About Grześki
Grześki is a chocolate-covered wafer layered with cocoa cream, made in Poland since 1988 — long enough, as the company puts it, to make the brand a mature millennial rather than an antique. Colian acquired it in 2005 and it is among the most recognised sweet names in the country, sold as single bars and in multipacks.
