Lucky then that New Zealand companies Lewis Road Creamery and Whittaker’s have joined forces to give us the world’s first chocolate butter.

Lewis Road Creamery founder Peter Cullinane is the genius behind this invention, and reveals he was inspired after an afternoon tea snacking on pastries.

“The French, who know a thing or two about butter, chocolate and pastries, have always had a soft spot for pain au chocolat and it got us thinking,” Peter said in statement.

“What if we combined the world’s best butter and best chocolate in an easy-to-spread blend that would be good with almost anything?”

Mixing their award winning butter with Whittaker’s 72% Dark Ghana Chocolate, no surprises here but the chocolate butter goes with pretty much anything.

“When we whipped up the first batch we spread it on warm croissants, and it was magic,” explains Peter. “But it is really versatile and is delicious on toast, pancakes, crumpets and in baking.”

Unfortunately the choc butter is only available in New Zealand, but we’re sure it’s only a matter of time before it’s shipped to Australia, right?
