Any chocolate recommendations???

[miep]

Yes http://www.schoc.co.nz/ is fantastic! there's a shop in Welly in Tory st and the original one in Greytown, on the right hand side before the centre as you drive in from Welly. Sorry to you Aucklanders but it beats devonport chocs hands down.

Oh and Moorf when you're here and you're still looking for a round bottomed Wok (yes I have a spooky memory ) go to Moore Wilson's as they have them and cheap too!
How long will you be in Welly for?

On my newly found mission to sample all of NZ's chocolate I can report back on:

- Whittakers milk - rather good! reminds me of the Swiss chocolate in M&S

- Arnotts Mint Slices - gorgeous! just like Mint Viscounts, but more crunchy

Also, I tried a Cyclops organic chocolate yoghurt, and this was yummy! Rather a lot in one tub, but it comes with a lid, so could be saved for a 2nd session.

At this rate I am going to end up with a cupboard of part eaten confectionary!!!

Cadburys Rocky Road is to die for............... when you can buy these days, as everyone is after it!!!!!!!
It is yummy!!!

Crunchie over here is yuk!

Can agree, Arnotts mint slices are yummy too, just like viscount.

My downfall though - pick n mix!!!!!!!!!

I tend to eat Whitakers, but you can get Green and Blacks out here. I think we Brits have quite different chocolate tastes to many other countries, in particular Europe.

There is a Schoc chocolate in Welly and also in Martinborough. It is a life time experience if you can do some choc. tasting with one of the owners. Fantastic chocolate in some very unexpected flavors such as lime- chili. You can try hundreds of kinds of very fine chocolate- if you have the time. Highly recommended!

We opened some whittakers chocolate we had lurking in the cupboard from my mum's visit a couple of months ago....but after a couple of pieces each we decided it was just too sweet for our taste!
I am gonna have to get around to visiting that choc place in Devonport as I am really craving some hotel chocolat stuff tonight
