Kinder Friends Chocolate Assortment

Certain snacks can bring back memories and remind adults of their childhood.  These same candies can excite children of today as well.   One of the reasons we decided to create World of Snacks was to seek out candy that we loved as children and to allow my son to explore these same treats.   Our candy under review today is one such snack- well soft of. 

Our international snacks blog is heading to Germany to explore a snack offered by the beloved Kinder!  Kinder for non-German speaking confectionery lovers translates to “children” and we cannot think of a more appropriate name.  This brand is personally a favorite of mine.  When I was a child my dad would treat the kids to a Kinder Surprise Egg.  It was a delicious milk chocolate egg filled with a surprise toy inside.  Generally the toy had small pieces and you had to put them together.  From what we’ve heard that has changed.  Now with strict guidelines around the world small toys inside food are generally not allowed.  Unfortunately, still today the Kinder Surprise is banned in the United States.  That’s why we are taking a look at Kinder Friends Chocolate Assortment instead!

Our snack from Germany came in a cardboard box filled with an assortment of 34 pieces of Kinder chocolate.  This Kinder assortment includes 4 flavors: Kinder Chocolate, Kinder Bueno, Kinder Country, and Kinder Schoko-Bons.

First to be sampled from the Kinder Friends Chocolate was the traditional Kinder Bar.  The classic is smooth, creamy, and outrageously delicious.   The center is filled with creamy milk and this is one of our favorite candy bars in the world.

Next up the Kinder Bueno, something we have not had the chance to sample but have seen around in our travels.  We have been missing out!  The Kinder Bueno is tasty, which is why “Bueno” translates to just that.  The center is a hazelnut cream filled wafer that is covered in chocolate.  The crunch is an added bonus.

Moving on the third candy from the Kinder Friends Chocolate box is Kinder Country.  This one caught us by surprise.  It tastes like a rice cake covered in Kinder chocolate.  Although we are not fans of rice cakes, this flavor did please us.  Although out of the assortment it is our least favorite.

Last but no least, the Kinder Schoko-Bons. This snack is a chocolate egg filled with chopped hazelnuts.  I personally like the other 3 flavors better but other tasters ranked this over the Kinder Country.   Their marketing on this German snack is geared towards children but I imagine adults would prefer it.

Will World of Snacks offer the Kinder Friends Chocolate Assortment when we launch our international snack store early next year?  Yes, we plan to offer all varieties of Kinder when Germany is added to our inventory.  Until then, starting January 1st you will be able to purchase snacks from England and have them shipped in the US and around the world.   Each month following a new country will be added.  To stay up to date with the progress of our online store leave your details to the right.
