Kinder Cards

Kinder

This is both a surprising treat and a treat that I didn’t really love. I can’t say that this cookie was bad, but there was just something about it that I didn’t like. The thing I didn’t really like was more about the flavour, and maybe a little about the texture. Creatively I thought this was a really unique treat, and not like any treat I’ve had before.

The problems I had with this treat might be my own, so take them with a grain of salt. My biggest problem with these “cards” was that flavour, more specifically the lack of sweetness. I wouldn’t call them bitter or sour, but there just seemed to be a lack of sweet. I feel like the chocolate in the centre of this cookie, both milk and white was normal and fairly sweet, but it felt like the wafer had zero sweetness at all. I didn’t hate it, but it just seemed a little odd and threw me off a bit. The texture of the cookie was also a little odd, more of a shaped wafer than a cookie. Again, I didn’t hate this, but it’s not as good as I was hoping it would be.

Creatively, I don’t think I’ve ever had anything like this at all. Having a wafer like cookie on the outside and chocolate on the inside is the opposite of what I normally come across. It was also nice to have both the white and milk chocolate layered in the middle. The theme is a little confusing, as I’m not sure what kind of card it was supposed to be. Is it some kind of cookie credit card, a cream filled sports card, or maybe a crunchy business card (for Kinder). It was also a little thick to be a card, but I guess it’s a little too thin to be called a cake or bar too.

I’ll be honest, every part of eating this bar was a little confusing. It wasn’t at any point unpleasant, but I really didn’t understand the theme, and couldn’t really decide how a felt about the flavour. While I probably won’t try these again any time soon, I think you might want to give them a try to see if maybe it’s more to your taste. I feel like there’s someone out there who would love these, it’s just not me.
