Ferrero Mon CheriThe companion product to the Ferrero Rocher is the Mon Cheri. For a long time I though these had something to do with cherries, so I avoided them. But it turns out that only the European versions are cherry ... the American ones are simply a milk chocolate shell over a whole hazelnut surrounded by hazelnut paste and crushed hazelnuts.
These little morsels are the same size and shape as Ferrero’s devious little Pocket Coffee (well, the little lines on the top of the chocolate are diagonal on the Pocket Coffee).
I’m not quite as keen on these as I am on the Rochers, probably because it’s milk chocolate. If anything, they’re a milk chocolate version of Perugina’s Baci. However, create a heart shaped box with a mix of these, Pocket Coffee and Rochers ... now we’re talking! Note: though these are very high in calories and fat (44% of your RDA of saturated fat in every serving!) they also have 9% of your RDA of calcium and 5% of your RDA of iron.

During Valentine’s Mon Cheri are sold in all sorts of different heart shaped boxes but still not as prevalent as the Ferrero Rocher. But come on, the name alone means it doesn’t need special packaging! I did see a few assortments at the drug store that included Mon Cheri, Raphaello (an almond paste with crushed almonds in a cookie sphere covered with coconut and white chocolate) and, of course, Rochers.

huh, i always thought they had something to do with cherries as well…
Interesting… when I lived in Germany, the Mon Cheri candies I had were filled with a liqueur. And if memory serves me correctly, some with cherries. It’s amazing how things change once the cross the pond.
I’m only familiar with the cherry version of these candies, which are absolutely vile and inedible—they are probably one of the nastiest candies I’ve ever tried, and I’ll eat anything. I would never have dreamed of purchasing them because I presumed they were all the same. I’ve only ever gotten them in the US so there are theoretically stores selling the European versions here.
Somebody help me find some cherry liquer Mon Cheri…. I can’t seem to be able to buy it anywhere. Why is it out of stock?
I haven’t read much of the blog yet, but I don’t think anyone has mentioned or knows about Germandeli.com They have the German version of mon cheri filled with cherries and brandy.
They were one of my favorite candies growing up in Germany and attending Kindergarden for 3 yrs.
http://www.germandeli.com/moncheri1.html
But the reason you’ll most likely find them out of stock is either they’re sold out or it is the summer, and they don’t ship them because the hot weather will evaporate the brandy filling. I have gotten them at a local German store here in MI for around $25 for the 25 pack. A little more tart than I remember, being 5 yrs old at the time.
i can not find any of these candies anywhere ,can you help
if you live here in the USA you can’t find them anymore…they quit making them…i’m thinking about staging a protest…they are my FAVORITE candy!!!
I have bought my daughter this candy for 20+ years for Christmas and this is the first year I can’t find them..I’m really bumbed it’s kind of a tradition with us.
my father absolutely LOVES these!!! we have given him them since we were babies….i am now 27 years old. i have not been able to find these anywhere. please help!!!!!
u guys are nuts. ive never heard of the cherry; dont let the cherry ones taint your perception of the regular hazelnut ones!—they r so damn good, i could open up a wrapper and smell that chocolate allllllll day
I recently received a birthday package from my best friend in Germany. These Ferrero’s Mon Cheri are limited edition and do have the cherry with cherry liquor in them. She was a foreign exchange student in high school. These have long since been my favorite treat, but are only available after September until Valentines.
What is the deal?!! I cannot find Mon Cheri with whole hazlenuts anymore. I always receive this candy from my secret pal, and this year I haven’t gotten any. I even went to several stores, and can’t find them anywhere. If you live in my state… please tell me who sells this very delicious, mouth watering treat!
Where can I purchase Mon Cheri candy? I love this candy, I pray that you bring Mon Cheri candy back on store shelves. Mon Cheri candy is in great demand and great for gifts.
i live in the city of oklahoma city, ok i would like to know where can i purchase this candy from i orginally from new orleans and they sold it at walgreens but since i’ve moved here i can’t find it anywhere.
Ferrero no longer makes the Hazelnut Mon Cheri Candy.. that you used to be able to buy at Walgreens. I can’t find them in any other country either, although, I know they quit making them completely.
please can someone help me find a box of mon cherri’s by ferrero.( only mon cherri’s ) i can find a mixed box but, there is only a few mon cherri’s
I’ve been looking for the Mon Cheri hazelnut chocolate’s for a long time. I was afraid they had stopped making them. I don’t know how I’ll survive without them. They were my guilty pleasure. I’ve always looked forward to Valentine and Christmas so I could buy large boxes. I’ve replaced them with the Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates but, they just don’t compare. Any chance they’ll be available again?????
I can’t seem to Mon Cheri candy in the stores at all. My kids and I were talking about where my name came from and I want them to tast this great candy. I did find it on line at the candy wearhouse. It is very expensive and comes in a box with Ferrero Rocher. If anyone knowes where I can buy the Mon Cheri, I would appricate it you would let me know.
Oh my goodness! I see someone else out there is disturbed as I am about not finding these chocolates. My husband LOVES them and I have been trying my hardest to find them. We used to purchase them at the Navy Commissary in Norfolk, Virginia…even CVS used to carry them. Help! Are they not made any more? or only available at certain times?
I tried searching online but can only find the cherry ones.
I have bought my sister this candy every year for Christmas. Where can you find it? It is her favorite and a tradition that goes back at least 10 years or more. :(
Sorry Dawnie,
Looks like you will have to settle for a picture this year!
Love,
Sissy
I NEED this candy!!!! It was my absolute favorite!! Way better than the “Rocher” candies. I guess you don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone…........ We ALL need to write them @ Ferrero USA and let them know that we NEED this candy back!!!
contact them at:
FERRERO USA INC.
600 Cottontail Lane
Somerset, NJ 08873
Maybe if we all protest, beg, cry, and write them; they’ll listen!!!!
PLEASE HELP!
I have always bought my dad this candy every year since I can remember. I have searched every where to find this. If you did stop making this product please reconsider. I miss this family tradition. My dad doesn’t eat a lot of candy and he is not a big chocolate fan. However he loves this candy and looks forward to it every year. He was very disappointed this year. Please bring it back to the US.
FYI: For those of you who are trying to locate where to get..I buy a 60 pack of Mon Cheri every 6mos from the onlinecandyshop.com. I think around $20.00
So that is why I can’t find the red packages of Mon Cheri hazelnut chocolates any more! I ate them, gave them as gifts, etc. I wondered where they went. I looked up Ferrero on-line, and to contact them, you have to write them.
Please, please, everybody do it now! I want them, also! My favorites. As an alternative, go to Italy (where they use hazelnuts in lots of chocolate) or buy the bags of Perugina Baci chocolates in the blue package - like you always see at Christmas.

