Ferrero Shares More Than Just Chocolate Sweetness

You know it’s a good day when the UPS man brings you a bag of unexpected chocolate. Ferrero Rocher Rondnoir is a two bite bit of chocolaty heaven. It’s different from the standard candy with milk chocolate and a hazelnut center. This is dark chocolate with more dark chocolate and a dark chocolate center. It was delicious.

If you buy them this season, you could help fight childhood hunger as well. I know I shouldn’t find that funny, because of the hungry children and all, but I do. Because it’s chocolate, fighting childhood hunger. You can just go to Share Something Sweet, send an e-card and Ferrero will donate $1 to Share Our Strength.

So last week I was having a cruddy day, the kids were crazy, we’re still adjusting to my husband’s new job and work schedule and I didn’t know what to make for dinner. The UPS guy pulls up at our house and the kids go insane flailing about in their effort to get to the door first, only to be greatly disappointed when the package was for me.

I opened it up, perplexed because I wasn’t expecting something, and out drop two packages of Ferrero’s new candy Rondnoir. Yes, Ferrero, the Roche people, those lovely little balls of hazel-nutty goodness.

These were balls,too, little bumpy balls of - dark chocolate. Oh. My. Heavens. It is a ball of dark chocolate, surrounded by some sort of crunchy dark chocolate thing, covered with bumpy little dark chocolate sprinkles. Shear indulgence.

As you might imagine, they are not low in calories, nor are they exactly healthy, but if you share, like I did, and only eat two by yourself, you won’t do too much damage to your waistline. My family was delighted with me, even if I STILL didn’t know what to make for dinner. It would make a great gift for any dark chocolate lover this holiday season.

When I received a sample of chocolates in the mail to review my first reaction was “Oooooo Chocolate!” My second reaction was”Ew, it’s Ferrero Rocher!” This has always been the chocolate I wanted to like. Packaged in its fancy little gold foil, alleging style, class and good taste it always seemed like just one of them popped into my mouth would be a little bite of heaven. Instead, I’ve always found them to be gross. It’s the hazelnut most likely. I always find that there are two kinds of hazelnut out there - the burnt icky kind vs. the smooth delicious kind. Ferrero Rocher always falls into the former category to me.

Closer inspection revealed this product NOT to be the Ferrero Rocher of my previous experience, but something calling itself “Rondnoir.” Wrapped in brown foil and hinting at chocolate goodness inside, I was still skeptical. Until I ate one. Dark chocolate in the center surrounded by a crunchy yummy wafer that is then rolled in little bits of chocolate delight that seem to be crushed dark chocolate. They are delicious. Ferrero Rocher has finally made a chocolate I like!

I have to be honest. I didn’t care for the Ferrero Rocher Rondnoir chocolate at all but then again, I don’t care much for dark or semi-sweet chocolate unless it’s in a chocolate chip cookie. Conversely, my husband really seemed to enjoy the Rondnoir so I suppose it’s ultimately a matter of personal preference.
