The back-to-school season brings a unique blend of excitement and nervousness, filled with new notebooks, sharpened pencils, and the joy of reuniting with friends. But what truly enhances those long days of learning is the comfort of treats, and for many Kiwis, Whittaker’s chocolate is a beloved companion during this time.
Established in 1896 and crafted in the small town of Porirua, Whittaker’s is more than just a chocolate brand; it has become an integral part of Kiwi culture. The anticipation of returning to school is made sweeter knowing that a Whittaker’s treat awaits.
The wide variety of options from Whittaker’s caters to all ages and tastes. Younger children often reach for the smooth, creamy milk chocolate, while older chocolate enthusiasts might gravitate toward the intense flavor of Dark Ghana. The popular Peanut Slab serves as a perfect, portable snack that easily fits into lunchboxes or backpacks.
What sets Whittaker’s apart is not only its delightful variety but also its commitment to quality. With a “bean to bar” philosophy, the chocolate is produced entirely in New Zealand, ensuring meticulous control over the chocolate-making process. This dedication translates into a rich, luxurious flavor that stands in stark contrast to many mass-produced alternatives.
As school days can often feel long and exhausting, both children and parents appreciate a little boost. A square of Whittaker’s chocolate during a study break or the satisfaction of a Peanut Slab after sports practice can provide a comforting solace, reminding us that sometimes, small treats can bring great joy.
Whittaker’s chocolate can be enjoyed in numerous creative ways beyond just eating it straight from the wrapper. For instance, melting a few squares into a warm glass of milk creates a delightful homemade hot chocolate. Alternatively, melted Whittaker’s can double as a luxurious fruit dip, or you can drizzle it over ice cream for a decadent dessert.
With its roots firmly planted in New Zealand and distributed in Fiji by the Motibhai Group, Whittaker’s continues to spread happiness through its quality products and the simple moments they enhance. As the new school year begins, having Whittaker’s by your side makes the journey a little sweeter.
