In the world of sweet treats and indulgences, there's always room for a new sensation to tantalise our taste buds.

For chocolate connoisseurs, the latest buzz is all about a 'phenomenal' chocolate block that has made its way from the lush landscapes of New Zealand to the shelves of Coles and Woolworths.


Whittaker's, a New Zealand chocolatier with a reputation for crafting some of the most delectable chocolates, has recently introduced a new block.

Known for their iconic 'Creamy Milk' chocolate, Whittaker's has now graced us with a Caramelised Mango and Coconut block that's nothing short of a tropical dream.


Inspired by the famous Thai dessert mango sticky rice, the unique flavour combination has received positive reviews from Aussies who've enjoyed sampling it.

Imagine biting into a bar where the sweetness of caramelised white chocolate meets the tangy zest of mango fruit pieces; all harmoniously blended with the exotic crunch of toasted coconut.

‘This is incredible, a match made in heaven,’ one social media user said.

‘It’s so good, I’d honestly say it is phenomenal,’ another echoed.


Even those who've had less than stellar experiences with Whittaker's in the past have been pleasantly surprised.

One Aussie shared her shock after tasting the new 250g bar, exclaiming,

'Holy s***, that's yum. What the actual?' she said.

The response to this unique flavour combination has been so positive that Whittaker's is 'thrilled' to bring their chocolate to Australia through partnerships with Coles and Woolworths.

'Many Aussies have been appreciating the unique and delightful flavour combination of our newest block,' a spokesperson for Whittaker's shared.

‘This reception confirms our belief that our ‘chocolate lovers’ are always looking for new and exciting chocolate experiences.’

‘Our Mango and Coconut block was inspired by the popular Thai dessert, mango sticky rice.’


Whittaker's has been recognised for their excellence with the title of 'Most Satisfied Customers' in Canstar Blue's latest Chocolate Blocks rating.

‘Australia spoke, and we earned a five-star rating across key categories, including taste, texture and consistency, variety and range, packaging, and overall satisfaction,' the brand stated.

‘We couldn’t be prouder of this accomplishment, and it just goes to show that making chocolate the good, honest way doesn’t go unnoticed.’

‘The love and appreciation we’ve received has been extraordinary.’


The love and appreciation Whittaker's has received for their 'world class' chocolate is extraordinary, and it's a true privilege for them to hold such a special place in the hearts (and pantries) of Australians.

‘It’s a true privilege to hold such a special place in the pantry, and this recognition is a testament to our unwavering dedication to delivering taste and satisfaction,’ the spokesperson added.

‘This not only reaffirms our commitment to quality and innovation but also inspires us to continue to bring quality products to ‘chocolate lovers’ in Australia.’

But the Caramelised Mango and Coconut block isn't the only Whittaker's creation causing a commotion.


‘The Hazella block was a phenomenal success when we launched it in BIG W last year,’ Whittaker’s said.

‘And we received numerous requests to bring it to local supermarkets too.’

‘As a result, we’ve brought it to all major supermarkets across Australia,’

‘We have also newly released our delicious Creamy Caramel block into Woolworths and Coles, extending ranging nationwide.’

‘To make this block, we spent nearly three years trialling 59 different recipes to create the perfect caramel filling, a creamier, smoother, and more velvety caramel than anything we’d made previously.’

‘We hope it will become a firm favourite for Australians.’
