Chocolat Frey arrives: Ebelskiver Chocolate Filled Pancakes

February 18, 2016 By Shelley Zurek 549 Comments

Swiss Chocolate Frey Debuts in US!

Frey Everyday SelectionYippee! I get to introduce the #1 Swiss Chocolate–to the US Market!

I cannot contain my excitement! Chocolat Frey is coming to the US! Myself and a group of 24 other bloggers have been chosen to make sure you know before anyone else! Ssshhh!

Küsnacht Switerland Chocolat Frey

The picturesque town of Kusnacht, Switzerland where I (and Tina Turner) lived. 

As you may know, I lived in Switzerland when my children were babies. As a Swiss housewife (hausfrau), I went to grocery every day or every other day, as the kitchen and fridges were micro-sized.  Whenever you were standing in the checkout line at the local Migros grocery store (like a small Kroger), you would see other hausfraus, older couples, and young singles in line. ALWAYS, tucked into their grocery selections, were three to seven chocolate bars. Yes, three to seven bars of chocolate. Per. Person.

Most always all the purchases were Chocolat Frey bars. You see Chocolat Frey is the #1 Chocolate in Switzerland. Walt seems to agree with the Swiss as he has been having a healthy serving of the Chocolat Frey Crunchy Nuts bars every night after dinner. He loves the big whole hazelnuts and the caramelized hazelnut pieces.

Chocolat Frey Crunchy Nuts bars

The Chocolat Frey Milk Crunchy Nuts bars are a quite large when compared to American chocolate bars. With your first bite of premium Swiss chocolate, you will be thrilled to know Chocolat Frey is steeped in Swiss tradition, the rich history of Chocolat Frey® began in 1887 with two brothers, Robert and Max Frey. 100% of Choocolat Frey products are exclusively manufactured in Switzerland following a bean to bar process that produces exquisite chocolate for those luxurious moments.

I just love it because the chocolate tastes like heaven. Take these darling Chocolate Frey bunnies for instance:

Chocolat Frey Bunny - Lucky Sunny Funny
How adorable are these sweet bunnies? Their names are Funny, Lucky and Sunny. You are going to want to get your kids one of each (they come in 1.9oz and 6 oz size). Remember when you were little and you’d receive fun chocolate bunnies in your Easter basket? They were so cute but they tasted like YUCK. Your experience will never be like that with these Swiss Premium darlings. In fact, you better buy some for yourself or you will find yourself swiping them from the kids.

Where to purchase Chocolat Frey?

Okay! I know I convinced you but where can you get your hands on these gems? I can assure you that you WILL be purchasing seven bars at a time just like the Swiss do. When available, you can find Chocolat Frey at great stores near you!

    Hope no bunnies were hurt in the making of the pancakes! 🙂 Although, I’m sure it’s ok for chocolate bunnies to be used in making these yummy looking pancakes. Wow! The chocolate looks gooey and warm. A rich chocolate taste. It’s chocolate cake day, and some Frey chocolate would be great to add to a cake.

    While I wouldn’t want to go to the store everyday – really, it’s just that I’m not used to doing things that way – I wouldn’t mind chocolate everyday. Sounds yummy to me! Great recipe adding them to pancakes. Chocolate goes amazingly with so many things! 🙂
