Hamilton firm doing wonders with chocolate
Monday February 12, 2007
By Helen Twose *

Chocolate chips are proving a winner for a Hamilton-based company -- but it's not the biscuits familiar to generations of New Zealanders.

Thick cut potato chips enrobed in rich milk chocolate are at the forefront of Donovan's Chocolates push into Asian markets.
OK, so I went, I saw and I've munched.



Verdict is that they feel and taste rather like chocolate biscuits. *I sampled ours straight from the fridge as they'd melt otherwise and they were very crunchy with a texture just like a chocolate bikkie. *Pretty good IMO. * Couldn't taste the salt that they say is sprinkled on the chips ('crisps' to us Brits).

I also bought some of their chocolate 'seconds' at $5 per bag. *They looked a bit messy but tasted scrummy. *My kind of chocolate. *Thank goodness I bought them just before we left NZ so I couldn't be tempted to go back for more. *
