It started off with this, for under $2:

I was impressed. Big, chunky peanuts, not little broken up ones. Thick creamy chocolate, but dark enough to be flavoursome. Only problem being there’s 3, so sharing is tricky – chocolate never breaks in half equally for some reason…
Then I tried this, under $3 from Coles:

Fruit and nut chocolate is my favourite. Whittaker’s take on the classic combo definitely delivered. SO good. Then we tried cashew:

Just like the peanut slab, but in block-form and with big chunky cashews… Mmmm…
Then we saw this today on special:

And I have to say, for plain milk chocolate it’s pretty damn good. It almost has a coffee-like flavour. Again, very yummy.
I find it amazing that this stuff usually costs less than Cadbury’s chocolate, and yet the quality is really really good. Especially compared to Cadbury’s – that stuff is yuck. I like the retro packaging too
I just checked out the website and they have heaps more flavours, including 72% Dark, Almond Gold, Bittersweet Dark, Brazil Nut, Coconut, Dark Ginger, Dark Orange, Hazelnut, Kiwi Fruit, Macadamia, Peanut, Raisin, Rum & Raisin, White Chocolate, and White Macadamia. And that’s just their ‘block’ range.. they have toffee milks, slabs, santes, squares and kbars too.
As you can see, I have a lot more to get through!!
I reckon the Kiwi’s put magic in their food or something.. everything I’ve tasted from there reminds me of my childhood. Which in turn reminds me of Noshtalgia.

Great minds think alike!
I haven’t tried the Dark Ghana one yet, but I’ve seen it at the shops. Will try it next I think
