Kinder’s lesser-known cousin, Kinder Joy, which is their cocoa cream offering with two crispy wafer bites and a tiny paper spoon included, now contains a Super Mario surprise inside, aimed at tweens.
There are 23 toys and accessories to collect across Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Yoshi and friends, with school accessories including backpack hangers, pencil decorations, highlighters, paperclips and figurines.
“We’re thrilled to kick off our biggest season of collaborations,” said Azzurra Puricelli, Head of Marketing and New Business at Ferrero.
“Across Kinder Surprise and Kinder Joy, we’re bringing together the stories and characters families already love, from timeless Disney tales and hands-on PLAYMOBIL play, to the trend-led excitement of Super Mario.”
Kinder fans were frothing over the reveal on social media.
“Simply love it!!” wrote one follower.
“Wow! We love them!!!!” added another.
“They are sooo good,” wrote parenting influencer and mum-of-three Alyssa Jane, calling them the “perfect gift, mum hack and afternoon pick me up for kids”.
“Dunno if it’s me or Harvey that gets more excited to see which Disney character we got,” fitness influencer and mum-of-two Steph Claire Smith commented on a video of her son cracking open one of the choccie treats.
“31, no kids, just me buying Kinder Surprise eggs and hoping to eventually collect all the tiny Disney characters like the responsible adult I am,” joked another fan.
Disney superfan Ayrton Guillaume, who showed off his haul on Instagram, having collected all 18 characters, said: “Honestly this collection is quite awesome!”
He pointed out: “I love how it’s not another ‘oh Disney, so let’s do the princesses!’ collection and that we have gotten a few rarer Disney characters like Hercules and Meg (my two favourites for sure), Miguel and Hector, Pinocchio and Geppetto!”
The collaboration is running until January 2027 and is available in two formats – single eggs and three-packs, which is perfect for parents of more than one little choccie lover.
“With two iconic eggs offering different ways to discover, play and connect, there’s a Kinder moment for every stage of growing up,” Ms Puricelli said.
