Whittaker's is releasing a limited-edition candy cane block to get you in the Christmas spirit

I know what I'm getting each family memeber.

The festive season is fast approaching, and that means diving headfirst into all the sweet Christmas treats.

Whittaker's is kicking off the silly season in style with their new limited-edition Candy Cane block, and I already know what I'm stuffing my face with next month!

Why choose between chocolate or candy canes in your stocking this year when you can have both?!

The blocks are made from their classic Creamy Milk chocolate, and to add that extra crunch, bits of candy cane are mixed throughout - I mean, that surely beats the sticky mess of wrestling your mouth around a candy cane - not to mention it's easier on the teeth.

The Candy Cane Block comes dressed to impress in bright and colorful packaging with gift label on the front.

You won't even need to wrap it, so it's the perfect last-minute gift for your uni lecturers, grandparents, or that secret Santa that you haven't the foggiest idea what they like.

"We love to celebrate Christmas with a limited edition treat, and we hope Whittaker's Chocolate Lovers will enjoy our Candy Cane just as much as the limited-edition Gingerbread block we released for the festive season last year," says Whittaker's Chief Marketing Officer, Soraya Cottin.

But remember, this Candy Cane block is here for a good time, not a long time. So, if you're already planning to stock up, the blocks will be available up and down the country from Monday, 6th November.
