just the thing for chocoholics who have diabetes.
Two years ago, they set up the Chocolate Factory at Thornton Dale and expanded into nearby Hutton-le-Hole the following year.
After inquieries from customers, they have gone a step further and set up a website specialising in chocolate for diabetics.
Chris and Gareth, 28 and 31, found that people were coming into their shops and asking for sugar-free chocolate suitable for diabetics.
"We started to make a few chocolates of different flavours and they really took off, " said Chris.
"So after a couple of months of development, we have just launched a website.
"People can use the chocolate selector and make up their own boxes of different flavours of diabetic chocolate, handmade in Ryedale."
The website can be found at www.diabetic-chocolate.co.uk.
