HAPPY HIPPOS



Kinder Happy Hippo is a cookie/candy made by Ferrero SpA, the same company that makes Kinder Surprise and Tic Tacs, among other candies.

The candy itself consists of a wafer cookie, shaped roughly like a hippo. Inside are two pastes; depending on the flavor: in the original one is milk flavored and the other is hazelnut flavored. In the new cocoa flavor, the hazelnut has been replaced by chocolate paste. The bottom of the wafer cookie is dipped in a frosting/merangue mixture and is quite crumbly. Some people find the hazelnut flavor to be overpowering and sickly sweet, others have not found this to be the case.

But why are they Happy Hippos?
