A Confectionery Crossover
A new design doing the rounds online combines two of Europe’s biggest confectionery names: Haribo and Ferrero. The mockup shows a classic Haribo share bag, but for a ‘Kinder Bueno White Mix’. The concept hinges on translating the distinct flavours of the white chocolate and hazelnut cream wafer bar into a bag of gummy and jelly sweets.
This is an ambitious idea. While food brands frequently collaborate, partnerships between direct confectionery competitors are far less common. The proposed product would see the German giant Haribo interpreting a flagship product from Italian powerhouse Ferrero, a move that would require a complex licensing agreement. The design itself leverages the familiar yellow Haribo bag, adding the distinctive blue and white branding of the Kinder Bueno White bar, creating a plausible-looking hybrid.
Haribo’s Real-World Collaborations
Haribo’s history with brand partnerships is selective. The most prominent example in their portfolio is the collaboration with another German institution, Ritter Sport. The ‘Ritter Sport Haribo’ bar is a real product, but it operates in the reverse of this concept: it embeds mini Haribo Goldbears within a milk chocolate square, rather than creating a Haribo sweet that tastes of chocolate.
This precedent shows Haribo is open to working with other brands, but typically on its own terms and often within its home market. A Kinder Bueno mix would represent a significant departure, moving from a product inclusion to full flavour emulation. It would be the first time a Haribo gummy product was directly based on the taste profile of another company’s chocolate bar.
The Sharing Bag Market
The choice of a sharing bag format is central to the concept’s believability. This is Haribo’s core territory, a section of the supermarket aisle dominated by its legacy products. Any new flavour would need to find space alongside the brand’s heavyweights, which are themselves available in multiple sizes.
The current range includes the foundational Starmix, Supermix, and Goldbears Sweets Sharing Bags, alongside Tangfastics for the sour market and more niche bags like Bone Shakers. For bigger gatherings, the company scales up with the Haribo Starmix and Tangfastics Sweets Tubs. A Kinder Bueno White Mix would need to carve out a distinct identity to compete with this established and hugely popular lineup.
What the real range looks like
Haribo’s current UK range is built on classics like Starmix, Supermix, Goldbears, and Tangfastics, sold in sharing bags and tubs. While the brand has a real collaboration with Ritter Sport, a sweet mix based on another confectionery brand like Kinder Bueno White would be a completely new venture for its UK gummy products.

Frequently asked questions
- What flavours would be in a Haribo Kinder Bueno White Mix?
- The concept suggests sweets that would mimic the taste of a Kinder Bueno White bar. This would likely involve flavours of white chocolate, hazelnut cream, and wafer, translated into a gummy or foam sweet format.
- Do Haribo make any other chocolate-flavoured sweets?
- Haribo’s UK range does not typically feature chocolate-flavoured sweets. Their main brand crossover, the Ritter Sport Haribo bar, involves Haribo gummies being an ingredient inside a chocolate product, not the other way around.
- Is the Haribo Kinder Bueno White Mix a real product?
- No, this product is not real. It is a Snackfish — a fictional concept product designed by the online creative page UK Snack Attack. It is not made by Haribo or Ferrero and is not available for purchase.
