Each pack comes with two individually wrapped fingers, divided into segments, making it easy to break and share. Over the years, Ferrero has expanded the range to include white chocolate versions and other flavour twists, adding even more excitement for fans. Many people have happily enjoyed the bars without ever knowing what the name actually means. According to the Daily Record, a recent post on Reddit's Candy forum sparked fresh curiosity, with users puzzling over the mix of languages in the name. One Reddit user speculated whether the name reflected Ferrero's international ambitions, and they weren't far off. As reported by TechEdt, Michele Ferrero, the man behind the brand, deliberately chose names from different languages to help his products stand out in global markets. According to Kinder's official website, the name Bueno was picked because it highlights the chocolate's delicious taste. BBC reports confirm that Ferrero wanted to create a bar that felt more sophisticated and indulgent than other chocolate treats available at the time. The Kinder range doesn't stop with Bueno. Kinder has been busy exciting fans with a wave of new products hitting supermarket shelves. Shoppers have been flocking to B&M to get their hands on Kinder's latest snack – the Crunchy Cookies. Packed with milk and white chocolate chips, these cookies come in a pack of eight and are being promoted as the perfect match with a cold glass of milk. Priced at just £2.99 per pack, they've been flying off the shelves, with many customers eagerly sharing their excitement online. Some have already stocked up, while others are planning trips to their local B&M to grab more. Fans online have called them 'delicious' and said they wish they'd bought extra packs. B&M already carries a wide range of Kinder favourites, including the classic Kinder Bueno bars, Kinder Surprise Eggs, and Happy Hippos. But Kinder's recent launches haven't stopped at cookies. Last November, the brand brought back Kinder Bueno ice creams to UK supermarkets, offering two tempting flavours: Kinder Bueno Classic and Kinder Bueno White. These ice cream cones feature smooth hazelnut ice cream topped with a piece of Kinder Bueno chocolate, wrapped in a crispy wafer cone with a crunchy hazelnut-cocoa centre and finished with cocoa sprinkles. Priced at £4.95 and available at Morrisons, these treats have sparked excitement among shoppers, many of whom remember loving them from their previous limited release. Ferrero UK confirmed the launch, noting that the cones had already been a hit across Europe and Ireland before arriving in the UK market. Shoppers have taken to social media to share their delight, calling the ice cream cones 'amazing' and urging friends to grab them before they sell out again.

How to save money on chocolate We all love a bit of chocolate from now and then, but you don't have to break the bank buying your favourite bar. Consumer reporter Sam Walker reveals how to cut costs... Go own brand - if you're not too fussed about flavour and just want to supplant your chocolate cravings, you'll save by going for the supermarket's own brand bars. Shop around - if you've spotted your favourite variety at the supermarket, make sure you check if it's cheaper elsewhere. Websites like let you compare prices on products across all the major chains to see if you're getting the best deal. Look out for yellow stickers - supermarket staff put yellow, and sometimes orange and red, stickers on to products to show they've been reduced. They usually do this if the product is coming to the end of its best-before date or the packaging is slightly damaged. Buy bigger bars - most of the time, but not always, chocolate is cheaper per 100g the larger the bar. So if you've got the appetite, and you were going to buy a hefty amount of chocolate anyway, you might as well go bigger.

People only just learn what Kinder Bueno actually means after 35 years
Chocolate lovers are only just learning what Kinder Bueno's name actually means after enjoying them for 35 years - with many saying they're amongst their favourite treats and deserve a 10/10 rating They've been on supermarket shelves for 35 years - but still many Kinder Bueno fans have no idea what the chocolate bar's name actually means. The popular chocolate, made by Italian confectionery maker Ferrero, is made up of a hazelnut-cream-filled wafer covered in milk chocolate and has a dark chocolate drizzle on top. They launched in 1990 across 60 countries - and have become a go-to with chocolate-lovers all over the world ever since. However, its name has left some fans puzzled, especially because it incorporates various languages. One confused Reddit user asked: "Kinder is German. Bueno is Spanish. And Kinder Bueno's are Italian." According to Kinder's website, the name was simply inspired by the taste of the chocolate. While it's widely known 'kinder' translates to 'children' in German, a statement e reads: "Bueno means 'tasty' or 'good' in Spanish and we think it captures the chocolate bar's exceptional taste." It adds: "Kinder Bueno is a unique chocolate bar with a taste experience that defies expectation. "Michele Ferrero created Kinder Bueno in 1990. He wanted to create a chocolate bar that was more refined and sophisticated than anything else that existed in the marketplace. "So, he created Kinder Bueno, an extraordinary chocolate bar that has a unique combination of textures and flavours and a delicate dark chocolate drizzle to top it off. "We carefully select all ingredients according to our high standards of excellence in quality, freshness, and we are committed to their environmental sustainability. "Kinder Bueno is sold in packs containing two individually wrapped bars; we recommend eating one individually wrapped bar as a serving of Kinder Bueno!" Sharing their thoughts on the popular chocolate bar, one user said: "Love them so much. I could eat them forever." Another user added: "I love them but wish they weren't individually wrapped." A third user said: "Top three favourite for me." One more user added: "Original, it's one of the many best chocolates out there! Grew up eating threes and their just so delicious! That creamy hazelnut filling is so irresistible, and that chocolate and water outer mixes really well with the filling. 20/10 chocolate for me!" Another user said: "One of my favourite, non-Norwegian chocolates. Some people seem to think they're too light and lacking in density, but I personally like the consistency of it." A final user added: "I bought a family share size like the big big ones and is just ploughed thought it in a night. Never felt so much shame. Until I bought another big ass bag family sized and did it again. "People talk so much about nerds clusters and those are so mid and stale after like two pieces. These are essentially crack in the brain. 10/10."

