With global media setting its sights on the coronation of King Charles III on 6 May, UK confectionery group Whitakers Chocolates has joined in the festivities through producing its own right royal range of treats to mark the major occasion, reports Neill Barston.
As the Yorkshire-based company noted, its latest collection allows chocolate lovers and royal enthusiasts alike to celebrate in style with a sumptuous variety of sweets tailored to the event.
Its latest range includes an array of hand-finished chocolate truffles presented in elegant gift boxes, perfect for sharing with friends and family or gifting to a fellow royal admirer. Themed chocolate bars and Neapolitans have also been crafted, adding a touch of regal flair to these classic confections.
Additionally, Whitakers Chocolates has expanded its Union Jack product line to include a vast assortment of patriotic treats. Among these offerings are limited edition 90g flow wrap fondant creams, available in three delightful flavours: refreshing mint, robust coffee, and indulgent salted caramel. These limited edition fondant creams are sure to become collectors’ items for those who wish to cherish memories of the coronation.
As the business noted, quality and inclusivity are key elements of its approach to manufacturing, which is underlined by the fact all chocolates within the royal selection are made using only the finest natural ingredients. Each individual one is gluten-free, as well as offering vegan options, catering to those with dietary restrictions or preferences.
