Chocolate-covered marshmallow cake or "tea-cake" is produced in a variety of variations around the world, with some countries claiming to have created it or referred to it as their "national confection". Scottish chef Boyd Tunnock created the Tunnock teacake in 1956 when he developed the idea of ​​using Italian meringue, adding it to the bottom of the biscuit, and covering it with milk chocolate. In Denmark, these foods were originally made with cream (hence the name Danish flÃÆ'¸deboller (bread cream)), but the stuffing was then made from egg white to help industrialize the production and increase the shelf life. Many languages ​​are used to call this snack with phrases or compounds using partners for negro (eg "negro kiss", "negro bun"); most but not all of these are increasingly avoided, especially in formal writing, supporting replacements such as "choco-kiss".

National varieties
Teacake
In England this confection is known as chocolate teacake, though not at all like the usual English teacake, sweetbreads with dried fruit served with toasted and butter. Teacakes are generally served in the afternoon with the traditional British 'cuppa'. There are several manufacturers of chocolate teacakes in the UK, although the most famous is Tunnock's, a Scottish company founded in 1890. It was created by Boyd Tunnock in 1956. He developed the idea of ​​using Italian meringue. He made a biscuit base, his hands channeled the mallow to his hilt and covered it with milk chocolate. The Tunnock's teacake is generally considered in the same food category as English biscuits, eaten at rest with a cup of tea as shown in the advertisement for the product. Popular throughout the UK, Tunnock's Teacake enjoys an iconic status in Scotland, evoking childhood memories, or symbolizing "home" for Scots all over the world. The Scottish National Blood Transfusion Service provided Tunnock's Teacakes to blood donors in Scotland after providing blood. There is an online appreciation community for Tunnock's Teacake and Dundee University also has a community appreciation for Tunnocks Teacake. A giant replica of the gigantic Tunnocks Teacake made by Michelle Kershaw and Nick Dodds at Pimp That Snack . The opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow features the gigantic Tunnocks Teacakes dance.
The product itself consists of a small round bulb that is coated with a split of Italian meringue, a whipped egg whites mix similar to marshmallows. Because this soft white fondant is based on egg whites rather than gelatin, it is much softer than marshmallows. These are then coated with a thin layer of plain milk or chocolate and, in the case of Tunnock, wrapped in red and silver paper typical for the more popular types of milk chocolate, and blue and gold wrappers for plain brown type. Some brands that compete for Tunnock, like Lees' Foods, also include jam in the middle of teacake. In 2013, the English cafe Costa Coffee introduced a giant teacake marshmallow, measuring about 3 times the size of a standard teacake, with a chocolate biscuit base with marshmallow and raspberry jam in the middle.
An argument about whether teacake is a biscuit or cake that led to an action in the European Court by Marks and Spencer of a British company. The British tax authorities eventually accepted the company's argument that teacakes were cakes (biscuits taxed, no cakes), but refused to pay most of the VAT. The European Court ruled that in principle the taxes had to be paid and in a further trial before UK Law Lords in 2009, after 13 years of litigation, Marks and Spencer won the full tax payments they had paid from 1973 to 1994, totaling Ã, Â £ 3 ,5 million. This case fought with Jaffa cake.
Naming in Turkey
In Turkey, no single term is commonly used. Literally, it could be called "Konfeksiyon". Sometimes it can be called with related brand names like "ÃÆ' â € ¡okomel" or "Eti Puf"
FlÃÆ'¸debolle/Negerbolle/Negerkys
In Denmark, this confection is known as flÃÆ'¸debolle (bread cream) and is in some parts, mostly in Copenhagen, Denmark, formerly known as negerbolle (negro bun) or negerkys (nigger kiss). In the 1960s to the 1980s the term negro was phased out by all the major manufacturers for its use as a racial slur. Denmark also markets more shaped variations like patty, hence the name bÃÆ'¸f (steak).
