Nuss Dessert Hazelnut Creme Filled Biscuits (Cookies) by Bahlsen - Product Review

When we retired five years ago and relocated south, I left behind many pleasant memories; one of which was the memory of a delicious, light, pastry biscuit (cookie) called Nuss Dessert. For five years, I pined over my loss of not finding this delicious biscuit on the shelves. Finally, I had something akin to an epiphany and believed I had been separated from my beloved confectionery treat long enough! I decided to take action and visited amazon.com to see if I could order the product through their website. Wonder of wonders, Nuss Dessert creme filled hazelnut biscuits were available. Well, I was in a state of euphoria and ordered a carton containing 12 boxes. I cared not about shipping and handling which was not exorbitant. I would soon be reunited with one of my favorite cookies. I was beyond delighted. (The package lists the product as a hazelnut biscuit with creme filling; we would refer to it as a cookie. It is not a biscuit as we commonly refer to a biscuit in this country).

Nuss Dessert hazelnut biscuits with creme filling is made by Bahlsen, a German company which has been in existence since 1889. The company makes a variety of baked items but the Nuss Dessert hazelnut creme filled cookie is one of my favorites. Nuss Dessert Hazelnut biscuits with creme filling is packaged in a blue rectangular box containing 12 oval shaped cookies with a crisscross design on the surface of the top cookie. Between the top and bottom oval shaped cookie is a delicious creme filling--not too sweet and not too bland. The package has a picture of the hazelnut creme filled cookies pictured alongside split hazelnuts along with the Bahlsen logo prominently displayed on each panel of the box. The cookies are packaged two in a compartment in a 6 compartment insert for a total of 12 cookies in each 4.4 oz package.

I have not seen this product in my local supermarkets. Therefore, I am glad I can order them through www.amazon.com.
