Help me find identify this chocolate

[spunkarella]

My neighbor's niece is visiting from Romania, and she is trying to find a chocolate she had before. She thinks the chocolate came from the US, but nothing is ringing a bell for me...

It is a transparent bag of chocolate balls with something like 1930 printed on the package. The balls are not individually wrapped and look similar to Whoppers or Milk Duds, but are much larger and she thinks they contained hazelnut. Not Ferrero Rocher.

Possibly Lindt truffles. I don't remember a hazelnut one but the description makes me think of them.

Harry and David? They have a ton of varieties of transparent bagged, unwrapped filled chocolates.

I bet they actually are Ferrero Rocher and she's misremembering

This is what I think!

Or these are not from the US at all. It's something a relative brought her back from a trip years ago.

Thanks for the ideas!

but Ferrero Rocher are individually wrapped

Not US made, but I think Kinder chocolate might make some hazelnut balls. But the packaging would be bright and more memorable, I think. It's usually white and an orangey-red color.

Where did her relative visit in the US? It could be a regional candy

[spunkarella]

gardengal she has no idea, sorry!

I was going to suggest Lindt, but they are individually wrapped: 




If she got them in the Ohio area, maybe they're Buckeyes?

If it was picked up at the airport, you could check for candy stores she would have come across in transit. Rocky Mountain comes to mind.

Baci candies I bet.   Silver and blue packaging.  Delicious, delicious, delicious.    Have a whole hazelnut in the middle.




ETA: Nevermind, I mis-read and thought you said they are individually wrapped.  Still, these are pretty damn close to the description she's giving except for the wrapper.

Oh hey!!! I just remembered there is a round chocolate candy with a hazelnut in it. Doesn't come individually wrapped, but I think it's two in a candy bar size package. I think the last time I had them was years ago when I visited Oklahoma. Maybe 15 or 20 years ago? No idea on the name.
