These chocolate Cream Sandwich Cookies from Glutino (made in Germany) were very good, especially for gluten-free baked goods. Although, this qualification is starting to change, as gluten-free items improve over time.

Glutino makes wheat-free, gluten-free, egg-free and related specialty foods.

Oriol Balaguer
"Especias" - spiced hazelnut praline
Very Good
Wt: ~.5 oz.
Calories: ~ 80 cals.
Cost: $1.50
Purchased from: CocoaBella Chocolates, in San Francisco, CA

I love these innovative flavor combinations Oriol Balaguer has put together. His other chocolates I've tried had ingredients like tangerine pop rocks, or toasted corn nut pieces. This one was somewhat tame by comparison. There was a taste I couldn't identify in this one (olive?). I hope I'm able to travel to Barcelona one day and visit their shop in Spain.
