Ferrero Küsschen (German for "little kisses") are Ferrero company chocolates that consist of a whole roasted hazelnut filled with hazelnut cream including vegetable oil and covered in milk chocolate.
Ingredients
The chocolate consists of milk chocolate 31% (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, whole milk powder, butter oil, emulsifier lecithin (soy), vanillin), hazelnut (27%), dark chocolate 15% (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, emulsifier lecithin (soy), vanillin), vegetable oil, sugar, protein enriched whey powder, low fat cocoa and vanilla.
Sales
Ferrero Küsschen were launched in 1968. The box consists of 5 or 32 pieces. Gift boxes come with 14 or 20 chocolate packets.
Earlier Ferrero used to vend the same chocolates under the name Mon Chéri in the USA. In Germany and in Italy chocolates called Mon Chéri are still sold, but the candy is very different: instead of a hazelnut they are filled with a cherry.
