Title: Ferrero Rondnoir
Post by: paulham on September 07, 2008, 07:19:28 pm
Anyone seen/tried these?
I think they are new to the UK.
I found them in Woolies.

Click on the "experience Rondnoir" to see them in detail.

Lovely and creamy dark choc. Not too dissimilar to Lindor dark.
I would buy again. 8.5/10

I'll have to try and get some for my mother, she loves Ferrero Rocher. She's not even an ambassador.

 :D

Ive seen these in Woolies for 99p. At first I thought I was seeing things, it looked liked the side of a large box of them, however it turned out to be a long miniature box of 5 chocolates.

I'll give these a go as it looks like there's no nuts in them.

These are also in this year's Ferrero Collection, along with Ferrero Rocher and Ferrero Garden (white chocolate dusted with coconut).

The white chocolate and coconut ones are sold seperately aswell, I forget the name of them now.

Anyone remember Ferrero Giotto they brought out a few years back? They advertised them as perfect with a cup of coffee.

Yeah. They weren't that great.

I've never seen the Garden ones sold separately; I don't know if I fancy them or not. It depends  how light the coconut dusting is - a bit is okay, but when we get to Bounty or Ruffle levels I want to barf.

I like my coconut with a layer of caramel and the odd cherry in it.

Ive remembered the name of what I thought the white ones were - Raffaelo. But I think they're different things, Raffaelo doesnt have any white chocolate.

If never tried it but i love Ferrero Rocher so i think i will love the new one too!
Title: Re: Ferrero Rondnoir

The new one has no nut contents so they appeal to me. They are quite nice, although the wafer bit is a little too crispy for my fussy tastes!

Do you like them soggy, Oldspice?

I hate soft wafers. I had some Solen branded Ferrero Rocher imitations once and they had 'soft' wafer in, giving it that nasty stale taste.

2 boxes of these now finished. Not 3 bad.

I've tried these. They were a bit weird to be honest. I don't know if it's because I'm not that used to Ferrero's plain chocolate (other than Mon Cheri's which you don't see very often anyway) I don't think I've ever had Ferrero's plain but they sort of tasted like some sort of foreign Rocher, you know like how things that are supposed to be the same taste different if they've been made under license in another country? Or a supermarket looky-likey Ferrero Rocher. Rafaellos are lovely- I can't remember if the white ones that you could get in a box with Rondnoir and Rocher this Christmas were actually called that but I remember Rafaellos from years ago and and that's what they were- but Rondnoir were just a bit fnerrgh..., they'd definitely be the ones left in the box, just like the coconut ones are in Quality Street (although I actually like those).

I also like them more than regular rocher, I've got them ready to scan but haven't gotten around to it. They'll be up as soon as I get a free weekend.

B&M Bargains have got big boxes of these for £1.50 now.
Ah well! Bye Rondnoir.
