Most of you kids are probably too young to remember K Bars. They were one of New Zealand’s iconic lollies from the 1950’s. The Whittakers toffee came in 6 fantastic jaw-breaking, teeth snapping flavours.Well, Whittaker’s has brought the K Bar back. Its newest creation is a mix of K Bar and chocolate.The much-hyped chocolate bars come in three different flavours: milk chocolate with lime K Bar filling, milk chocolate with pineapple K Bar filling and 72 percent dark Ghana chocolate with raspberry K Bar filling.Whittaker’s has even opened a ‘pop up’ shop in Wellington to celebrate its creation.As a throwback to the K Bar’s 1950s origins, the pop-up store has been fitted out to look like an old-school milk bar.The store is white with plenty of bright neon colours themed to the K-bar flavours. The staff are also dressed in the 1950’s theme, wearing pink dresses, pink headbands and white, frilly aprons.The shop is selling the chocolate bars, some limited edition merchandise like t-shirts and tea towels and K Bar themed cupcakes, milkshakes and truffles.
After reading this article, it’s left me wondering about what the shop in wellington looks like. But they did describe in quite well, but not good enough, for me to be able to picture it in my head eg about what it looks like inside and out. So for me to get the article a bit better and being able to picture it in my head they almost need a picture. The raspberry K bar chocolate I think should not be 72 percent dark Ghana chocolate on the outside. Because all you can taste is the dark Ghana chocolate. It overpowers it and you can not taste the raspberry filling on the inside.So the chocolate should be changed to milk chocolate instead.
