New Zealand chocolate company, Whittaker’s, has introduced its latest flavoured block to the permanent range in Australia – Mango & Coconut.

Inspired by the popular mango sticky rice dessert, this blend features Whittaker’s caramelised white chocolate, chewy mango fruit pieces, and toasted coconut.

Whittaker’s Mango & Coconut Block is crafted from beans-to-bar at the company's factory in Porirua, New Zealand, and is
Rainforest Alliance certified. The chocolate is made using 100% traceable Ghanaian Cocoa beans and is palm oil-free, aligning with Whittaker’s commitment to sustainable sourcing.

Whittaker’s chief marketing officer, Soraya Cottin, said the company was always eager to introduce new and distinctive flavours to chocolate lovers.

“Our Mango & Coconut creation is so irresistibly delicious that we believe it deserves a permanent place in our 250g block range right from the start," said Cottin.

“We look forward to hearing feedback from our Chocolate Lovers and hope they savour this taste of the tropics, whether as summer winds down or whenever they desire a luxurious treat.”

The new Mango & Coconut Block is available in Coles and Woolworths supermarkets nationally for RRP $8.00 for a 250g block.