Denmark is one of the largest producers of chocolate-coated marshmallows, producing about 800 million of these every year. The largest Danish producer, Elvirasminde, produces about 650 million treats, sends 400 million overseas and leaves the remaining 250 million to be eaten by the Danish population, so that the amount of flÃÆ'¸deboller is eaten at 45 per Dane per year.
In Denmark, brown-coated marshmallows are traditionally distributed in schools by children on their birthdays. They are found in any supermarket, and most of the snacks will have a delicacy version. It is also a popular addition to Ice Cream Cones, offered in most stores that sell Ice Cream. Usually they are placed over the last ball of Ice Cream with whipped cream and jam (Or "Guf", toppings made of whipped egg whites with sugar and fruit flavors) Sometimes they are even found in restaurants. Many cake enthusiasts see them as a challenge, and that is a technical challenge at Dening Bagedyst (The Great Bake Off) on Denmark TV.
The popularity of this treat is evident from the many varieties. Variations in coatings ranging from white chocolate over dark chocolate to licorice coatings, with or without sprinkling. The base is often a plain cracker in a commercial product, but the delicacy and homemade versions often have shortbreads, marzipan biscuits, or other bases. Charging content is also very common especially when homemade, but licorice, marzipan and other flavors are commercially available. Variations in shape are also common, often seen in commercial products ranging from wide and flat (bÃÆ'¸f) to high with sharp edges (Christmas tree).
In the last 10 years, the luxury version has become more popular, and has also made a picture of the 'flÃÆ'¸debolle' change from the basic candy or Cake, into a luxury product that is suitable as a dessert or present, similar to a box of high-quality chocolates. The luxury version has a much thicker brown coating, and the chocolate has a much higher quality, available in many variations and additional toppings (all from chewed nuts, to small pieces of very thin gold). Bottom biscuits (which usually have a very neutral taste) are replaced with Marzipan. These types are usually homemade and found only in specialty chocolate shops and restaurants, but are now available in most supermarkets, because the mass production version has become a huge success.
Krembo
Krembo , or Creambo (Hebrew: ????? ?, a meaningful contraction literally "Cream-in-it"), is the name of the popular chocolate-covered marshmallow in Israel, especially in winter as an alternative to ice cream. The "whipped snack Krembo" consists of a round biscuit base (17% of total weight), with a foam of marshmallow like foam (53%), coated with a thin layer of chocolate (about 30%) and wrapped in colorful, thin aluminum foil. Over time, different flavors have been tried for foam by different manufacturers, but the most popular ones are always dominated by vanilla flavor and, to a lesser extent, flavoring mocha. According to a study funded by Strauss, the leading Israeli krembo producer, 69% of Israelis prefer to eat top-down kembembos (starting with cream), and only 10% start with biscuits at the bottom; the rest had no choice.
History
The popular European-style chocolate Marshmallow as a homemade sweetmeat at Mandate Palestine, when it became known as Kushi (Hebrew ????, Nubian or Black African) and Rosh Kushi (Hebrew: ?? ???? "Nubian's head" ) This name was borrowed from names that were later used in Europe. This entered mass production in 1966. The first producer, Whitman Company, created the name Krembo . In Hebrew, the word krembo is a combination of cream (cream) and bo (in it). The mocha flavor was introduced in 1967. In 1979 Whitman was acquired by Strauss who has a major part of the krembo market in Israel. During the 1980s and 1990s smaller producers introduced additional flavors such as bananas and strawberries but failed to achieve significant market share. Today Strauss holds 54% of the market of krembo in Israel. In 2007, NestlÃÆ' Â © introduced a variation of krembo ice cream called Lekbo (Hebrew: ????, "licked inside" ).
Krembos is a seasonal snack that is sold for only four months of the year, from October to February. Nevertheless, 50 million kembembos are sold annually - an average of 9 per person. Crembos is exported to the United States and Canada, and sold mostly in halal stores and import shops.
