Knoppers are so good. The nut wapper wrap around is the best.
That was exactly my thought process recently when looking for a candy bar 😅
Thanks for posting this ad.
The last couple of weeks have been advertising for European brands. It’s been fine so far, organic content from actual people. But the corporations are catching on so I expect to see it ruined soon.
It really doesn’t matter if it’s posted by a corporation or not. It’s an ad either way.
…where did I say otherwise?
If someone is looking for an alternative that is…
- really delicious
- vegan
- ecologic
- made in Germany / Berlin
- manufactured by a small company
…you can have a look at the products from Kojake.

EdKa = Snickers
KaRi = Mars
HaRi = Ferroro Rocher / Hanuta / Küsschen bar
Just at triple the price per Kilo…
Knoppers are European‽
I was happy to learn that the snacks I always liked the most - Knoppers, Ritter Sport, Corny bars, Milch-Schnitte (Ferrero owned) - were European (specifically German minus one), as are many müsli bars! Guess you can tell Germans like hiking, huh?
And for Sweden I also like me some Kex.
Yes Germany
Yeah, I just looked them up!
Wunderbar!
Wait… Isn’t Mars European?
Edit: Oh no. That’s just the name for Milky Way in Europe.
What? No, Milky Way is another one, we have Mars over here :)
Milky way is different between the us and everywhere else. In the us it contains caramel. If you want the taste of our milky way in the us you need to buy 3 musketeers.
What is die and milky way in the USA is sold as a Mars bar outside of the USA. The USA Mars bar has nuts which was sold as ‘Nuts’ over here in the Netherlands (though I think it’s discontinued).
That is wild! TIL!
Yeah, Netherlands has both!

So our Milky Way, with coconut shaving, is very different from US Milky Way?
Cool to know!
Yours have coconut???
I always get my mom to bring me knoppers when she comes to visit me in Canada from the UK.
Mogens halb 10 in Deutschland…
knoppers is just awesome
Morgens halb 10 in Europa!
Aye that’s what I can get behind.
I have a snickers problem that needs to be a knoppers problem. Please send the goods to Canada.
Website idea. Join together people who, for a small fee, are willing to ship parcels full of treats to the other side of the globe with people craving such treats. Example: I know guys in Japan who would kill for a box of Paluszki made by Lajkonik. Here we have Canadians craving Knoppers. Etc.
We don’t have much in the way of chocolate selection that isn’t Mars or Kraft. It sucks. Butterfinger are Ferrero, i think? So Italian owned. Peanut, but not the peanut you’re looking for. Who owns Wonderbar? That’s closer to a Snickers, I guess.
Ferrero (who own Nutella/Kinder/Tictac) isn’t that amazing.
Several health & safety issues in the past and afaik their stance on child slavery for chocolate isn’t as different to Nestle.
Send to Sweden please
You can buy them here!
Oh yeah, knoppers are fucking delicious.
Unfortunately it looks like they don’t give a damn about their workers or the planet:
Name a more iconic duo than snack manufacturers and ethical issues…
Ethical issues and Banks Politicians Police Techbros Game indiestrie Hardware manufacturing Food production Fashion Cars …
The list is endless
Absolutely! Homegrown veggies and living in a wooden hut is the answer!
No, but avoiding the worst of the worst like Mondelez and Nestlé is reasonable… Storck aren’t that bad
These are all shitty companies. But if I can decide, I choose the European shitheads.
Tony Chocoloney seem to be decent people.
Oh yeah, and it’s delicious and has some really cool design! (Although not very practical)
Hate their chocolate design with a passion (yes, even with knowing the shite reasoning behind it). Still buying it though, they’re super tasty.
Speaking of tasty:
Their chocolate is second to none.
You could decide not to consume or look for a company that at least tries not to be shite. And or buy small business / local.
Are they anything like Double Deckers?
Asking for a friend.
More like a Time-out
Love me some Cadbury. Shame they’re not sold where I live (Poland)
They’re American owned now. Sad.
Gone downhill since Kraft brought them
Thank-you.
I clearly need to investigate (repeatedly).
Yes they are!
