Chocolatier, Koko Black, is welcoming the Year of the Horse this Lunar New Year with a collection that honours tradition and elevates gifting to an art form. It is available in stores and online until 17 February.

The Horse, celebrated for its energy, confidence, and free-spirited nature, inspires this year’s collection of decadent pralines and showstopping gift boxes. Designed to bring joy, prosperity, and connection, the range combines cultural heritage with modern craftsmanship.

Koko Black’s limited-edition Sichuan Pepper Praline returns, and the 48-piece Lunar Lantern (RRP $169) is back by popular demand, with its nine-layered tower of pralines, wrapped in gold foil and illuminated with a soft glow. The lantern transforms into a stunning decorative piece, perfect for lighting up Lunar celebrations.

Koko Black’s custom 8pc Lucky Lunar Praline box (RRP $36.90) and 25 pc Lunar Gift Box (RRP $81.90) are also returning. These gift boxes feature seasonal flavours such as luxurious Mandarin & Yuzu, Leatherwood Honey and Pina Colada.

Alongside all purchases for Lunar New Year products, a complimentary Red Envelope (Hóng Bāo) will be provided to Koko Black customers. Essential to the gifting tradition, the Hóng Bāo signifies good fortune for the year ahead.
