Ferrero Rocher Review and Giveaway

When I think of Ferrero Rocher, the holidays instantly come to mind. They are notorious for being a holiday treat and they are a delicious candy that brings families together.

Ferrero Rocher is a spherical chocolate made by Italian chocolatier Ferrero SpA, the producer of Tic Tac and Nutella. The chocolates consist of a whole roasted hazelnut encased in a thin wafer shell filled with hazelnut cream and covered in milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts and walnuts. The candies are individually packaged inside a gold-colored wrapper. Rocher comes from French and means "rock".

I was sent a beautiful 24 piece box of candies. I love that each section of the candy is in a different colored wrapper, it's so festive. The box that I reviewed is on top of the box with the yellow bow. Isn't that Ferrero tree gorgeous too?


These candies are heavenly. When you bite into them, you get a taste of the crunchy chocolate outside. The chocolate is fresh and rich and just excellent. The crunch of the hazelnuts is addictive and leaves you wanting more. The hazelnuts themselves have a great nutty flavor. The next taste you discover is the thin wafer shell followed by the hazelnut cream which is luscious and melt in your mouth delicious. The cream is sweet and smooth and beyond description. I love crunchy candies so the big crunch that this candy provides is outstanding! Ferrero does a great job of making sure that each taste of the candy is balanced and doesn't all mesh together when you eat it. Each part of the candy has its own distinct flavor that is recognizable once eaten. I highly recommend these candies as they are truly fabulous.

These candies would be perfect to serve on your coffee table for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day dinner.

Ferrero Rocher actually hosted an event on December 6, where Olympic figure-skating gold medalist Evan Lysacek unveiled his debut designed gown for charity. Mentor and supporting friend, Vera Wang was in attendance as well. The gown and autographed skates are up for auction to bid on and win in December, also benefitting Habitat for Humanity. It would be great if you guys could help spread the word about the auction and gown since it will be auctioned off with all proceeds benefitting Habitat! The auction runs through December 18th. The ebay auction is here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220708571484

This is the gown and skates for auction:
