Advantages: Delicious and unique, Handy boxes, Highest quality and packing

Disadvantages: Expensive

In 1940 Pietro Ferrero had a dream. Today that dream has materialized into the Ferrero Rocher's available to all and sundry.

Mr Ferrero was a gifted Italian confectioner and wanted to create fine chocolates for the people of the world to savour.

Today Ferrero Rocher has grown into the third largest confectionery company in the world and boasts of only the highest quality product.

Today my mother-in-law visited us after three years. Guess what one of the gifts she bought was. Yes a box of Ferrero Rocher chocolates and thus my inspiration for this opinion.

At this very moment I am fondly holding the box in my hand and thinking wether I should open it or not. If indeed I do open it I would probably end up finishing half the box, such are these chocolates.

The concept of Ferrero Rocher has always been to create the finest chocolates and with this product they have indeed created one of the finest the world has seen. This is not your basic chocolate that has been put together for mass production and with price in mind. This has been created using imagination and to give people something absolutely different.

At the heart of every Ferrero Rocher is a whole roated hazelnut and creamy filling. This is all encompassed with a crispy wafer wrapped in milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts.

They come in very convenient transparent plastic boxes. The particular one that I got today is the 375gms (13.1 oz) tin and contains 30 chocolates.

Each chocolate is individually wrapped in a lovely golden foil wrapper and with a little "Ferrero Rocher" label. Each piece is then set in a paper holder that is very similar to a cup cake.

The box has a ribbon like seal that runs through the center and completly around the box.

Another excellent advantage with these chocolates is that the box can be used for many purposes, that is once you've finished the chocolates.

Since I got t
hese as a gift I was not too sure of the exact price but after doing a bit of research I can tell you that the 200gms box, which contains 16 chocolates goes for around £3.00 - £3.50.
As for the 375gms box I got, this was probably picked up from the Duty Free as she came from overseas.

What can I say. No matter how many different types of chocolates I've tasted (and mind you that is lots) I have never found anything that has come even remotely close to Ferrero Rocher. Further there is no other chocolate that you could eat so much of and not get sick and tired of.

Expensive yes but certainly well worth it's weight in gold.
