Chocolate dipping, coating and enrobing services in Australia
Contract chocolate dipping and enrobing for protein bars, protein balls, clusters, bites, and other snack formats across Australia.
General Foods provides contract chocolate coating and enrobing services from our Keilor facility in Melbourne. We apply chocolate to your product at scale, whether that is a full enrobe, a partial dip, or a drizzle finish across bars, balls, clusters, or bites.
We work with brand owners and product developers to match coating weight, chocolate type, and finish to your product brief. Dairy-free, vegan, and no-added-sugar chocolate options are available across all formats.
Full enrobing
Complete chocolate coverage applied via enrobing line. Consistent coat weight and finish across high-volume runs. Compatible with milk, dark, white, and compound chocolate.
Partial dipping
Half-dip or base-dip finish for bars, balls, and bites. A lighter coating option that keeps product visible and works well for premium and clean-label positioning.
Chocolate drizzle
Decorative drizzle applied over an uncoated or enrobed product. Adds visual appeal with minimal coating weight. Available in contrasting or matching chocolate colours.
Dairy-free and vegan coatings
Dairy-free and vegan-certified options available. No-added-sugar coatings also available for low-sugar and diabetic-friendly ranges.
From brief to shelf-ready product, we manage the whole process.
We work with brand owners and developers at every stage of product development. Whether you're starting a new range from scratch or scaling an existing line, our team handles formulation, production and packaging to get your product market-ready.
View CapabilitiesTell us about your product concept, target market and volume requirements. We'll assess feasibility, discuss format options and outline what's possible within your budget and timeline.
Our team develops recipes to your specification, covering ingredients, macros, flavour profile and dietary requirements. We produce samples for review and iterate until you're satisfied.
Once the formula is locked, we move into full production. Every batch is produced under SQF Level 3 conditions with full traceability and quality checks at every stage of the line.
Finished product is packed to your specification, whether that's retail-ready primary packaging or bulk formats for further processing. We coordinate dispatch directly to your warehouse or 3PL.
Compatible with all snack formats
Our enrobing lines handle a wide range of product formats. Protein bars, protein balls, clustered bars, rice crisp bites, and whole food snacks can all be chocolate coated or dipped at our Keilor facility.
We can work from your existing product or coat formats we manufacture in-house. Coating weight, tempering profile, and set conditions are all adjustable to suit your product requirements and shelf life targets.
Chocolate type, coating weight, and dietary certification requirements are confirmed at brief stage. We can provide nutritional panels reflecting the coated finished product and advise on FSANZ labelling for chocolate content claims.
