Haigh’s Chocolates’ luxe advent calendar is returning this Christmas season, along with a price increase of more than $100.
The calendars, which sold out last year, will showcase a mix of limited-edition handmade chocolates including new dark orange fondant filled frogs, milk chocolate lemon meringue pie and 70 per cent chocolate gin liqueur.
Haigh’s Chocolates chief executive, Alister Haigh said the calendar will pay homage to the first Haigh’s Chocolates store at Beehive Corner in Rundle Mall.
“The decorative box design captures the beauty of the heritage listed building with sophisticated detail and complements the selection of premium quality chocolates found inside each drawer,” he said.
“A very limited number of calendars have been made and we anticipate that they will sell as quickly as they did last year.”
Priced at an eye-watering, $1190, up $115 from last year, the calendars are available to pre-order online.
