Exciting news for parents and kids alike: Kinder Eggs are finally hitting the shelves in the U.S. No more feeling like you’re smuggling illicit treats into your home! These delightful chocolate eggs, which conceal a surprise toy within, are bound to make your children squeal with joy. However, it’s important to note that the original Kinder Surprise eggs were banned in the U.S. back in the 1970s due to concerns over hidden items in food — a fair point given the potential choking hazards.
While intrepid shopkeepers may have offered these eggs through unofficial channels, purchasing them came with a hefty dose of guilt: “Should I really buy these for my kids knowing they’re illegal?” You might have even found yourself anxiously watching as your child unwrapped the treat, fearing you’d become the subject of a cautionary tale about unsafe snacks. Thankfully, you can now put those worries to rest.
Ferrero, the company behind Kinder, has introduced Kinder Joy eggs to the American market. Although they might not have the same flair as the original Kinder Surprise, they are still a fun treat. Kinder Joy eggs consist of two separate compartments: one holds a small toy, while the other is filled with delicious chocolate cream and crunchy wafer balls. Your kids will likely be thrilled with this new treat, and you can enjoy it without feeling like you’re breaking the law.
These eggs will be available nationwide starting this month, priced at $1.59 each. Personally, I’ve always had a bit of a fear regarding choking, which kept me from buying the originals, despite growing up in a time when surprises were often baked into our treats. Remember those days? Now, I can offer my kids a sweet treat without the anxiety of hidden dangers.
