Help me find this elusive Aldi wafer bar of the 2010s

So the family group chat recently turned to nostalgia over the chocolate bars we used to eat. We are searching for a photo of the 'Todomundo' sold in Aldi in the UK circa 2010-2013. Help indulge our nostalgia-fest.
In my teens my family were mad for chocolate bars. These were mostly knockoffs from Aldi and had names like Whackos, Disco Biscuits, Racers, Jive etc. One that we all remember to various degree was 'Todomundo', but it seems to have been wiped from the face of the internet. It's bizarre - there isn't a single photo that we can find. And now we would really like to see one.
I reckon they were around from roughly 2010 to 2013, sold in Aldi in the UK. To be honest I can't remember the packaging but my sister says that most of the packaging was transparent and 'a kind of beige/cream colour'. We think they tasted a bit like a Kinder Bueno. They exist on myfitnesspal, there's a few tweets about them and I've found a description of them as 'Todomundo - Crunchy Wafers filled with Cocoa Cream' — so I know this isn't some sort of collective madness — but it's driving me batty that I can't find a photo. Can anyone put my Googling skills to shame?
Cheers,

Response by poster: @jonathanhughes: Knoppers - another bar with a fantastic name! I know the ones.
Still searching for the todomundo though, unfortunately.

Sorry, I'm a bit late to this, but maybe Spirals? I'm in Ireland and always buy them - they are very like Kinder Buenos. There is also a version with just chocolate filling (no hazelnut)

Response by poster: Afraid it is definitely Todomundos that we are looking for, but thanks for the suggestion. They look yummy.
