For some, Easter is all about chocolate and hot cross buns. This year, the chocolatiers at Whittaker’s have cut out the middleman and thrown a big ol’ “Why not have both?” our way.

Introducing the Whittaker’s Choc Cross Bun block – a creamy milk chocolate block infused with all of the festive spices of a hot cross bun.

Mixed spices of cinnamon, clove and nutmeg; sweet raisins; and orange oil meld with the 33 percent chocolate to create a block for those who don’t want to choose.

Like all Whittaker’s chocolate, Whittaker’s Choc Cross Bun is made from beans-to-bar at its one factory in Porirua. It is also Rainforest Alliance certified, as is Whittaker’s entire range of products crafted with 100 percent traceable Ghanaian cocoa beans, and is palm oil-free. You go, Whittaker’s!

The limited-edition treat is available in a 250 gram block in selected supermarkets nationwide from Monday, January 22 while stocks last.
