   Ferrero Rocher (left) are widespread internationally, while Pocket Coffee, with their filling of *liquid* espresso, are rarer abroad. A couple of these are a delicious surrogate for a real espresso 😋

   The Mon Chéri (center), with their cherry core floating in vodka, are hard to find in the US because they might require a liquor license! 🍒

     @neffscape Oh, you're right!

     I looked it up, and got an answer probably based on the "Cherry Club" variant.

     @codewiz it's cherry liquor not vodka! I love all three of them (not at the same time).

     @neffscape Oh, but there is also this:

     "Cherry 'brandy' is traditionally the largest category of cherry liqueurs. A confusing term as most of these liqueurs are actually made by macerating cherries in neutral spirit (vodka) rather than brandy. Some might also contain brandy, but in most markets this is not a legal requirement."

     So... are Mon Chéri made of real cherry brandy or cherry infused alcohol? Either way, they're delicious 😋
