If someone is looking for an alternative that is...
...you can have a look at the products from Kojake.

EdKa = Snickers
KaRi = Mars
HaRi = Ferroro Rocher / Hanuta / Kรผsschen bar
Just at triple the price per Kilo...
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 have a snickers problem that needs to be a knoppers problem. Please send the goods to Canada.
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).
Yeah, Netherlands has both!

Knoppers are Europeanโฝ
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 mรผsli bars! Guess you can tell Germans like hiking, huh?
And for Sweden I also like me some Kex.
And as a north German I like to buy Turkish Pepper which is made in Denmark
Yes Germany
Yeah, I just looked them up!
Wunderbar!
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.
I always get my mom to bring me knoppers when she comes to visit me in Canada from the UK.
Where's the replacement for
Doesn't Lidl or Aldi make copycats for most of these, including bounty? they usually come in multiples in a bag.
Not a real replacement but Raffaello does the job.
How about Rapunzel Kokos Happen / Glรผcksstรผcke (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.
That was exactly my thought process recently when looking for a candy bar ๐
Are they anything like Double Deckers?
Asking for a friend.
More like a Time-out
Thank-you.
I clearly need to investigate (repeatedly).
Love me some Cadbury. Shame they're not sold where I live (Poland)
Gone downhill since Kraft brought them
Unfortunately it looks like they don't give a damn about their workers or the planet:
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.
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.
Flipped a few Snickers, Tuc and Milka in the market today, then bought a Knoppers.
Yes they are!
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.
