I like Europe. Granted I’ve never been because I still have crippling student debt, chose a career where I’m paid in Expo markers, and have a genetic inability to save money. But I’ve seen Europe on the TV and I like it. It’s like someone took the idea behind EPCOT and upsized it to an entire continent.
They’ve got good stuff in Europe. England has Spaced. France has crepes. Germany has Kraftwerk. Greece has an overly inflated sense of self-importance. Italy has chauvinism. And Slovakia has hostels where people are killed with power tools.
They’ve also got tasty sweets: Cadbury, Ritter Sport, Milka, Ferrero, and a million others I’m not nearly cool enough to know about. Today’s topic for reviewance is Ferrero’s Kinder Bueno. A pair of bars so good, they combined two languages to creepily name them “Good Children.” Or, if you prefer (and I do), “Children Good,” read in your best Eastern European cavemen voice.
I picked these up at a British market that is unfortunately located just far enough away from my home so as not to be convenient for any kind of regular patronage.
A Kinder Bueno is made up of a hazelnut cream-filled wafer covered in milk chocolate. There are two bars two a pack and each bar is individually wrapped. Now you know they are made in Europe when you get two bars in a pack and they are individually wrapped. There is not an American food executive in the world that would even dream of selling a chocolate bar in United States that seemed to encourage you to have one and maybe save the other for later. If this were conceived in the US, each bar would be the size of a Duraflame log, branded as Xtreme, and sold with a coupon for a gallon of energy drink.
This chocolate confection is a delight! A delight! The wafer is light and crisp, the hazelnut cream is smooth, and the chocolate is good. They are not overly sweet, nor is there too much of them.
And you know what? I think I will save the other bar for later, thank you very much.
I love these, and had I easier access to them, they would definitely find themselves in the regular rotation. If you happen to see some stateside, pick up a few. You’ll be glad you did. And if you’re in Europe and can manage to escape your shackles and ball gag, run to safety, enjoy the one you’ve been saving, then go back and kill that guy.
Food Junk 
I’ve been buying these by the bunch for a few years now… if you have a Cost Plus World Market or Powell’s Candy Store, those are good resources! They’re my all-time favourite candy bar. So good!
I don’t have either of those! 😦
Best candybar EVARRRRR! I was introduced to this candy long long time ago when I was given a bag of mini bars of this. It was the saddest day when I finished the bag because it was exceptionally good.
I know locally, Publix carries it in a British food section. Dunno if you have that store in your area though.
I’ve also found that Aldi has a version of this candy bar. Not as good, but it helps me to get through Kinder Bueno withdrawals.
I do have a Publix close! Thank you!
Great review, as always. Once I ditch this girl with the dropping eyeball hanging from the socket I will definitely look for a bar. It will make the revenge that much more sweet.
I bought these in Carrolwood when I lived in Tampa, it’s a bit of a drive but you could stop by O’Brien’s Irish Pub on the way, to break up the journey like, ya know 🙂
Where in Carrolwood?
I love KinderEggs. Chocolate filled with choking hazards! I can’t wait for Easter!
Oh wow glad you enjoyed these so much, I live in England and they’re all over the shops, they do white chocolate versions too? Not sure whether youve seen them? If youd ever be up for a chocolate swap between the US & the UK I’d definately be up for it!
We totally should
Yess would be great!! Is there any other european stuff you really like?
These are amazing. Picked em up on my way back from Dusseldorf! lol @ Slovakia
These are also made in the shape of a hippo. Kinder Muy Bueno anyone?
