Wellington craft chocolate company The Chocolate Bar has launched a monthly subscription service so you don't even need to leave the house to get neck-deep in the good stuff.
The company prides itself on sourcing the highest quality bean-to-bar craft chocolate from across the globe. Bean-to-bar products are handcrafted all the way from the humble cacao bean to the finished product. It's not as sweet as the stuff being pumped out by conglomerate candy factories, and typically doesn't contain dairy.
Fresh from a stint judging the New Zealand Chocolate Awards, Luke Owen Smith is the Willy Wonka behind the boxes. Released monthly, each box gives subscribers a chance to try rare cacao origins and small batch chocolates. Smith says that brands to be expected in the service include: Vietnam's Marou, Nelson's Hogarth, Scotland's Chocolate Tree and California's Dick Taylor.
