Premium chocolate bars by Ferrero. Rocher and Raffaello turn into greedy tablets with stunning packaging.

We have already told you about the confectionery successes of the Ferrero house. Today, we present the new premium chocolate bars with greedy flavors based on Rocher and Raffaello.

The history of Ferrero pralines

It was 1982 when Ferrero Rocher made their appearance on the market, followed in 1990 by Raffaello. The mission of the Piedmontese company was allegedly to make high-quality confectionery pralines accessible to the wider public. The result was a blast. After the ice cream sticks by Rocher and Raffaello, the two recipes evolve into 7 delicate variants of premium chocolate bars.

Ferrero Rocher bars contain milk, 55% dark and white chocolate combined with hazelnuts, almonds and salted caramel. Raffaello bars instead feature white chocolate blended with coconut, almonds and pineapple.

Moreover, some squares have a shape that resembles the original rounded pralines. The different textures and assorted flavors ensure a multisensory experience.

The premium chocolate market

The premium chocolate market is worth over $100 billion a year and is constantly growing. As it turns out, widespread lockdowns nationwide are estimated to have contributed even more to the rise of comfort food. 

But chocolate is a real art, so consumers want to choose products with sustainable ingredients (think of the war against palm oil) delighting the palate in a refined way. According to research, 55% of global consumers agree that chocolates with different flavors and textures are more premium.

Manufacturers and brands are therefore shaping cocoa into new formats to meet this demand. As a result, the categories of chocolate continue to evolve, as 75% of global consumers want to try new and exciting taste experiences. Ferrero’s response was not long in coming.

The maitre chocolatier Compartés has indeed launched a line of bar tablets in collaboration with Chrissy Teigen.

The original designs created by the kids Luna and Miles, stand out on the background of the packs. The boxes are witty but at the same time refined.
