Kinder Bueno (kinder is German for "children", bueno is Spanish for "good" or "tasty") is a chocolate bar made by Italian confectionery maker Ferrero. Kinder Bueno is a hazelnut cream filled wafer with a chocolate covering. It is sold in packs of two, three, six, and boxes of twelve.
Kinder Bueno was first marketed in Germany in 1990. It became available in Latin America (Brazil, Argentina, Colombia and Mexico), Malaysia, Singapore, Israel and Greece in the mid-1990s, in Spain, Gibraltar, Italy and France starting in 1999, and has been common in Canada, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom since 2004. It is also common in Poland, Romania, Croatia, Norway, Slovenia, Serbia, Denmark, Republic of Macedonia, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Finland. A few stores in the United States carry it, but because of its rarity, it can be very expensive.
In 2007, Kinder Bueno was relaunched aimed at an adult market with a new series of adverts "a little bit of what you fancy" aired in the UK and Ireland. On the 20th of August 2008 Ferrero released a new sort of Kinder Bueno, Kinder Bueno White, covered in white chocolate.
The Kinder Bueno are made in the Ferrero factories of Villers-Écalles (Seine-Maritime, France) and Warsaw (Poland).
