Connecticut knows what it is to have a candy maker as a local landmark. PEZ has made its American candy in Orange for decades. New Zealand’s version of that local pride is the lolly aisle, and it travels better than you might think.
The New England advantage
Connecticut’s climate does most of the work for us. Summers are warm and sticky for a few weeks, and outside of them the weather suits chocolate. From September to June, the chocolate aisle is open.
The 86 per cent dark block is for serious dark chocolate eaters. The caramelised white block is the opposite: rich and toasty, with a toffee edge.
A small reward
The chocolate fish is New Zealand’s classic small reward, handed over for a job well done. It is marshmallow in chocolate, and the dark chocolate raspberry one is a grown up version.
High summer
In July and August, switch to biscuits and lollies. They do not care about humidity.
Chocolate and the weather
A long chocolate season, broken only by high summer.
Parcels travel unrefrigerated. Midsummer humidity is the one thing to plan around, so the warmest weeks are the time for biscuits and lollies. Autumn, winter and spring are all good months for chocolate.

What to send to Connecticut

The chocolate fish, New Zealand's classic small reward, in dark chocolate with raspberry marshmallow.
Caramel on a biscuit under caramelised white chocolate. A cool weather order.
Ordered most often to the United States
Built from real orders sent anywhere in the United States, refreshed daily. No names, no numbers, just what leaves Auckland for the United States most often.
One rate covers the first 2 kg
Your DHL Express rate follows the weight of the box, not where in the United States it is going. A half full box costs the same to send as a full one, so the trick is filling it well. Above 2 kg a step rate applies per 0.5 kg, and the exact figure shows at checkout once you enter your address.
Import charges are set by the United States, not by us
They are the same everywhere in the United States, and they do not change because your address is in Connecticut. We never add them to your price and we do not try to predict them. The only reliable source is U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Shipping to Connecticut
Straight answers for Connecticut addresses.
Where is the nearest New Zealand consulate to Connecticut ＋
The New Zealand Consulate-General in Manhattan. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade lists its current details, along with the embassy in Washington.
What makes caramelised white chocolate different ＋
The white chocolate is slowly heated until its sugars and milk solids turn golden. It tastes of toffee and toasted milk rather than plain sweetness, and it is one of the flavours New Zealand chocolate makers have leaned into.
