Kinder is a line of Italian chocolate by Ferrero that has a pretty wide distribution. It’s pretty popular all over Europe and you can find several varieties, including Kinder Bueno and the infamous Kinder Surprise, here in the United States. I spotted this Kinder Country in a local store and decided to give it a try.
The bar is exactly as it’s illustrated on the box: milk chocolate filled with a milky center and cereal pieces. Upon opening the wrapper, the bar has that nice sweet dairy smell that is so common with European chocolates. The taste is up there too: sweet with a strong powdered milk flavor. The creme interior is indeed milky. The texture is a bit fluffy; it feels more like a whipped nougat than creme. The cereal pieces add a nice light crunch and a subtle salty hit.
So overall this European version of a Nestle Crunch/Hershey’s Krackel bar is a nice change of pace. It’s good for when you’re in the mood for something different but want something familiar and reliable.

Ferrero is an Italian company but the Kinder line was first introduced in Western Germany. “Kinder” is the German word for “children.”

I found this out in a trip to Germany several years ago. It deserves a full review. It’s like a twix because there are two bars inside the outer wrapper, but each are individually wrapped in case you want to save one. Then inside each bar there are these chocolate covered wafer cookie bubbles filled with delicious hazelnut cream. Dynomite!!!
