Mon Chéri is an internationally known brand name of the Italian Ferrero company for a chocolate confectionery.

The Mon Chéri is a single-wrapped, combination, consisting of a "heart" of cherry, floating in a special liqueur and contained in a plain chocolate housing.

Mon Chéri actually comes from French and means "My Dear".

The cherries used to make Mon Chéri have their origin near Fundão, in Cova da Beira rural area, Centro Region, Portugal. Every year Ferrero buys 150,000 tons of fruit to produce this candy.

Mon Chéri was the first major product with which the company's German subsidiary in Stadtallendorf (near Marburg) became successful after its start in 1956.

In the American market, Mon Chéri is actually filled with hazelnuts and does not contain liqueur, similar to the Ferrero Küsschen that is sold in Germany and Denmark. Most other markets, however, sell the cherry-filled Mon Chéri.
