Chocolate Santas from Brookhaven Deliver Holiday Delight

Holiday Treat: Kinder three-pack of chocolate Santa Clauses from Brookhaven Marketplace

Cost: $3.99

Sugarplum rating*: @@@

The foil-wrapped, chocolate Santas at  pull double duty—not only are they delicious, they also have golden strings attached to the top so you can hang them as ornaments.

Sold in a three-pack, the Kinder brand Santa Claus chocolates are a delicate treat. Under the foil wrapper, the chocolate is molded into a fully formed Santa, complete with a cute little St. Nick face.

The candy itself is hollow, with a thin outer layer of milk chocolate coated with white chocolate on the inside. The two layers melt together into a sweet, salty delight.

Imported from Germany, the chocolate has a creamy texture that seems to have a high butterfat content. Because of the butterfat, the chocolate flavor lingers long after the candy melts away.

This little trio of Santas is a perfect treat to bring for children if you're going to visit a family on Christmas Day. They'll like the colorful wrappers and love the scrumptious candy inside.
