I will take weird Swedish licorice and salt bs any day over reeses.
If you are trying to buy European in the US - this brand is available in Aldi. Aldi has great chocolate
Aldi's is the shit. I hate to sound like a shill, but they really are. No marketing, no bs apps or reward programs. Just no nonsense groceries. They beat prices by a large margin in my area.
I've bought them often. It's really good as is the hazelnut.
I have never seen this flavour. I love Schogetten and Iโm a sucker for peanut butter. Something tells me you found them in the UK?
They are real, I got them on Carnival in Germany :)
Mein Rewe hat sie:
Morgen direkt nach der Arbeit hin โค๏ธ
I know I've heard that term before, and I could just Google it, but it's more fun to learn from someone: what does it mean to be "on Carnival"?
There are a lot of different traditions depending on the region, my experience is from the surrounding of the one and only capital of German carnival: Cologne. I would say it mostly consists of three parts:
-
traditional events in larger halls, consisting of a mixture of music and dance groups and satirical/funny speeches in dialect. This usually starts with the beginning of the "Session" on 11 nov and ends Veilchendienstag (mardi gras), with most events being in the new year.
-
the parades from Weiberfastnacht (fat thursday) until the day before Aschermittwoch. In my region, every little village/town/district (or as we call it "Veedel") has its own parade, visited also by many people from the neighboring villages. Groups usually either make music or throw sweets (called "Kamelle" in this context - with a short and intonated first "e", don't confuse it with "Kamele" with a long first "e", meaning camels). This is where I got my Schogetten.
-
partying in the streets, in pubs or clubs. Mainly on 11 November and between fat thursday and mardi gras.
On the evening of mardi gras, the "Nubbel" is burned at many events - a paper figure, often displayed on pubs during the main days, and he is held responsible for every bad thing happening during carnival (e.g. if you spent all your money, kissed another person, drank too much).
I tend to stay in the suburb where I grew up and rarely go to central cologne during the main days, because it is overly crowded and many tourists and adolescents drink too much. Drinking Kรถlsch is a large part of carnival, but you shouldn't exaggerate it, of course :) in my suburb, I meet people where I went to school or did sports or other hobbies with in my youth. This really is one thing I look forward to every year.
I hope this helps, let me know if you would like anything else to know :)
That was such a great explanation, thank you so very much!
To be completely fair, I found that picture on the Internet ๐
If only...
I freaking love Schogetten!!!
We need this in canadian grocers!
The German dedication to variety in Chocolate flavouring is impressive. Ritter Sport could make their own catalogue.
For a while, I got addicted to Ritter Sport, but then inflation made it too expensive to me...
Also Ritter Sport is not the kind of business that dies good things. Quite the opposite actually.
My favorite.
Ah, this was my favourite as a kid. But by the time I could buy the chocolate I want I already had to watch my weight. Life sucks.
I bet this is really tasty.
Schogett it!
Did you think I'd Schogotten?
American: that looks a million times better, especially compared to the current version on store shelves that just tastes like sugar wax, Reese's used to be at the very least "okay" years ago.
I love these! Don't even know what Reese's is, tbh, but I know these are delicious
Go to your local Aldi's, get some of this actual good chocolate. Moser Roth is also good
Where can I get this state side?
Reece's is way too sweet anyways. Just thinking about it makes my teeth hurt.
My mother used tu buy a German? Austrian? Chocolate at Lidl when I was a child... Something along the lines of "edelram"? I don't remember it clearly, but I remember the flavor ๐คค
These are womderful, with a variety of flavours. Downside: one piece is not enough.
