Christmas, by Kenyak
Ayoohooo! Doc.Choc here,
I’d like to give you a big warm welcome to our Christmas Collection. Crafted out of my memories of being a kid in December; and that ability to sit in anticipation of a very good moment - surrounded by those you love.
But first, ambiance…
Every chocolate from this year’s collection was made to the rather present moment mood of this year playlist. I’ve been trying to slow down a moment.
So take a breath in with me; and breathe out all of the business that’s about to come.
This moment right here is for you, and your loved ones.
Have you clicked play? Click play. Pour a ‘cuppa, and take a scroll.
I’ve got so many treats for you x
Orders close at 10am on Tue 15th of December.
Things are about to get wild. If an item sells out, the fastest way to know about it being restocked is to join the wait list on the product page. Emailing doc.choc is indeed, the slowest way 😉
You can preorder your treats and select from a range of dispatch dates at the checkout. If you’re after a specific date for Hobart delivery please leave us a note at checkout.
Sending a gift? There’s a fancy box at the checkout if you’d like us to add a handwriten note for you (or a love letter to Doc.Choc) - please keep both short, somebody never got his pen license…
While you’re there, please take a moment to carefully check your delivery details are correct, we run fancy shipping software and do not check for typos.
If you add a preorder item to your cart, we will dispatch everything together once it is in stock.
If you’d like to add more items to your order, you can make a new order and add this code at checkout to merge them - INEEDMORECHOCOLATE
Ordering more than two gift boxes? We’ll be in touch with a final freight estimate prior to shipping them.
Don’t freak out if you receive a notification that we’ve packed your order prior to your selected dispatch date. Our Oompa Loompas are working overtime this year.
Oh, and Thankyou, it means the world to me that you choose to support a small Australian Business 🫶
Things to Know
Sullivans Cove Whisky.
Sullivans Cove Whisky.
Tastes like destination - pure bliss. Reasoning: no need.
For the Dreamers
This is an exceptionally limited edition release of our Collaboration with Sullivans Cove Distillery: an 11 piece box featuring four unique, rare, and never to be repeated world class whiskies.
Back on the 11th of January, I received an email from Sullivans Cove Distillery asking about the possibility of producing a little something delicious together.
It was 2am. I was in Budapest; and after calling my mum to share this gloriously and scrumptiously electrifying news, I popped on another two layers of thermals and took myself for a jaunt around the (incredibly slippery) snow lined streets to burn through some delight. It turns out checking your emails whilst jet lagged on holiday isn’t that larger sin after all. Walking on icy cobblestones in the dark - well, I’ll let you be the judge of that one.
Being asked by a very cool group of people if you want to craft something beautiful - together, is perhaps one of the most rewarding delights of being a maker.
The reality of having your livelihood directly tied to the reputation and identity of a product you craft is often a lot of big feelings, or actually - small feelings, so my therapist tells me, about how cool that product and the experience it delivers actually is. You tend to spend so long so deeply engrained in the mundane minute detail of it all that you can just simply forget the bliss that exists up there, floating and glimmering amongst it all.
This project was a real yank up to the sparkly bliss when I needed it.
The Pigeon Whole Bakers Gingerbread Chocolate Bar
Every now and then, a chocolate bar lands that feels a little bigger than the sum of its parts.
Our Gingerbread Chocolate Bar is one of those.
-
A few months before Kenyak began, I booked out the entire month of December to chase a Christmas daydream. I planned to travel from South to North through Eastern Europe — hot chocolates, snowflakes, and snow globes. It was going to be a proper break, or maybe a distraction from the bigger truth I was trying not to look at: that it was time to make this chocolate dream thing real.
Eventually, the daydream cracked open into something better. I moved jobs and joined the team at Pigeon Whole Bakers. A few weeks in, I spotted a label in their dry store: Lebkuchengewüerz. German gingerbread spice. The rest is history (or at least, chocolate goodness.)
-
Back for round three after selling out in ten days last Christmas, the Pigeon Whole Gingerbread Bar brings together PWB’s superb housemade gingerbread and our moreish caramelised white chocolate. Think cookies and cream, but festive, grown-up, and proudly handmade in Tasmania.
We like to think of it as moreishly European — like trying to savour your last Pfeffernüsse while listening to carols in the snow at the Bremen Christmas Markets. (No, really.)
It’s sweet, spiced, and buttery. But it also carries that soft glow of memory. The kind of flavour that reminds people of something — even if they’re not quite sure what
+ Three Snackbars to Fight Over
Hmmm yes, good things do indeed come to those who continuously email Doc.Choc requesting them. A Rum and Raisin snackbar to fufill some 15 repeated requests from a Kenyak Kennie (IYKYK).
Featuring Australian raisins soaked in spiced rum for two months before being blended into a fudge like filling with caramelised white chocolate.
Tasting Notes
Defiantly delicious. Like scooping all of the jelly off of Gran’s Christmas trifle while the rest of the family is arguing over letting the kids sit at the big table and making the only just adult-age cousins occupy their own version of the kiddies table after they were once again late to Christmas Lunch.
Things to Know
This number contains alcohol; with an average ABV of 5%. Enjoy responsibly, we pour generously.
These bars are strictly made in limited batches of 90, if you’re going to buy a lot at least round it up to the nearest 90 😉
Made in collaboration with our good mate G at Little Batch Baking in Hobart; this treat is exactly what you’d imagine if you emailed Doc.Choc at 3am after a few wines last Christmas and asked him if he’d consider covering a few fruit mince pies in chocolate for you.
Tasting Notes
Ridiculously good. Citrus forward fruit mince meets brown butter caramel. The warmth of a (gluten free) pie base. And the succulence of it all inside chocolate.
Things to Know
These bars are strictly made in limited batches of 90, if you’re going to buy a lot at least round it up to the nearest 90 😉
As requested by one of our Kenyak Kennies (I did say the fan club had some wild privledges) - our much beloved Milo Cornflake Crunch recipe in Chocolate Finger form.
Best Enjoyed
In three good chomps in the secrecy of your laundry while nobody is looking. This ain’t for sharing.
Tasting notes
Fiendishly good. Like when you were a little kid and you mixed your milo into your cornflake bowl. Crushed cornflakes with Milo, Caramelised Gold Chocolate, a good handful of Tasman salt, and toffee.
Things to Know
These bars are strictly made in limited batches of 90 and wrapped by hand in gold foil, if you’re going to buy a lot, at least round it up to the nearest 90 😉
And our Signature Giftboxes
For the surprise guests you actually like.
Because some people have a strong inkling that emergency chocolate should always exist somewhere in the house at Christmas Time… and because some people also like to give their gift in a fancy box.

Christmas Chocolate Gift Guide: Thoughtful Picks for Everyone
I think most people fall into the camp of knowing exactly what to get someone, or having an absolutely all consuming sense that we have no clue what to get someone.
I’m in the latter; which probably explains why I send my family a hyperlinked Christmas list every October. Either that or I’m sick of getting socks that don’t match my shoes.
Anyhoo, here’s a gift guide if - like me, you never quite know what to get someone!
Much Love, Doc Choc xx
