Cybele, at Candyblog.net, was lucky enough to get her hands on some official Olympic candy, straight from Torino, Italy, courtesy of a friend. The candy is gianduia chocolate, which means that it is a combination of chocolate and ground hazelnuts. It has a slightly chewy, sticky texture that lingers on the tongue. Check out her site for a full review, but I definitely wouldn't mind if these bite-sized chocolates made their way over to the US. I'm willing to have a piece of chocolate (or two) to support the athletes!

I just picked up a couple of these at an Italian deli in Mendota Heights, Minnesota (though without the Torino 2006 label), so they should be available elsewhere.
They were delicious, but then again I'm a sucker for hazelnuts and chocolate.
