A Fro-Yo Fantasy: Whittaker’s Joins Yo-Chi for a Chocolate-Laden Affair
In news sure to send chocoholics into a spin, Yo-Chi has teamed up with iconic New Zealand chocolatier Whittaker’s for an all-out sensory blowout.

Pistachio Papi Spread Launches in Woolworths…And It’s Only $12
It’s a great day to be alive. Cult favourite pistachio spread, Pistachio Papi, is has officially hit Woolworths’ shelves, and we’re filling our trolley. The creamy, smooth (or crunchy, depending on what takes your fancy) white chocolate and pistachio sensation has taken the internet by storm time and time again, from the moment the spread was released to the incredible collaborations they’ve done with other brands, including Yo-Chi and Krispy Kreme. Whether you’re baking soft-centre pistachio cookies or spooning it straight from the jar (hey, we don’t judge), you better beeline for Woolies, because they’re bound to fly off the shelves — especially with its price only being $12 ($7 cheaper than its online price)
Available in Woolworths supermarkets
Yo-Chi Collaborates With Iconic NZ Chocolate Brand
Yo-Chi has been busy cooking up a swoonworthy storm with the hottest chef across the pond, Man Can Cook. And let us tell you, this collaboration is so much more than Daniel’s good looks.

Daniel is known for his cheesecakes with a twist (often made with the helping hand of his pug, Fraser), so we’re dying to try what may be Yo-Chi’s best cheesecake collaboration yet. Available for four weeks only (or until sold out), you best believe we’ll be lining up for this one.
Available for four weeks from 24th June
