Australian chocolatier, Koko Black, is bringing back its Mooncake Collection for 2025’s Mid-Autumn Festival – a treat which was well received last year, inspired by the beauty of the full moon and the spirit of togetherness.

Koko Black’s mooncake collection comes in four distinctive flavours, each designed to enhance the festival celebrations:

  • Mango Five Spice: Creamy milk chocolate ganache infused with Chinese 5 spice, combined with a mango jelly yolk, encased in 54 per cent dark chocolate.
  • Matcha Red Bean: Savoury red bean ganache with a matcha shortbread biscuit, encased in a matcha white chocolate.
  • Crispy Almond Caramel: Velvety vanilla caramel with a crunchy almond praline layer, encased in milk chocolate.
  • Cherry Pistachio: Sour cherry jelly with a crunchy pistachio praline encased in caramelised white chocolate.

Rooted in centuries of Chinese heritage, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a time to reconnect with loved ones, share stories under the moonlight, and indulge in symbolic treats.

The company stated it honours this cultural moment with a limited-edition range of handcrafted mooncakes, each one a tribute to flavour, craftsmanship, and the joy of gathering.

“Koko Black’s mooncakes are more than just a treat – they’re a celebration of unity, prosperity, and the joy of sharing,” the company shared.

“With a perfect balance of traditional inspiration and contemporary flair, this collection is a testament to Koko Black’s passion for creating unforgettable chocolate experiences.”

Koko Black’s reinvented mooncakes will be available from 8 September until the Mid-Autumn Festival on 6 October, for RRP $109.90 in an eight-piece gift box, $59.90 in a four-piece, or $12.90 individually.
