The "Franui" trend: chocolate-covered raspberries are all the rage
Lately, a little Argentine snack has been making the headlines: Franui. These little sweets are fresh raspberries coated in chocolate, offering a unique blend of freshness and indulgence. Originating in Argentina, they have quickly won over the hearts of chocolate and fruit lovers, and their popularity is beginning to spread beyond our borders ;-) Focus on this new food trend!
What exactly is Franui?
Franui is the perfect combination of the sweetness of raspberries and the crunch of a chocolate shell. What sets them apart is the double coating: first white chocolate, then milk or dark chocolate for a perfect balance between sweetness and bitterness. The contrast between the crunch of the chocolate and the glazed raspberry inside is what makes them so special!
A simple but addictive concept
Franui's popularity has exploded thanks to social media and the brand's clever marketing. The elegant packaging and the promise of a sweet treat to be enjoyed at any time have made them a popular snack not only in Argentina, but internationally too. They can be enjoyed fresh, or even slightly frozen, making them an ideal option for summer or for an icy treat! :-)
