ferrero tronky (Puerto Rico)

I picked up these two Tronky bars from Puerto Rico, after horse back riding through a non-existent forest. Apparently, we were supposed to ride for two hours amidst the native wildlife of a rain forest. Instead, we were treated to a dirt trail through fields between local ranches. Nice.

Anyhow, the Tronky Bar is created by Ferrero, makers of Ferrero Rocher, Mon Cheri, & Kinder Bueno. The bar itself is a large puffed wafer that breaks easily. This bar definitely wasn't made to take a beating. The wafer doesn't really have a taste but can be compared to chewing on a piece of thick newspaper. The inside is a hazelnut goo... Nutella! Consequently, Nutella is made by Ferrero as well. Being that Nutella is one of my favorite Churro fillings (don't ask), that would make this chocolate bar(?) a goodie. Basically, the cardboard outer shell acts as a carrier and armor for the delicious Nutella filling inside. Together, they balance each other well and make for a splendid treat. For those of you who are fond of hazelnut chocolates, this one is definitely for you.

Try putting them on the fridge. Eating them mildly cold with the chocolate hardened tastes better in my opinion.
