I absolutely adore these (specifically the pistachio one <3 <3 <3, reminds me of pistachio gelato), but from what I can gather on the Net they are only available in Europe. And, unfortunately, Europe is not a place I go to frequently. I even ventured into Europe-Ebay to look, but I haven’t found any sellers that’ll ship over here, I can’t read German, and I like to avoid Ebay if I can.

If anyone knows if I can find these in the states, I would be sooo unbelievably grateful, you have no idea.

The strawberry one is good too *licks lips*

I think you are right, I don’t find anyone selling these in N. America.

There is this link, but you have to be patient for the shipping time from Germany to USA. Product cost 48%, shipping cost 52%. Still, if you love them 18 bucks is not too bad. The long shipping time could add risk to the product.

I really like them too. So here in Germany I am able to find all of them. There is a box with a mix of the different flavors and u can also buy them as a single bar.
Maybe u will find a good shop on ebay or someone who would like to swap with u smile

How long can you keep Ferrero Rocher’s fresh was the question.  I did a rather extravagant candy bar for my daughters wedding.  These were a candy she loved.  I searched and searched the internet with no answer to the question that really pleased me so I decided to go on my own quest for the answer.  I bought up all the Rochers left over after Christmas this year at the store (the ones in the little clear bells at half price).  I unboxed them and placed them single layer in a vacuum sealed pouch and sucked all the air out until the packaging was very hard to the touch.  I made a pouch containing just a few so that I could check them periodically for taste and freshness.  I kept the house no more than 75 degrees.  We live in the deep south so it can get very hot here.  I placed them in a dark cabinet.  I taste tested the small package 3 weeks before the wedding (enough time to reorder another candy to replace them if they’d turned bad).  Ummm.  Still awesome.  Still crunchy.  Still the right color of chocolate.  The wedding was July 20th.  So I managed to keep these fresh and tasty for 6 months once they were in my keeping.  At the price I paid what a bargain and my guests thought I was extravagant.
