“The well-balanced, rich, and sweet flavor of Lavazza’s signature Classico blend is the perfect pairing for the crispy, creamy hazelnut in Kinder Bueno,” said Shalini Stansberry, Vice President of Marketing, Kinder Snacking. “Even just one bite of a crisp wafer filled with creamy hazelnut filling, covered in milk chocolate is enough to elevate your coffee ritual this National Coffee Day.”

“Some of life’s best moments happen over coffee and chocolate, which is why it made complete sense to partner with Kinder Bueno for National Coffee Day,” said Jonathan Lehr, Marketing Director for Lavazza North America, Inc. “There’s nothing like sipping, not gulping, your favorite coffee beverage, paired with a delicious chocolate bar. We can’t wait to see how consumers enjoy their everyday coffee moments this year.”

To help consumers savor their coffee moments, Kinder Bueno and Lavazza are giving away a one-year supply of Kinder Bueno bars and Lavazza Classico Coffee. Up to 10 lucky additional winners will also receive a coffee break kit including Kinder Bueno bars, Lavazza Classico Medium Roast ground coffee, a double wall stainless steel vacuum insulated mug and Hairo Coffee Dripper.
