Those with a sweet tooth are set to pay for their chocolate cravings after Whittaker's announced they're hiking the price of their chocolate blocks.
The Wellington-based company announced they will be raising their prices from Monday in a bid to compete with the rising costs of production.
Whittaker's says after
exploring other options they were left with no other choice.
"We wanted you to be first to know that from Monday we sadly have to raise our prices. Why? Because our costs have been steadily rising," the company wrote today.
"The good news is that we will not be changing our block size or cutting corners on quality. And rest assured we will continue to make our chocolate right here in Porirua, New Zealand."
