Hollywood stars came together at the Oscars recently.

But they knew little about the surprises in their gift bags.

The Oscar nominees - the best directors, best actors and so on - each found a special box of handmade chocolates in their bags.

The goodies were created by Fiona McArthur.

She owns and runs a vegan chocolate shop in Western Scotland.

When the Oscars organisers contacted her, McArthur was shocked.

As a tiny business, she first thought it wasn't real.

McArthur's company - FETCHA - makes chocolates for everyone.

Her chocolates are vegan, without soya, palm oil, gluten or alcohol.

The chocolates are wrapped in packaging which is free from plastic.

The chocolate maker's a film lover.

She's had a small part in many films herself.

She wanted to put film at the centre of these chocolates.

The box contains chocolates which have film themes.

For example, there's a pink one for Barbie, and a bomb-like one for Oppenheimer.

This year, Fiona McArthur's the Academy's next star chocolate maker, after Willy Wonka!
