Ferrero Rocher
Ferrero Rocher is a spherical chocolate sweet introduced by Italian chocolatier Ferrero SpA.
Description
Introduced in 1982, the chocolates consist of a whole roasted hazelnut encased in a thin wafer shell filled with hazelnut chocolate and covered in milk chocolate and chopped hazelnuts. The sweets each contain 73 calories and are individually packaged inside a gold-coloured wrapper. Rocher comes from French and means 'rock' or 'boulder', after a grotto in the Roman Catholic shrine of Lourdes, reflecting Michele Ferrero's devout faith. Other notable Ferrero SpA brands include Nutella, Kinder Chocolate and Tic Tac.
