Croc-Mint
A mint-flavoured hot chocolate inspired by our five-metre super croc ‘Crunch’, topped with a crocodile image and peppermint crisp.

Devilishly Dark
A nod to their four Tasmanian devils with this dark hot chocolate topped with crushed raspberry candy. Rich, indulgent, and devilishly good.

Chocolate Tiger
Orange-flavoured hot chocolate with striking chocolate tiger stripes and a house-made candied orange dipped in rich chocolate – a tribute to Akasha and Kai, our Samaritan-Siberian tigers.
