Children happy hippo
Kinder Happy Hippo is a confectionery from the Ferrero company that came onto the market in 1995 and was named after the "Happy Hippos" figures by the designer André Roche that were hidden in the surprise eggs for years .
The original Happy Hippo Snack is no longer available and has been replaced by Happy-Hippo Crocky, which was later renamed Happy-Hippo cacao. This no longer contains hazelnut cream, but a light and a dark cream and is no longer coated with chocolate.
In 2002 Ferrero invested 70 million euros in a production line especially for Happy Hippo.
