The grand finale of this year’s Cadbury Mishti Shera Shrishti, in association with Anandabazar Patrika and The Telegraph, unfolded at City Centre Salt Lake on Sunday evening, as popular sweet shop Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick walked away with the winner’s prize from Tolly stars Abir Chatterjee (extreme right in picture left) and Tonushree Chakraborty (second from right), and Parul Sharma (extreme left), senior brand manager of Cadbury Dairy Milk. “We have been participating in this campaign since the first year. We are really excited as this is the third time we have won. Every year we look forward to this campaign and try to come up with new creations. Every participant is very good, so it is definitely a tough competition,” said Poppy Mullick (second from left in picture left) of Balaram Mullick & Radharaman Mullick. The month-long mishti campaign, that saw three Chocochefs emerge out of more than 700 contestants through a series of judgements, gave the 23 participating sweet shops three recipes to choose from and recreate at their outlets — Choco Delight, Cream Chocolate and Choco Pop Tart. It was a double delight for Nandini Dutta (third from right, in picture right) as she was crowned Cadbury Mishti Shera Shrishti Most Popular Chocochef 2016, apart from being Cadbury Mishti Shera Shrishti Chocochef 2016, along with Goutam Das (second from right) and Sulakshana Basu (second from left).
