Italy Doesn't Make German Chocolate

You know those little gold foil wrapped chocolate balls everybody gets for Christmas? Ferrero Rocher...

They are made by a company called Ferrero which apparently makes every hazelnut product in the history of mankind. Not only do they make the Rochers, but they also make the buttery goodness of Nutella.

Well, this company is Italian...and the Italian's love this stuff. They find every excuse to put it in their food. Breakfast in the morning consists of fake toast and Nutella. They sell Nutella dipping cups. This company is the HNIC here in Italy.

They also produce the Kinder chocolate series for children. That's right, this candy is not made by a German company despite the fact that it's named after the German word for "children". All of the Kinder chocolate is good. You should try it.

One of the things they make is this little egg thing "con sorpresso (surprise)". I had the experience of tasting this Kinder chocolate goodness.
