Cri Cri Savoy - 12 Venezuelan Crisped Rice Chocolate Bars

The crunch every Venezuelan recognizes. Cri Cri is milk chocolate packed with toasted rice crisps, pressed into small 27 g bars. It has been a checkout-counter staple in Venezuela since 1970, and this is the same bar, imported.

What you get

• 12 bars of 27 g each, 324 g total (11.4 oz)
• Milk chocolate with crisped rice throughout, scored into small squares
• Individually wrapped, so they travel and share well
• Made by Nestlé Venezuela at the Santa Cruz de Aragua plant

Why people order it

• Nostalgia. If you grew up in Venezuela, this is the bar from the corner store, unchanged.
• It shares easily. Twelve individually wrapped bars work for a household, an office drawer, or a lunchbox rotation.
• The texture is the point. The rice crisps stay crunchy inside the chocolate. It is closer to a crisp bar than to a plain milk chocolate.

Frequently asked questions

What is Cri Cri chocolate?

Cri Cri is a Venezuelan milk chocolate bar with toasted rice crisps mixed through it, made by Savoy under Nestlé Venezuela. The crisped rice runs through the whole bar rather than sitting in a layer, which is what gives it the crunch it is named for. The standard bar is 27 g.

How is Cri Cri different from other crisped rice chocolate bars?

Cri Cri uses a softer, milkier chocolate than most American crisp bars, and the rice pieces are smaller and more densely packed. Venezuelans who try US equivalents usually describe those as drier. It is also scored into small squares rather than sold as one solid slab.

How long has Cri Cri been around?

Savoy launched a chocolate with puffed rice in 1970 and gave it the Cri Cri name in 1980. Savoy itself was founded in Caracas in 1941 and became part of Nestlé in 1988.

Is this the same Cri Cri sold in Venezuela?

Yes. These are the 27 g bars produced by Nestlé Venezuela at its Santa Cruz de Aragua plant in Aragua state, imported into the United States. There is no separate export formula.

Does a 12-bar box make a good gift?

It works well as a small nostalgia gift for someone Venezuelan, and it pairs naturally with other Savoy bars or with a Venezuelan candy box. Twelve individually wrapped bars also let one box cover several people.
