In a move that will surely stop further confusion and make our lives easier in the process, Ferrero is set to acquire Ferrara Candy. The deal will attempt to be completed by the end of 2017 and expected to cost about $1.3 billion. Ferrero – the Italian company behind Ferrero Rocher, Tic Tac mints, and…
I’ve written before how, when I was a kid, Ferrero Rochers were the pinnacle of fine chocolate. The?Ferrero Raffaello is in the same vein as the Rocher, but without those golden wrappers and tiny stickers, it just isn’t the same! Like Rochers, Ferrero Raffaello is a spherical wafer?filled with ganache and coated with chocolate. The…
Nutella & Go won the Most Innovative New Product Award in the sweet snacks category at this year’s Sweets and Snacks Expo. It was a plastic tub with biscuit sticks and a little dipping well of Nutella. Sounds/looks familiar? That’s because Meiji’s Yan Yan?has?been making basically the same product for at least a decade. I…
After writing about the illegality of the Kinder Surprise eggs, I realized that I should review them. If customs asks, all Kinder Surprise consumption for the sake of this review was conducted outside of U.S. borders. The Kinder Surprise was a thin-shelled hollow egg. Inside the egg was a sealed yellow cylinder containing a toy….
My friend Neil just got back from a trip to the Netherlands and was kind and awesome enough to bring me back a bunch of Dutch chocolates. When he handed me this Kinder Bueno White?chocolate bar, he noted that I’d reviewed the regular version but not the white one, a blog fact that I didn’t…
Most people are pretty familiar with Ferrero’s Kinder Surprise eggs. They’re banned in the U.S. and some other countries because they mix edibles and toys with tiny parts, which is a no-no. Kinder Joy, which I came across for the first time in Europe, is a newer addition to the Kinder egg line. It too…
Sometimes, candy can come awfully close to being too cute to eat. Fortunately for you lot, dear readers, I am willing to sacrifice my cuteness sensibilities and chomp down on adorable candy, even if it happens to endearingly resemble frightened hippos. What do the Hippos taste like? Kinder’s Happy Hippos, like nearly everything made by…
I’ve still yet to meet a Ferrero product I didn’t like (though to be fair, I should note that I had never had?Ferrero Raffaello?until recently), and the Ferrero Duplo was no exception. If you look closely at the wrapper, you can see that my Ferrero Duplo is special – yes, that’s Hebrew on the wrapper….
Ferrero Rocher are a pretty classic treat, and they’re probably Ferrero‘s most famous product in the U.S. Whenever my parents go back to China, they buy a bunch to give our relatives to give as gifts (they’re cheaper in the U.S. than they are in China). As a kid, I thought Rocher was the pinnacle of…
Mon Cheri chocolates, also by Ferrero, are attractively packaged, so they look more expensive than they actually are. They also look like they’d taste better than they actually do. That isn’t to say that Mon Cheri chocolates are bad, exactly, they’re just not that great. The individual chocolates are individually wrapped in shiny gold paper…
