Whitakers Chocolates, one of the UK’s longest-established chocolatiers, is delighted to announce the launch of its latest indulgence: new Milk Chocolate Brazil Nuts.
The launch comes on the back of significant investment, as the company has commissioned and built a dedicated nut processing facility at its Snaygill site in Skipton. This new development not only marks an exciting milestone in Whitakers’ 135-year history but also safeguards its existing BRC AA accredited factory, ensuring the continued production of its much-loved core chocolate range.
Managing director, William Whitaker, comments: “This investment hasn’t come lightly, especially with the unpredictability within the cocoa market. However, with the support of our parent company, Bramble Foods Group, our long-held ambition to create a dedicated nut processing facility has now become a reality. This will not only enhance our range of seasonal chocolates but will also open the doors to exciting new own-label opportunities.”
The first product to roll off the new production line is the double enrobed Milk Chocolate Brazil Nuts – the ultimate in chocolate indulgence, launching just in time for the festive season. Combining premium whole Brazil nuts with a rich, smooth double coating of Whitakers’ signature milk chocolate, this product is set to become a seasonal favourite.
But this is just the beginning. The new nut facility will pave the way for a pipeline of exciting product innovations – from dark chocolate Brazils (set to launch April 2026) to other much-loved classics including marzipan, nougat, and Turkish delight.
This expansion underscores Whitakers’ commitment to both heritage and innovation, ensuring that the company continues to delight generations of chocolate lo
