Just tried them this week, and they're really good!
I was going to give a shout-out to Whittakers of New Zealand, makers of the world's best chocolate, but it seems they don't export to the US. Maybe you could lobby them?
It is insanely good chocolate. Peanut slabs are sooooo delicious.
That was exactly my thought process recently when looking for a candy bar 😅
Flipped a few Snickers, Tuc and Milka in the market today, then bought a Knoppers.
They are hands down the best candybar. Closely followed by pigall and kex
Knoppers are so good. The nut wapper wrap around is the best.
Thanks for posting this ad.
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!
Howd you do the panicked question mark?
It's an interrobang
It's a specific unicode character, though most keyboards don't just type it for you.
- On Linux I use the Cinnamon desktop with Cinnamenu, if I hit the super key and start typing “interrobang” it selects the correct result for me quite quickly, I hit the enter key and it's copied to my clipboard.
- On my smartphone I use SwiftKey which has a clipboard manager where you can pin copied text and ads a tag for it; I pinned it with the tag
ibso when I type “ib” it suggests that interrobang. This works both on Android and iOS.
Also, on macOS you could use the character picker (hit the fn key on an Apple keyboard) and search it in a similar way.
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...
What does ecologic mean in this context?
Meant to say organic. ;)
I always get my mom to bring me knoppers when she comes to visit me in Canada from the UK.
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).
Mogens halb 10 in Deutschland...
knoppers is just awesome
Morgens halb 10 in Europa!
Aye that's what I can get behind.
These things are so good it should be illegal. I wouldn't even compare them to Mars or Snickers, they are in a higher class.
I'd go into diabetic shock for a box of knoppers
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!
Where's the replacement for
Knoppers coconut of course
Doesn't Lidl or Aldi make copycats for most of these, including bounty? they usually come in multiples in a bag.
I actually don't eat chocolates, so it's not something I look for 😅. But one of the few I actually liked and everyone else seems to hate is this one. I would need to check in one of those places, but considering that I'm not in a central european country and we only get a very small sample of products from those supermarkets I'm not so sure. At least considering that it's a fringe chocolate.
Not a real replacement but Raffaello does the job.
How about Rapunzel Kokos Happen / Glücksstücke (same product, two names)? German / Ecological. The bittersweet version is vegan and tastes great, the milkchocolate version isn't.

Oh yeah, knoppers are fucking delicious.
Yes they are!