EWU graduates first class of nursing program
May 2—The first cohort of a new nursing program at Eastern Washington University flipped their tassels from the right to the left during a commencement ceremony Friday morning. The crowd in the Reese Court arena on the Cheney campus cheered and stomped the bleachers. "You are now an Eagle for life," Kelsey Hatch-Brecek, director of the alumni association, told the new graduates of the College of Health Science and Public Health. "Our alumni community is filled with entrepreneurs, innovators, leaders, artists, scientists, athletes and changemakers. And today, we get to add nurses to that list." The School of Nursing, which began in fall 2023, graduated 40 students with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Of those students, 37 are from in-state, most are from Eastern Washington and most have jobs lined up at local hospitals. Donna Bachand, nursing program administrator and department chair, believes the program will help address the state's nursing shortage. Washington ranks high among states facing a severe nursing shortage, according to the federal Health Resources and Services Administration, with an estimated shortfall of more than 13,000 registered nurses. The program based at EWU's Spokane campus is about a decade in the making. Bachand took the helm seven years ago and spent much of that working through regulations to build the program until it received funding from the Legislature in 2022. "The pandemic really highlighted the deep need the region has for nurses," Bachand said. The first class had 132 applications, including 80 EWU students who had done prerequisite coursework. "I don't know how to describe what it's like sitting in a room by yourself for years before hiring faculty and seeing your first student, but today is the culminating event," Bachand said. "My heart was beating on the front row, thinking please don't cry at the microphone. It's very emotional. It's just gratifying." Alexana Bueno is a first-generation college student from the Tri-Cities who will return there to work as an oncology nurse working with cancer patients at Kadlec Regional Medical Center, where she interned. Her path to graduation hasn't been easy. She moved from Washington to Mexico when she was only a few years old and returned when she was 17, speaking little English. She picked up the language during her last two years of high school. Compassion that nurses showed her when members of her family were dying inspired her to work in health care. Her father died when she was a child in Mexico. She couldn't see him when he was in the hospital, but the nurses talked to her about how he was doing. Then, after she returned to the United States, her brother had a stroke. "Again, nurses were there for me," Bueno said. "They took excellent care of him. He passed, but they were always there for me and my family." Bueno said support from EWU's College Assistance Migrant Program helped her navigate college life, especially as she commuted two-hours each way from the Tri-Cities until she found housing. "They helped me so much because my English was limited, they explained everything to me," Bueno said. The nursing program also was challenging because she had to learn medical terms in English, but her teachers and classmates supporter her through it. "I know it is going to be an adjustment, but I'm really excited to go back to my community and serve as a nurse there," Bueno said. She wrote "Borderless Dreams" in cursive on her graduation cap. "I'm very proud of all of our grads," Bachand said. "I'm very proud of the work my faculty have done to help them reach this milestone in their career paths. I can't wait to see what they do." EWU's nursing school will compliment other nursing programs in the area. Gonzaga University is graduating 76 bachelor of science in nursing graduates this spring along with 107 masters of science in nursing and 12 doctors of nursing practice, according to spokesman Dan Nailen. Washington State University is graduating about 245 undergraduate nurses and another 67 with advanced degrees across the Spokane, Tri-Cities, Yakima and Vancouver campuses, spokeswoman Gina Raebel said. James Hanlon's reporting for The Spokesman-Review is funded in part by Report for America and by members of the Spokane community.

Bites & Crumbs: Egypt's Homegrown Answer to the Crumbl Cookie Craze
Local, high-quality ingredients and homemade indulgence, that's just how the cookie crumbles at cloud bakery Bites & Crumbs. Apr 16, 2025 For months, Crumbl Cookie reviews from the US have flooded our feeds, tempting us with thick, gooey cookies we couldn't get our hands on. But now, Bites & Crumbs is bringing that same indulgence to Cairo, offering handcrafted cookies and desserts with a local twist. Founder and baker Motaz Osman has been passionate about baking since childhood. 'I grew up watching my mother bake, and as I got older, I became more involved,' he tells SceneEats. Baking eventually became his love language. 'I fell in love with making desserts, and I started gifting everything I made to friends and loved ones.' His passion soon turned into a dream of opening his own bakery. This year, he finally took the leap, launching Bites & Crumbs as a delivery-only bakery serving New Cairo. Inspired by the Crumbl Cookie craze, Osman perfected his own recipe—crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and made entirely from high-quality local ingredients. The menu features indulgent flavours like pistachio cream, Lotus, and rich dark chocolate. But cookies aren't the only stars of the show—his fudge brownies and decadent dessert jars (think konafa pistachio, Bueno, and Nutella) are just as irresistible. And it's all handmade by Osman himself—sometimes even delivered by him, too. 'I prioritise using local, high-quality ingredients,' he shares. 'Everything is made with the same care as a homemade treat.' So if you're craving warm, chewy indulgence this Ramadan without leaving your home, Bites & Crumbs might just be your new go-to.
