Wonderland Chocolate has taken out the Supreme Award at the 2024 NZ Inspire+ Artisan Awards for its innovative approach to plant-based chocolates. The judges were captivated by Wonderland’s vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-conscious treats, which are raising the bar for plant-based indulgence in both mainstream and niche markets. Head judge Tania Walters praised the chocolates, noting that “mouthfeel, flavour, and texture were all there,” so much so that the judges didn't initially realise that they were plant-based.
"Wonderland’s dedication to quality is evident in its choice of ingredients, using premium, ethically sourced cacao from the Dominican Republic and organic raw cane sugar, which together provide a rich, authentic taste," said Walters.
Beyond the taste, the brand’s eye-catching packaging amplifies the playful and inclusive spirit at the core of Wonderland’s mission. Bold, vibrant designs transform each bar into an experience, aligning with the brand’s values and resonating with consumers who value ethical and accessible treats.
Wonderland Chocolate’s commitment to high-quality, ethically sourced ingredients and engaging presentation exemplifies a winning formula of innovation and responsibility, solidifying its well-deserved first-place finish.
