Easter is the perfect excuse to indulge a little – whether that’s in the form of silky-smooth chocolate or quality time with loved ones. This year, treat your taste buds and bring on the giggles with a few standout goodies. From premium locally made chocolates to a brand-new twist on an iconic bunny, and a fun-filled game for the kids (and adults), here are our top picks to make this Easter extra memorable.
Whittaker’s Chocolate Pods®
Treat yourself – or someone special – with Whittaker’s Chocolate Pods®, a premium gift that’s perfect for Easter and beyond. These indulgent bites are crafted from Whittaker’s signature 33% cocoa Five Roll Refined Creamy Milk chocolate and filled with a rich, velvety hazelnut gianduja centre. Luxurious and decadent, they’re an elevated treat for any chocolate lover.
True to Whittaker’s commitment to quality, these pods are made bean-to-bar in Porirua and, like all of their products, are completely palm oil-free. It’s local craftsmanship at its finest, delivering an Easter gift that tastes as good as it feels to give.
Available at most supermarkets.
Lindt GOLD BUNNY – New Salted Caramel Flavour!
The iconic Lindt GOLD BUNNY is getting a delicious upgrade this Easter. Say hello to the new Salted Caramel flavour – a mouth-watering blend of Lindt’s smooth milk chocolate, crunchy caramel pieces, and a touch of sea salt for that perfect sweet-and-salty finish.
For over 70 years, the GOLD BUNNY has been a cherished Easter tradition, and this new twist is bound to become a firm favourite. With salted caramel a global favourite and Kiwis consuming an impressive 4kg of chocolate per person last Easter, this irresistible bunny has arrived at just the right time.
Wrapped in its signature gold foil and finished with a beautiful blue ribbon and bell, it’s as delightful to look at as it is to devour.
Available at most supermarkets.
