Pic’s Peanut Butter has teamed up with New Zealand chocolatiers Whittaker’s to launch its Peanut & Chocolate Butter to Australian stores.

“Peanuts and chocolate have always gone well together, and the team have done a marvellous job of turning them into something I know lots of customers will find irresistible,” said Pic’s founder Pic Picot.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing this Pic’s Peanut & Chocolate Butter to Australians, as it’s been going nuts in New Zealand since its launch in late January.”

The Peanut & Chocolate Butter combines Pic’s crunchy peanuts with Whittaker’s Creamy Milk & Dark Ghana Chocolate 72 per cent, with a pinch of salt.

The 290g jar is now available in all Coles stores, and in Woolworths & independent stores from the end of May nationwide for RRP $9.00.
