Cañonazo Costa 22G

A crisp wafer filled with rich peanut cream and coated in cocoa. This Peruvian chocolate bar is an iconic sweet snack that combines the roasted aroma of peanuts with the lightness of crispy wafer, perfect for an indulgent break at any time of day.

From the first bite, you immediately feel the delicate crunch of the wafer, followed by the velvety centre and the rich taste of chocolate. It is a simple, balanced combination designed to satisfy without weighing down the palate.

Where the Peruvian chocolate bar comes from

This sweet treat is a true institution in local neighbourhood shops and kiosks outside schools in Peru. Anyone who grew up there recognises it in an instant: it is the snack bought with spare change during break time or on the way home in the afternoon.

It represents that immediate, comforting taste of home, tied to everyday memories and afternoon snacks shared with friends at school desks.

How to enjoy this filled snack

The bar is ready to bite into straight from the wrapper, but there are a few little tips to enjoy it at its best:

• At room temperature, to appreciate the smooth softness of the filling and the contrast with the wafer.
• Chilled for a few minutes in the fridge during summer, to make the outer coating crisper and snappier.
• Crumbled by hand over a bowl of vanilla or fior di latte ice cream, as an indulgent topping.
• Cut into bite-sized pieces to accompany a fruit salad or enrich a bowl of plain yoghurt.

Best pairings at the table

The combination of cocoa and roasted peanuts pairs wonderfully with hot or refreshing drinks capable of balancing the sweet notes of the cream:

• An unsweetened espresso or a long Americano, perfect for creating a bold contrast with the cocoa.
• A glass of fresh whole milk or an oat drink for a classic afternoon snack.
• A peppermint infusion or a light black tea for a relaxing break in the middle of the day.

Ideal moments to take a break

Its light format makes this bar ideal for various moments throughout the weekly routine:

• Mid-morning between meetings, when you need to recharge your energy with a tasty treat.
• In your rucksack for an afternoon snack at school, university, or after sports training.
• In the evening after dinner on the sofa, when you fancy a small treat without opening a whole chocolate bar.
• At Latin American-themed birthday parties, tucked into party bags for guests.

How to recognise the original product

There are various coated wafers on the market, but this bar clearly stands out for its typical cylindrical cannon shape and the roasted peanut flavour of its filling. The wafer pastry is light and airy, designed not to feel dry or overly dense.

How to store the product

Store the snack in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight or heat sources. The ideal storage temperature is between 15 and 18 degrees, to keep the coating glossy and prevent the filling from losing its texture.

During warmer months, you can keep it in the coolest part of the pantry or in the fridge, letting it sit for two minutes before eating to fully enjoy the crispness of the biscuit.

Format and portion size

The single-portion 22-gramme pack is sized for quick, individual consumption. It is just the right size to satisfy a sweet craving with a controlled portion, handy to keep in a bag, jacket pocket or desk drawer.

Who this sweet treat is for

It is the perfect snack for anyone looking for the flavours of their South American childhood who wants to rediscover the authentic taste of Peruvian afternoon treats. It is equally suited to those who love exploring international confectionery made with chocolate, crisp wafer, and roasted nuts.
