World Chocolate Day on July 7 proved the perfect opportunity for Chocolate Brown to celebrate its success at the 2020 NZ Chocolate Awards with free tastings.   

The Warkworth chocolatier won Silver for its Whiskey Walnut, Bronze for its Macadamia Ginger and Bronze for its Gingerbread chocolates.

Judges were especially effusive about the Whiskey Walnut, praising its subtle whiskey and walnut flavours and presentation.

“A delicious bonbon experience,” they said.

Chocolate Brown owner Susan Vize says it’s the first time Chocolate Brown has entered the awards and the recognition has been a tremendous boost for staff morale – knowing they are producing chocolates that are “right up there”.
