🏅 Molly Woppy Wins Big for Plant-Based!
We’ve picked up a fair few medals at the Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards (ONZFPA) over the years — but this one is extra special.
This year, we’re proud to announce that our plant-based
Dark Choc Caramel Popcorn cookie won Bronze — and it was the only plant-based cookie to receive an award. That’s kind of a big deal. 🙌
Baking Plant-Based? It’s Not Easy...
Let’s be honest — plant-based baking is tough.
Cookies without butter and eggs can often taste like cardboard (yikes), and finding a great-tasting vegan-friendly cookie is still a challenge for many in the coeliac and plant-based communities. That’s exactly why this win means so much to us — it’s a win for flavour, for inclusivity, and for everyone who’s been waiting for a vegan cookie that actually hits the spot.
🍿 What’s in the Award-Winner?
Our Dark Choc Caramel Popcorn cookie is a little nostalgic treat — like a movie night in a cookie.

If you’re someone who snacks on chocolate and popcorn at the movies, this one’s made for you. 🎬🍪
What Are the ONZFP Awards All About?
Run annually by Life & Leisure Magazine, the Outstanding NZ Food Producer Awards celebrate the best of Kiwi-made food — from growers and harvesters to artisan producers like us.
Here’s what head judge Lauraine Jacobs had to say:
“Each year, the number and quality of entries keep rising. With more than 300 products judged over two days, there were many squeals of surprise at the incredible flavours and innovation. Products that carry a medal from ONZFPA are guaranteed to be high quality — and most importantly, delicious.”

🌱 Why Plant-Based Matters
Plant-based eating is better for the planet — and even if you’re not 100% vegan, swapping in plant-based snacks helps.
Check out this article from The Guardian to see just how much of an impact it can make.
