Our Christmas stockings were stuffed with a selection of New Zealand’s finest sweeties, including such intriguing options as Jaffas, Pineapple Lumps, and lemon & paeroa white chocolate.

Taste testing was obviously required, and the Jaffas (orange sugar coating, chocolate inside) emerged the consensus winners.

Pineapple Lumps divided the judging panel, but Ollie showed his loyalty by rather impressively devouring a whole pack in 20 minutes in the evening after Christmas lunch.
