Packaging comparison: Italian chocolate vs. Ferrero Rocher

I've heard that the food in Italy is good. Carolina's parents send us care packages. They include pasta, chocolate, books, and sauces. These items are better than what I find here. Ferrero Rocher is widely available in the U.S. and is a similar chocolate. Italian chocolate tastes smoother and more like Nutella. Ferrero Rocher tastes waxy and bland.
