I used to love Cracker Jacks. Actually, let me clarify – I loved the prizes and the peanuts (which were too scarce, if you ask me), but the caramel corn? Not so much. Really, what’s not to love about a sweet treat accompanied by a little surprise?
Imagine my delight, then, when I discovered the Kinder Surprise Egg, a hollow chocolate egg with a surprise in the center! The Kinder Egg, manufactured by Italian confectioner Ferrero, originated in Italy in 1972, and since then the toy prizes have become coveted collectors’ items.
