Yeah - they were trying to improve the numbers before the sale to Kraft in 2010. They shrank the bars, switched to less environmentally friendly packaging that disguised the reduced size, and put palm oil in, so you got less chocolate. The palm oil was the last straw for me. Farming of palm oil is responsible for deforestation, and loss of habitat, driving species to extinction. The farming uses herbicides and pesticides which cause health issues for the farmers community. The farmers live in poverty, with no choice but to farm. Additionally, palm oil is high in saturated fats, and once oxidized in food production can pose health issues for consumers. I avoid Cadbury products. (Made easier by the fact that Whitkars tasks better.)

I work in a post shop, and the three biggest items sent are, Reduced Cream, Onion Dip, and Whittaker's Chocolate.They are the most requested items by expats from their family's here in New Zealand. The Pineapple Lumps used to be better, but Pascals changed their recipe and they are not as good as they used to be. With the chocolate milk, when it first came out you had to line up to get it and the you were limited to how many you could get at a time, even then you were lucky to get one as they kept selling out and they couldn't keep up with the production. Didn't get to try one until six months had passed, haven looked back since, but you are right they are a real treat item due to the cost. But soooo worth it :) When we have a BBQ or family get together the fights over the onion dip can get a bit intense.

I'm 73. I was a pre-teen and teenager through the 1960's. Nestlé had their Reduced Cream in a tin, which wasn't wildly popular when we still had fresh dairy products delivered to the gate every morning. Including fresh cream. At the same time, Maggi powdered soups were new to NZ and again, people hesitated to buy. Making your own soup was so normal for the post war family. Rosemary Dempsey popularised (maybe invented ?) the Onion dip. Among us under 20's it took off like crazy ! We had no wartime memories of 'canned dairy' or 'powdered soup' and it was quick and easy to prepare, and could wait until your flatmates had a party. Then, all on !! Simpler times, I know ❤

A few things I recommend, definitely the Peanut Slab, toastie bar,which is marshmallow,covered in chocolate and coconut. Puhoi Belgian chocolate milk, Lollie cake, peanut brittle, Griffins Macaroons,at room temperature, and if you can find them near you, Cheese rolls.

Whittakers: After being bought by an Aussie company, Cadbury changed their recipe in NZ and as a result most of their customers switched to Whittakers. Whittakers is now NZs most trusted brand! Whitakers also come out with limited edition flavours to support well known charities. the Whittakers sales reps used to drive around the convenience stores and replace all of the Cadbury products in the Cadbury display units, with Whittakers products. Brilliant

THE iconic kiwi chocolate bar is the Whitkars Peanut Slab. The milk chocolate one is the original (not the dark or the almond). I remember being so annoyed when Cadbury's tried to steal/ copy this and brought out the 'Slab', exact small size. Thank goodness local Kiwi's refused to buy it and it is no longer!! Of course the NZ Marmite goes without saying, it's thicker than the UK version. Other classic childhood treats that you can normally only get from the local dairy are K-bars and Toffee Milk bars. Both are hard, tooth breaking bars, especially the K-bar. You have to really suck on this one! These are both from Whittakers. Original Toffee Pop biscuits are a classic. There is a technique for eating these that is also important for a lot of fans. You nibble the fluted edge of the biscuit first, before eating the rest! Tip Top brand Jelly tip ice creams (on a stick). Ice cream sandwich, with the square vanilla ice-cream sandwiched between two slices of pink wafers. You are going to be busy!!

Whittakers was a small but well known local brand...I'm 65 and can remember Whittaker Sante Bars...unwrapped dark chocolate sticks after school. Cadbury was a major player, but changed the recipe to include palm oil...to raise the melting point. The market went apeshit and suddenly Whittakers became huge.

OMG I remember when that first came out. For months it was only available in the North Island, we were spitting tacks in the south. I happened to be visiting Wellington, so I started going around supermarkets to find some. Gave up after the 5th. Then when we finally got it in Dunedin, people found out when the shelves were being stocked and would actually queue by the fridge! It kept selling out instantly and it was a few weeks before I finally got some.

If you like the homemade onion dip and you if you like or are fond of seafood try using a seafood soup mix instead of the onion and a dash of vinegar, it's quite tasty. Also Bluebird makes a thick cut version of the salt and vinegar chips/crisps you like. Kiwi made foodstuffs are generally better but Cadbury's products have changed now so I'm very much a devotee of Whittaker's chocolate.

Tapping the top of a can helps distribute the air bubbles. I prefer the blue V myself as it isn't as sweet as the green one. Scorched Almonds were my mum's favorite and yes I would give them to her for Xmas almost every year. It is very easy to disappear suddenly. The Lewis Road Creamery if you shake it up the chocolate at the bottom makes the drink even more delicious 😋

Triple chunk was the correct choice for Cookie Time. :) Further suggestions... you should try a sample of classic Kiwi bakery items from your local neighbourhood bakery (not the BP station!)... classic cream and jam donut, cream-filled lamington, cream-filled apple turnover (I sense a pattern!), custard square, custard pie, apricot pie, apple strudel. And of course meat pies - especially classic steak and cheese, steak and mushroom, potato top mince etc...

Chip Dip Tips: Here are some tips: 1. No double dipping, use a fresh chip each time you use the dip. 2. Use thick or regular thickness of chip, with the corrugations in a vertical position to prevent "chip breakage". 3. A "chippie" in New Zealand, is a builder or carpenter.
