HOP TO IT TO SNAP UP EASTER CRAZE

- YASHEE SHARMA

CHOCOLATE pizzas are the most popular treat in town this Easter as demand for a Cairns chocolatie­r soars.

Coffee Works Cairns store manager Lauren Murphy said local residents along with visitors from across the country, and even a few internatio­nal travellers had made a beeline for the chocolate pizzas topped with marshmallo­ws.

“It comes in a mini pizza box … they’re customisab­le too,” Ms Murphy said.

“We get a lot of tourists and families that are purchasing them to take on their trips.”

The store sells a range of boutique chocolate, including Easter eggs and bunnies, rocky road, chocolate-covered fruit and coffee beans.

The sweet treats are made by chocolatie­rs at its Mareeba store.

“We use local fruit; we’ve got a dried mango covered with chocolate …” Ms Murphy said.

“We’re very much supported here by locals.”

Coffee Works will be open on Easter Saturday, so last-minute Easter bunnies can stock up their baskets for Easter Sunday.
