I saw candy in the store that looks very similar to Rafaello. I could not resist and bought it. This is not a 100% copy, but it is clearly visible from which product they tried to copy. Let's show you what the box looks like.
The box, although not square, is designed in similar colors. White packaging, red font, "window" - all this reminds of Rafaello. There is a description of the sweets on the side of the package.
The text is interesting, but clearly at odds with the ingredients in the composition. It is written: “glazed with white chocolate”, - we look at the composition, but there is not a word about cocoa butter. This means that there is no chocolate in these sweets.
Instead of cocoa butter, it's palm oil. Which is logical, because the cost of a box of chocolates is only 130 rubles. Otherwise, the composition of the sweets for that kind of money is quite tolerable. It's time to look inside the box.
Inside a handful of individually wrapped sweets. In addition to the image of what the candy looks like inside, there is the manufacturer's address on the wrapper. This is done so that you can sell sweets by weight. I wonder if the candy will look like a drawing from a wrapper?
As I expected, the candy itself is very different from its image. Even with the naked eye, it is clear that they have saved on coconut flakes. In the description of sweets there is a phrase: "give yourself a taste of lightness" - apparently they regretted coconut shavings for this very reason, in order to keep lightness. I hope at least the taste of tenderness remains.
Surprisingly, I liked the taste of sweets. He cannot be compared with Rafaello, but for his money it is very good. There is no sugary sweetness found in cheap candy. And most importantly, palm oil, although felt, is not strong.
They put whole almonds inside, they did not deceive in this. Moreover, the nut is quite large, it seems to me, even more than in Rafaello. It's time to summarize.
The sweets are very similar in taste and appearance to Rafaello. Only the form factor, name and price differ. For that kind of money, it is difficult to create a festive mood, as the manufacturer suggests. But to please yourself with a cup of tea in the office or at home is just right.
