Kinder Happy Hippos, in my opinion, are the greatest Kinder creation of all time!!! Yes, even better than that amazing egg combo of chocolate AND toy! Happy Hippo bars are available in 'Cacao' (shown above) and 'Hazelnut'. As the hazelnut variety are the ones that you tend to find in single packs in the chocolate aisles, this is the one I have bought, and will review. The Happy Hippo bar is a tiny 6.5 cm in length; it is, quite obviously, shaped like a hippo. The hippo is made out of wafer and has its eyes, nose and tail imprinted in the wafer. The bottom half of the hippo is covered in little white crispy bits. They taste a little ...  Read the complete review

I've had these little hippo shaped biscuits sat in my cupboard for a few weeks now and never got round to opening the pack, they have sat waiting patiently to be eaten and now that I've finally had one I thought id share the experience here. Coming in a box of 5 these are individually wrapped biscuit made by Kinder, the variety I have is the Milk and Hazelnut and from memory I think they also came in another flavour but can't remember what that was. They're not the biggest biscuit in the world I must admit, probably aimed at kiddies really, but still look pleasant enough. Taking off the plastic wrapper you see the little hippo looking up at you, ...  Read the complete review

Recently these Kinder Happy Hippos were on offer when I went shopping with my mum so I made her get some for me! At buy one get one free they were 87p for ten - bargain! I have always loved these cute snacks as I love wafer type titbits to eat when I am relaxing at night although I find it very hard to eat less than three in one sitting as they are just so moreish and tasty (: Shaped like little light hippos and coated in meringue bits around the lower half of their rotund little bodies you can see how that can appeal especially to kids - even big ones like me, lol! Kinder say these are 'Now crispier than ever' on the front ...  Read the complete review

Kinder, a product of the Italian manufacturer Ferrero, have produced a range of unique chocolate treats, primarily aimed at younger consumers. Kinder was established in 1956, and is probably best known for its overpriced Surprise egg, and more recently Kinder Bueno bars (which I've previously reviewed). You'd expect good quality products from Ferrero and, consequently, Kinder, and Happy Hippo is a novelty quality product in their confectionary line. These are described as 'crispy wafer biscuits with a milky hazelnut filling'. As the name of the product would suggest, the wafer is shaped like a hippo, except it's about 1/millionth of the size of a hippo. They ...  Read the complete review

I have a job that involves working nights and I have found the only way to survive working such unusual hours is to buy myself a different 'treat' each night to give me a sugar burst big enough to distract me from the fact I'm supposed to be asleep. This week as I was browsing the supermarket trying to find a treat for the week a particularly brightly coloured box caught my attention: Kinder's Happy Hippos. Happy Hippos are advertised as "delicious individually wrapped hippo shaped biscuits with a milk and hazelnut creamy filling." They come in packs of 5 and currently (June 2009) cost 87p a pack in Tesco. First ...  Read the complete review
