I may not speak German, but I do speak the international language of candy. Today was traveling-German-food-truck day, so I went to load up on some bockwurst and saw this:
Click the photo to see what’s inside.
I asked one of the German ladies what it was, and she kept telling me it was soft and fluffy, and I thought she meant meringue. She said people either like it or hate it. Later I saw an English translation on the side of the box: chocolate-covered MARSHMALLOW. Major score. Here is one with a bite taken out of it:
And one final candy-related item. Check out this fabric that Jan sent:
Don’t you want to eat it? I’m thinking about making a pillowcase with it so that I can have candy-filled dreams …

yummy! that’s what we in Denmark call “fl
oh, it looks so yummy. and that is some great fabric
MMmmmm the chocolate marshmallow looks wonderful, too wonderful in fact ! I haven’t had breakfast yet! Great “candyland” fabric!
“international language of candy.” I laughed out loud at that. You’d make a great candy spy.
The Germans give good candy, don’t they?
I live in Germany and here those marshmallow thingies go by the not very politically correct name of “Negerk
Ooh, that just looks so divinely decadent.
This plate is really cute, too! Ever thought of being a food stylist?
That was my very favorite candy EVER when I was a kid, imported by relatives direct from Switzerland. We called them the politically incorrect name of morenkopfe (sp.). Microwave?! Geez, learn something new….
hi

i’m so interested in that!!!
are you japanese????
i want to know about you!!
i’m 24 age
i live in japan
and i live in japan…and so on
umm if you can , please give me a mail
thanks
Honestly, Mariko, I’ve never known anyone so obsessed with candy. You’re insane. In the sweetest way, of course. xo
Hi Mariko, this candy also exists in France and is known as “tete de negre”, which means “nigger head”. It is a pretty unrespectful name and many people actually wanted to rename the candy a few years ago! Regardless, they’re very good 🙂
oh, yummmmmm…reminds me of those valomilk candies….
Wahhhhh! [pouting] I want the German food truck to visit me. Those look absolutely YUMMY! Enjoy!
we have those in sweden as well, and ones that has shredded coconut over the chocolate! we call them kokosbollar (coconutballs)… what we call the plain ones i dunno really… chokladbollar (chocolate balls) maybe!?
Ohhh! I love chocolate covered marshmellows. I’m a total sweet nut also…cake, candy, cookies…anything sweet! 🙂 I eat food to get to desert! LOL That fabric is mighty fine also.
