We have done this twice now. We order something we haven't tried from Wellington Chocolate Factory, and then a week later they release something new. This time they released 3 new bars, so we had to order again. SAGE AND BUTTER 
Ingredients include browned butter, (milk) and fresh sage and 71% Vanuatu cocoa nibs. The fragrance is plummy. The texture is nice and smooth and the taste is creamy and buttery. There is a slight astrigency and there is also some jasmine and plum notes. The sage comes through with bigger bites and leaves a freshness in the mouth. There is also a slight saltiness. This was nice. We really liked the herby floral notes to this. SPICY DORIS
 Ingredients include freeze dried black doris plum, Aleppo chillies, lime oil and 70% Vanuatu cocoa nibs. This had lots of fruity candy type notes. There was citrus, banana, plum and cherry along with a chilli hit. It reminded us of Cherry cola or Berry ripple icecream with a chilli hit. Everything was nicely balance and well as flavoursome and we really liked it. 85% VANUATU SINGLE ORIGIN
We have tried the 70% Vanuatu version before and found it strong. This is an even stronger tasting dark chocolate. We discovered more flavour notes with this 85% batch. We got banana and pepper and a hint of caramel. We are calling it 'The very strong banoffee chocolate'.
FINAL THOUGHTS This was an exciting tasting. Bursting with lots of flavours but all with the Vanuatu base. We enjoyed it a lot.

Whittakers released their new chocolate bar today. Honey Nougat and Almond with Creamy Milk chocolate. This will be a permanent line in their selection. The description says, "We've paired crunchy roasted almond pieces with the delicate taste of clover honey nougat crisps in our super smooth, 33% cocoa, 5 roll refined Creamy Milk Chocolate."
We agree with descriptions, 'delicate taste of honey'. The first flavours you get is the almond along with creamy milk chocolate. A sweetness becomes more of a honey flavour the more you eat, and honey flavour is what lingers on the tongue afterwards.
The texture is nice with the smooth chocolate and small crunchy bits. If you like the Whittakers Almond Chocolate, we think you will like this too. We like Maltesers. The inner crunchy comb has this yummy malt flavour that goes so well with chocolate. We spotted new Maltesers Gold and had to try them.
Caramel white chocolate doesn't usually trump milk or dark chocolate for us.... but this is the exception!
The caramelly flavours are just so yum with that Malterser centre. The family demolished these pretty fast. We have a new addiction: Griffins Flat White Toffee Pops
This toffee pop is a collaboration with L'affare Coffee, (one of Joni's favourite coffee brands).
You can taste the caramel toffee flavour, combined with espresso coffee flavours and biscuit, and then topped off with the sweet white chocolate. YUMMO!! 12 in a pack.... well I think there is. Hard to tell when there is only 2 left. 200g. Chocolate, oat milk, and coffee, all the things we like. Wellington Chocolate Factory's Oat Flat White has 40% cocoa, oat milk powder and coffee from Havana Coffee.
This chocolate felt like a winter warmer. Milky chocolate with oat flavours, vanilla and coffee, sweetness and it was all smooth and creamy. This was nice. A little too sweet for Joni, but Johanan liked it a lot.
