Roshen Chocolate Bars: A Blast from the Past
Hello everyone!
I have a confession to make: I've been a sucker for chocolate bars since I was a kid. Back in the 90s, our local convenience stores didn't have a wide selection, so I'd get really excited about the few treats they did have. I remember the mints, the "Golden Key" and "Kis-Kis" lollipops, but they were often really hard and could hurt your teeth or even break a tooth. We also had caramels with jam that I couldn't stand, and the worst were the "Sea Pebbles" with raisins. Given the options, chocolate bars seemed like a luxury. We'd only get them on special occasions, and if we were lucky.
I recently stumbled upon Roshen chocolate bars at the Fresh supermarket, and it brought back a flood of memories. The classic chocolate bar from the Rot Front factory was one of the most beloved treats in the Soviet Union and remains a favorite among candy lovers of all ages.
The rich, slightly crumbly texture of the creamy peanut praline with added cocoa and crunchy waffle bits is truly unique. I was excited to try them again, and I'm happy to report that they still taste great. However, I did notice that the texture has changed a bit - it wasn't as sticky to my teeth before.
The bar is super aromatic, beige in color, looks super appetizing, and feels like home. Everything's still great in it, but the texture has changed a bit. I remember distinctly feeling small peanut and wafer chunks. They were tiny, but still noticeable at times, and now it's just a sticky mess, not unpleasant as some people write, but still not the same as before.
The ingredients have also changed - palm oil was nowhere to be seen, and now it's one of the top ingredients in my favorite bar. What a shame. I have to admit, I'm not a fan of trying new foods if I'm allergic to certain ingredients. For me, that means no products with milk or egg protein. I'd also add people with peanut allergies to that list.

I bought them at the Fresh supermarket, but they're readily available everywhere. Interestingly, I noticed the price on online marketplaces is lower than in stores – usually they just take advantage of us.

The wrapper is a heart's delight – that precious red-and-beige design. It's made of food-grade paper and simply twisted at the edges. There's a bit of info about the chocolates on it.
