Te Awa shop brings 100 per cent New Zealand chocolate to Fieldays

The Sweetest Little Chocolate Shop can hardly keep up with demand as the coconut-rough cowpats fly off the shelf.

Chocolate “moo-poos” are a big mover in the Kiwi’s Best marquee at Fieldays this year.

The Hamilton-based company have a whole range of Fieldays-themed chocolate on show, including milk chocolate cows and white chocolate sheep.

Dave and Merrin Watts opened their first shop at Te Awa seven weeks ago and Mrs Watts says the Fieldays is a perfect opportunity for new businesses to get their name out there.

“It’s fabulous, there’re lots of people, lots of things to try, and it’s a lot of fun.”

The handmade chocolates are all 100 per cent New Zealand made – a fact that the Watts are extremely proud of.

“It’s great to be able to sell products that come straight out of New Zealand,” says Mrs Watts.

Another product proving to be popular are the chocolate coffee beans.

“Everyone smiles when they’re around chocolate.”