My grandfather bought these for my grandmother and me for every occasion, birthday, Valentines Day, Christmas, 4th of July, getting good grades…. When he died in 1988, my grandmother continued the tradition until she became housebound. It made me feel close to him again. Now she is gone and the clerks in the stores that used to carry them have never heard of them before (except for the one lady that had been there for many years).
I want some again. /sniff
I’ve been looking for Mon Cheri for awhile and can’t find them anywhere. I haven’t had any in years and have been wanting some. I hate that they quit making them.
I also can’t find Russell Stover’s chocolate covered cherries anymore either, except for online. I love their cherries.
HOW DARE U STOP MAKING MY FAVORITE CANDY NOW I HAVE TO BY SEE’S FOR VALENTINES DAY FOR MY MOTHER OUTRAGED!!!!!!!!
if you reeeeaaaaally want Mon Cheri then find someone that has family in Puerto Rico and have them send you some!!! Ferrero Puerto Rico still makes them and sells them all the time!! Whenever I go to visit my family I bring back two or three 18-packs. My husband looooooooooves them!!!
Hi!
I’m a big fan of Ferrerro Roche chocolates. I received a wonderful selection of them for the winter holidays of 2008. A generous friend delivered them in-person. I’m also a big fan of amaretto and hazelnut truffles as well as sea-creature-shaped pralines. Would you be interested in participating in a candy consortium?
Regards,
SharonLynne Reynolds
I just love the Mon Cheri ones wrapped in pink!! we only get them round Easter time… wonder what the American nut version would taste like…
Ferro has 3 great chocs available here to us in Namibia… Rocher, Raphaello and ofcourse Mon Cheri wrapped in pink….
BUT the prices have soared like eagles on a gush of wind… wonder how long before we no longer can afford these devine choccies…...
I love, miss and want my Mon Cheri’ with the hazelnut!
Mon Cheri’ with Hazelnut!
Saw this while searching for this hard to find favorite candy of mine online.
Have not try ordering yet so, I can’t make any claim bad or good about the store. http://www.oryans.com/monchhach.html
It’s so funny to see so many people have been looking for this candy like me
. I use to buy them and give them out as a little piece of me. Friends and family were impressed when I gave them a piece of Mon Cheri as a thank you or a lift them up gift. I’ve been looking for the candy for over 5 years since I lost my brother. I use to call him the candy man, because he always carried candy in his pocket and gave it out to children—he was an educator and loved handing out candy to kids. I’m looking for the candy so that I can leave a piece at his grave
site on special occassions. I use to find it a CVS, but have been looking for a while and they no longer sell it. I’m going to try the link that someone else posted on this blog.
Thanks,
Cheri
I LOVE mon cherie, these are my FAVORITE chocolates. It was a ‘tradition’ of mine to get them each Valentine’s day and try my best to preserve them (not the greatest job though, lol). I have been searching and searching to find them now-a-days and can’t :(. I’m glad to hear that they are still out there and I might be able to find them again. If I do, I’m buying them in bulk, lmao!!!
They haven’t completely stopped making them. I am in Taiwan right now working at my aunt’s company for a year, and the hazelnut ones are sold at 7-11s (one on every street corner) in packs of four packaged in a row to look like a skinny candy bar. It’s approximately $1 a pack.
Trish… you need to put them on Ebay.. you’d be making millions from just the people on this blog!! Seriously, let me know when you do! HAHA
I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE MON-CHERI!!! IM IN SOUTH FLORIDA,FROM LONG ISLAND,NY AND I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE MON-CHERI!!I LOVE GOOD CHOCOLATE BUT IM MORE FUSSY THAN MORRIS THE CAT. I LOVE,LOVE,LOVE MON-CHERI!!!!CANT FIND THE LITTLE BASTARDS ANYWHERE!!!
I absolutely love the mon cheri’s with the hazelnut in the middle. You must bring them back immediately. They’re way too delicious of a chocolate to discontinue. Please please bring them back I really wanna get them for myself, for xmas gifts for my family.
