Made with kids in mind ("kinder" means "kid" in German), the Kinder Joy is a plastic egg that splits into separate sealed halves. One half is a dessert cup filled with two layers of cream--one sweet milk-flavored and the other cocoa-flavored that's meant to be eaten with an included spoon. Nestled in the cream are two chocolate-covered wafer spheres filled with sweet cocoa cream.
In the other half there's a "surprise" toy which is similar in concept to what you might find in a cereal or Cracker Jacks box.
Kinder Joy can be found starting this Friday, November 24, 2017 at Walmart stores nationwide. They're exclusive to Walmart for a 30-day window after which they'll be available at retailers everywhere. The suggested price is $1.59 per egg.
Ferrero also makes a similar product called Kinder Surprise, which is a hollow chocolate egg with a surprise toy inside, but they're illegal in the US due to a law that basically bans the sale of candy embedded with any sort of toy due to safety concerns (namely that very young children might accidentally eat the toy).
