Destiny Fortune Chocolates

DESTINY FORTUNE CHOCOLATES

Jane Archer had the original idea for Destiny Fortune Chocolates at the beginning of 1997. Even though it was simple it had not been done before.

They are in fact a world first. As New Zealand made the Chinese gooseberry into the kiwifruit she re-invented the Chinese fortune cookie into the Fortune Chocolate. She felt Destiny Fortune Chocolates with the half moon in the logo was perfect for this new concept, and trademarked it.

A few weeks later she found just the right fortunechocolate. They are now handmade in New Zealand from this original family recipe, using real chocolate and a liqueur flavour (non-alchoholic).

Jane also wanted the messages to be original. She therefore drew her inspiration for them from her own experiences in life. This was largely influenced by her exposure to humanity during her many years as a nurse.

She'd observed that everybody seemed to be motivated by the desire to have "that good feeling" (happy, content, inspired, fulfilled, hope, love, joy...). She therefore wanted to encourage that feeling in whoever received her messages.

After finding a way to put the messages in the wrapping, Jane trialled them with people from all walks of life with a great response. They first went on sale in a café in Christchurch, New Zealand in November 1997, where they continue to sell sucessfully today.

Many people tell her that they have kept their messages, as a momento of when and where they had them, or as a reminder of the inspiration it gave them. They also say how surprised they are that the chocolate is so delicious.

Destiny Fortune Chocolates continue to be in demand wherever they are available. At conferences, weddings, the Christmas table, after dinner and private parties. As a gift they reinforce the intention of giving someone something as a gesture from the heart.

"I am not a fortuneteller." Says Jane " Destiny Fortune Chocolates are about feeling fortunate and inspired, enjoying life and having fun! "
