Am i the only one out there who would love to get their hands on a Kinder block of chocolate.

Dont get me wrong i love the toys in the eggs and the new easter Kinder rabbits (3 pack) has blown my mind!

But a straight up block of Kinder chocolate would just be...........Godly.

**Ouze**

What is a Kinder block of chocolate? I mean I can use google and see it's a brand, but what is special about it?

**Avatar 720**

These things?

**Iron_Captain**

I only ever cared for the Kinder chocolate eggs, and only because there were toys inside

**Howard A Treesong**

Kinder Eggs are banned in the US. And you think we live in a nanny state.

**Glaiceana**

How come they are banned in the US?

And yeah I used to love kinder eggs, the chocolate is awesome!

**Jimsolo**

Looked it up.

Somehow, I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinder_Surprise#Prohibition_on_sale_or_import_into_the_United_States

The 1938 Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act contains a section highlighting that a confectionery product with a non-nutritive object, partially or totally imbedded within it, cannot be sold within the United States, unless the FDA issues a regulation that the non-nutritive object has functional value.[8] Essentially, the 1938 Act bans “the sale of any candy that has imbedded in it a toy or trinket”.[9]
In 2012 the FDA re-issued their import alert stating “The imbedded non-nutritive objects in these confectionery products may pose a public health risk as the consumer may unknowingly choke on the object”.[10]
In 1997, the staff of the CPSC, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, examined and issued a recall for some Kinder Surprise illegally brought into the US with foreign labels.[11] The staff determined that the toys within the eggs had small parts. The staff presumed that Kinder Surprise, being a chocolate product, was intended for children of all ages, including those under three years of age. On this basis, the staff took the position that Kinder Surprise was in violation of the small parts regulation and banned from importation into the US.[11]
Kinder Surprise bears warnings advising the consumer that the toy is “not suitable for children under three years, due to the presence of small parts” and that “adult supervision is recommended”.[12]
In June 2012 the potential fine per egg was quoted as US$2,500.[13] The rationale against a ban of the product also takes the form that deaths have been too few for it to be considered a serious danger. Additionally, the argument is made that there should be a consistent standard in place, as several worse dangers are not regulated.[14]
On December 26, 2012, a petition was created on the White House website through the "We The People" campaign to end the ban on the import and sale of Kinder Surprise Eggs in the United States. However the petition failed to meet the required number of signatures by January 26, 2013 and was therefore declined.

Since I moved here I know that I don't miss them. The chocolate bars can be found in some stores foreign goods section

Those Kinder Bars are just not the same, i feel their too thick. Its the thiness of the egg chocolate that i feel wins it. Kind of like the Furry friends chocolates

Also that is the most ridiculous ban on anything i think ive heard.

**Grimskul**

Eh...never been crazy about milk chocolate, much less Kinder chocolate, they all taste too sugary to me.

Much bigger fan of dark chocolate, especially if it's somewhere around the 50%-70% range. Then you can really taste the cocoa!

Cadbury Egg > Kinder Chocolate, in my humble opinion.

And you would be backed up by sweet fething chocolatey science!

Creme eggs are the best thing since the universe was invented.

**Cheesecat**

Kit-Kat is where the gaks at.

**purplefood**

Please, Creme eggs are the best. Anyone who says otherwise is insane or hasn't tried them.

**Cheesecat**

They're good but it's no Kit-Kat.

**Glaiceana**

Creme eggs are indeed the best, but trying to explain them to people who have never heard or tried them before, they tend to get grossed out xD

**feeder**

The problem with Creme Eggs is I can't go binge eating on them like I can with Cadbury Fruit n Nut. I can eat the huge feed a family of four size Fruit n Nut and still want more but if I eat two Creme Eggs at once I just feel sick.

Maybe that's not a problem. Still it's my point, though.

Kinder chocolate is amazing. If it were readily available in large bars or thick slabs, I'd buy them for sure.

I am weak, I know. The creme-y centre is too rich and delicious for me.
