About Us
Aroha Chocolate® was founded by husband & wife team Jo Logan & Mike Duke (aka Wobblie).
Jo began making chocolate gifts for friends & family for special occasions & soon realised this was a passion she wished to persue.
“Our wish is you & your family enjoy our chocolate treats as much as we do.” Jo & Wobblie.
After becoming an Ecole Chocolat Certified Chocolatier by completing training both here in NZ & Canada, Jo continues to develop new & exciting techniques & taste sensations to deliver you with fresh confectionery delights.
To learn more about what it means to be a certifed chocolatier please click the Ecole Chocolat logo.
Jo continues to evolve not just a product range but the skill set behind them.
Our chocolate is made in Belgium by the company Callebaut®, makers of the Finest Belgian chocolate.
The blend we use in our creations are farmed from some of West Africa’s cocoa
farms as part of Callebaut’s Sustainability Program, ensuring cocoa & the farmers
that harvest it are here for future generations.

Rocky Road Tips
Show: Rocky Road tipsHide: Rocky Road tips
During the summer months you can have your Rocky Road as a refreshing cold treat.
Simply place your sealed bag of Rocky Road in to the freezer.
By freezing it the Rocky Road becomes brittle but not completely solid, becoming a crunchy delight.
Then when you are ready for a cool treat you can grab a piece.
Chilli Hot Chocolate

1. Before opening your Chilli Hot Chocolate, shake the bag to ensure an even mix.
2. The longer you allow the chocolate to infuse in the milk the richer it will become.
3. If you make too much up you can, leave it to cool and then pour it into a container & refrigerate.
(remember to let it cool first and do not keep after the milks use by date.)
4. This drink can be topped off with your favourite toppings like whipped cream or marshmallows
