Kinder Joy or Kinder Merendero (as it has been called since it was first published in Italy ) is a confectionery product from Ferrero that was first released in Italy in 2001 and has been available on the German market since 2006.

Packaging and content

Separate halves
Contents: candy and toys

Similar to the surprise egg , the product consists of two bowls of the same size, which are not made of chocolate, but plastic, and are separated by pulling two tabs apart. Both bowls are closed with a peelable plastic film. One contains the edible parts. In the other is the toy, figure, puzzle or something similar; a plastic spoon attached to the foil should be used for eating.

There are other versions of the Kinder Joy, including "with MagicVision". Instead of the figures there are little booklets to collect. There is also a 3-pack similar to a carrier bag and a 6-pack in the form of a ship, which so far only appeared in Italy. The ship should even float, with or without eggs.

Edible portion

There are around 20 g of food in a Kinder Joy. This consists of a milk cream (45%), a cocoa cream (22%) and two crispy hazelnut confections filled with dark chocolate (32.5%), which are coated with a cocoa fat glaze and are similar to Giotto balls.

Ingredients: sugar , vegetable fat, skimmed milk powder, whole milk powder, wheat flour, low fat cocoa, dark chocolate (sugar, cocoa mass, cocoa butter, emulsifier soya lecithin, vanillin), emulsifier soya lecithin , wheat starch, sunflower oil , milk protein, vanilla , raising agents: sodium bicarbonate , ammonium carbonate , salt .

origin

The decisive factor for the origin and the intention was to secure the sources of income in the hot summer months. In Germany the summer break is relatively short and the temperatures are not that extremely high, which is why Kinder Joy has only been around in Germany and in more northern countries since the mid-2000s and only for a few summer weeks. In Italy, on the other hand, the summer months are very hot, which means that normal eggs would melt or soften and they could no longer be sold. For this reason the Merendero egg was brought to market there.
