Wellington Chocolate Factory and Best Ugly Bagels are releasing their first collaboration, Cinnamon & Raisin Milk Chocolate Bar, a special limited release for Easter.
The bar features Best Ugly Bagels new Cinnamon & Raisin Bagel and Wellington Chocolate Factory's (WCF) dark milk chocolate. WCF Founder Gabe Davidson says the new bar is an unexpected and unique offering.
"With A Left Hook Of Cinnamon Followed By An Uppercut Of Crunchy Bagel, It's A Knock-Out," Says Gabe Davidson.
Al Brown, Founder of Best Ugly Bagels, says their bagels are the perfect partner for the new bar.
"The Combination And Flavour Works So Well, As You Get A Bit Of Everything All In One Tasty Bite. You Have The Full-Bodied WCF Dark Milk Chocolate Setting The Tone, Then The Spice Of The Cinnamon, The Crunch Of The Toasted Bagel And The Added Sweet Hit From The Raisins With A Sprinkling Of Sea Salt To Accentuate The Flavour," Says Al Brown.
It's the first time the two well-known New Zealand brands have worked together. WCF and Best Ugly Bagels share the common values of championing and supporting New Zealand producers and products. Al Brown says supporting local has become more important over the last 12 months.
"What makes this partnership so great is the mutual approach we share to producing our product. It's a hands-on process steeped in tradition with a focus on great ingredients, and we want to have fun while doing it. This Easter, you'll find me in a kayak chasing some fish around with a sneaky chocolate bar stashed for smoko," says Al Brown.
The Cinnamon & Raisin Milk Chocolate Bar is available to buy online or instore at WCF, online and instore at Best Ugly Bagels, and at both Farro Fresh in Auckland and Moore Wilson's in Wellington.
