AUCKLAND, Today: Whittaker’s is going bananas — literally — with the launch of its limited-edition Banana Caramel 250g block, hitting shelves mid-July and wrapped in its signature Creamy Milk chocolate.
It’s the first time the iconic chocolate maker has used banana in a block, and it’s all about mixing that nostalgic flavour with a touch of caramel indulgence.
Whittaker’s Chief Marketing Officer Soraya Cottin says the flavour is a clever balance of comfort and creativity.
“Pairing the banana with caramel makes for sophisticated indulgence with a hint of nostalgia for Chocolate Lovers who reminisce about banana-flavoured treats.
“It’s incredibly more-ish and true to Whittaker’s absolute commitment to innovation and quality, and we can’t wait to hear what Chocolate Lovers think.” – Soraya Cottin
“It’s incredibly more-ish and true to Whittaker’s absolute commitment to innovation and quality, and we can’t wait to hear what Chocolate Lovers think,” says Soraya.
The packaging is just as fun as the flavour — bright, playful and easy to spot on shelves, giving retro vibes with a modern twist. As always, it’s crafted bean-to-bar in Porirua, using fully traceable, Rainforest Alliance Certified™ cocoa beans — and, of course, it’s palm oil-free.
The Banana Caramel block lands in stores nationwide from 14 July 2025 — but only while stocks last.
