Though Ferrero are rather one-note as far as their product line goes (with a few exceptions, everything they sell has hazelnut in it), they’re probably one of the more reliable candy makers – I don’t think I’ve ever had a Ferrero product that I outright did not like. So it shouldn’t come as a big shock that I enjoyed this treat quite a bit.
Kinder Bueno consists of two individually wrapped bars (which is nice if you just feel like having a small snack and saving a bit for later). The bars are made up of a crispy wafer shell, filled with a “smooth milky hazelnut filling” and enrobed in a thin layer of milk chocolate.
The hazelnut filling (which is similar to the stuff inside the Ferrero Raffaello) is very creamy, and has a pronounced hazelnut taste. It is perhaps a bit too sweet, but that’s a minor complaint. The wafer shell adds a pleasing crispiness to the mix, and also has some flavour of its own to add complexity. The whole thing is coated in a thin layer of milk chocolate which, despite its thinness, contributes a definite chocolately taste (unlike, say, Cadbury Fudge, in which the chocolate is completely negligible).
It’s probably not the best thing that Ferrero makes (which is – and will likely always be – the classic Ferrero Rocher), but it’s still pretty tasty.

These things are FANTASTIC, I have to disagree with 3.5 out of 4, they deserve 4/4. The fillings are just like thick whipped cream, very silky and smooth, not at all too sweet and sugary like that laughable imitation KitKat Senses. Bueno is also very light and crispy, with the best hazelnut creme taste you’ll ever find, definitely one of my favorite bars.
Ferrero Rocher is excellent, but in the end it’s just nutella in a crispy shell. Ferrero Raffaello is the only thing I can think of that’s better than Bueno, at least in the area of crispy-coated-creamy-filling confections.
To anyone reading this, you have to try a Bueno and a Ferrero Raffaello.
