Fruit and chocolate is always a dreamy combination, don’t you think? Covered in a thin layer of milk chocolate, these chewy pineapple lumps are just delicious. Let’s just say there’s a reason why pineapple lumps have been a popular sweet treat in New Zealand since 1935!

Known as L&P, Lemon and Paeroa is a refreshing drink made from lemon juice and fizzy mineral water sourced from Paeroa, a town on New Zealand’s north island. This iconic drink has been around since 1907, so you simply can’t visit New Zealand without taking a sip of such a classic creation.

Does a chewy pink marshmallow coated in a layer of creamy chocolate sound as divine to you as it does to us? Thoroughly infused into Kiwi culture, being told that you’ve earned a chocolate fish is a sign you’ve done something very right!

Cookie Time Cookies

We can’t confirm, but rumour has it that Cookie Time cookies are actually one of the Cookie Monster’s favourites. And he’s a bit of a connoisseur, so we reckon he knows what he’s talking about. Jokes aside, you won’t want to miss out on a bite of a cookie with a recipe that’s so good it hasn’t been changed for over 30 years.

Jelly Tip

Jelly Tip initially intended to be a limited-edition product but it sold out within a matter of days! Thankfully Whittaker’s chocolate decided to give people what they wanted and brought it back ASAP. We understand. Raspberry jelly covered in a combination of milk and white chocolate does sound pretty incredible.
