World Chocolate Day is celebrated annually on 07 July as a commemoration of the introduction of chocolate to Europe in 1550. It is also celebrated more simply because chocolate is loved worldwide. The day is observed in the best possible way – by eating chocolate, and plenty of it! While we've never needed an excuse to tuck into a slab of delicious milk chocolate, we thought we'd give World Chocolate Day a little more attention this year.

Woolies Chuckles

Woolworths Chuckles are the stuff of childhood. We distinctly remember sneaking a bag or two into the movies to mix up into our popcorn as children. Lovers of shortbread biscuit coated in smooth milk chocolate will be delighted to learn that Chuckles are included in the Woolies Chocolate Festival selection. However, these morsels of goodness now come in an assortment of flavours and tastes. Try out Chuckles peanuts, coconut ice in milk chocolate or shortcake milk chocolate bites. Woolies Chuckles now also come in bars so you can savour the chocolaty pleasure for even longer. Spoil yourself with a bag (or three) and celebrate World Chocolate Day the right way.

Funky & Moreish Fantasticals!

How we love the Fantasticals range! They're colourful and sinfully indulgent, we can easily eat a full bag in one sitting. From slabs to bags of coloured eggs, these are the ultimate treat. And for additional delight, they're speckled with soft jelly eggs throughout the milk chocolate. If you haven't tried them, we high suggest you should!
