Lindt chocolate is opening its first New Zealand store filled with world famous treats

Ice cream or hot chocolate - what are you trying first?

Lindt Chocolate is coming to our shores with its first-ever New Zealand store.

With chocolate galore, Kiwis will soon be able to taste all the different choccy flavours Lindt has on their shelves.

Chocoholics will be able to dig into Lindt's world-famous Crema Gelata Ice Cream, sip on a hot or cold chocolate made with loads of Lindt choccy, and create a custom 'Pick and Mix' chocolate stash to take home.

I reckon I'll be going at those tubs full of Lindor balls by the handful, and no one will be able to stop me, lol!

The chocolate spot is set to open its doors in September at Auckland's new Manawa Bay premium outlet centre.

Manawa Bay's centre manager, Linh Luong, couldn't be more stoked about adding some sweetness to the area, saying: "We're very proud to have worked with Lindt creating their first retail store in Aotearoa, bringing the incredibly popular chocolate brand directly to Kiwi chocolate lovers."

I fear my love for chocolate may be about to reach problematic levels come spring-time, but that's for future me to worry about!
