I got this Butter Krak confection from my friend Laurel. I don’t remember where she bought it. I think she mostly bought it because the name’s hilarious.
Neither the wrapper nor the name gave much indication as to exactly what this was. The ingredients list did list “cocoanut”. Typo or purposeful pun?

More about Zitner’s…
Zitner’s is an American confectionery company coming out of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They have been in operation for almost 100 years creating sweets! However, they are known for their seasonal filled eggs. The eggs come in traditional flavors of marshmallow, peanut butter, buttercream, cocoanut cream, and double coconut, and (of course) butter krak!
So what is a “Butter Krak” egg?
Zitner’s are most known for their Butter Krak eggs, which are dark chocolate logs filled with a coconut and vanilla buttercream.?They are only released around Easter-time each year too, making this a seasonal sweet that diehards clamor for. Apparently, they have quite a following.
The dark chocolate that made up the shell had bits of coconut mixed in. It was pretty good on its own: a decent depth of chocolate flavor with a sweetly nutty finish.
Unfortunately for the dark chocolate shell, the center filling was a nuclear sugar bomb. It was so sweet that it burned my throat.
The white filling was basically a butter cream with bits of coconut mixed in. It had a dry, pasty, grainy texture with some chewy coconut flakes mixed in.
The conclusion?
There was some nice coconut flavor hidden in there, but the balance was totally wrong. The cloy of the filling totally overwhelmed everything from the coconut to the chocolate shell.
I’m glad Laurel bought this for me. I did eat the whole thing over several sessions and with liberal quantities of water to wash it down, but it’s just too sweet. A —.
If you want a second opinion, Candy Addict reviewed this a few years ago.
Your friend gave you an old easter egg. Zitners’ (the best eggs ever) are manufactured in Phila for Easter only!
That is terribly sad! Your friend surely sent it to you for the name purpose only. That poor neglected EGG was sitting around for a loooooooooong time. Now is the perfect time to enjoy these tasty treats.
i absolutely love KRAK……i WILL GO ANY WHERE IT IS SOLD BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT SELLS OUT. SO I WILL BUY MY OWN SUPPLY. THANK YOU FOR SUCH A GREAT PIECE OF CANDY. SINCERELY, MARY SEINER
Zitner’s make the absolute BEST egg around. I could eat a box a day if my diet included it! They are a little hard to find, but when I do – I’m a repeat customer. I believe they are freezable too, but mine never last that long. My mouth is watering as I type this…YUM!!!
Your friend must not like you because these are the world’s best
Rosa’s take on this egg are definitely controversial. I will have to give them a try myself to see what I think!
I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today,
yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners and bloggers
made good content as you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.

and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