In 2005, Strauss signed an agreement with Unilever to export ice cream and kembembos to the United States and Canada due to demand for this type of product with strict Kosher certification. Under the terms of the agreement, they can be sold only in kosher supermarkets and import shops. Distributor in North America is Dairy Delight, a subsidiary of Norman Dairy. In 2007, NestlÃÆ' Â © introduced a variation of krembo ice cream called Lekbo (Hebrew: ????, "licked inside" ). Tracy Luckow's tremendous product developer difficulties in finding Krembos because Newton's presence has increased in most POG retailers.
Nutritional information
The average Krembo weighs 25 grams (0.92 ounces) and has 115 calories. According to fine print on the foil packaging, per 100 g of krembo there are 419 calories, 3.2 g protein, 64 g carbohydrates (of which 54 g is sugar); Fats 16.7% (of which 13.9% are saturated fatty acids of legumes, less than 0.5% are trans fatty acids) and 67 mg of sodium.
By Halacha
Under kashrut, Jewish law diet rules or (Halacha), some orthodox rabbis find meaning in the order in which a person eats Krembo. The blessing of the biscuit is a boreh mezonot mine , while the blessing of cream and chocolate is shehakol nihiyya bidvaro . According to halacha, when eating a plate of mixed components, one has to say only a blessing over the main component, so for a chocolate croissant one would say a blessing over the dough, and skip the blessing over the chocolate. But in Krembo's case, there is no consensus on the "main" component: biscuits, or cream and chocolate. One solution is to bless each component separately.
In popular culture
Krembo has become a pop-culture/national icon. Though considered to be treating children, sociologists have found that it is consumed as a convenient meal by Israeli expatriates in the United States, evoking nostalgia for their childhood.
The song hit by Israeli rock band Kaveret "Shir HaMakolet" ("The Grocery Store Song") mentions the character who bought Krembo.
In the Hebrew version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, as translated by Gili Bar-Hillel, Dumbledore's favorite sweetness is Krembo, not lime.
Alon 'Krembo' Sagiv is a fictional character in the cult film of Israel Mivtza Savta (Operasi Granny), as a kid on kibbutz he once stole all Krembos cases and locked himself in his room. With all the kibbutz waiting outside, he has to throw away the evidence and eat the whole case (500 kembembos!), Earning his hated nickname. Mallomars
In the United States, Mallomars is manufactured by Nabisco. A circle of graham biscuits was overlaid with extrusion marshmallows, then coated with a thin shell of dark chocolate. Mallomars was introduced to the public in 1913, the same year as Moon Pie (a confection of similar materials). The first box of Mallomars is sold in West Hoboken, New Jersey (now Union City, New Jersey).
Mallomars are generally available from early October to April. They are not distributed during the summer months, supposedly because they are easy to melt in the summer, although these are a lot for marketing reasons as for the practical ones. Loyal cake eaters have been known to store them during the winter and keep them in the summer, even though Nabisco markets other chocolate-covered cake brands throughout the year. Eighty-five percent of all Mallomars are sold in the New York metropolitan area. They are manufactured entirely in Canada, at a plant in Scarborough, Ontario.
Schokokuss/Negerkuss/Mohrenkopf
In Germany SchokokÃÆ'¼sse was first commercially manufactured in 1920, although the first mention was made in 1829. The manufacturing industry began in the 1950s. Sweets made throughout the year, about one billion are made per year, placing an average consumption of about a dozen per person per year. They are available in supermarkets, many bakeries and sold traditionally at exhibitions.
Sometimes they are consumed pressed between two pieces of bread, also called as MatschbrÃÆ'¶tchen ("Mud Roll", "Squished Bread Roll") - mostly by children.
The interior is always egg whites, sweet with sugar, but there are also varieties using sugar substitutes available in the German market.
The real name of everyday is Mohrenkopf ("Moors Head") or Negertus ("Negro kiss"), but most companies change the name of the product to be more neutral SchokokÃÆ'¼sse or Schumanuss ("Chocolate Kiss"), SchaumkÃÆ'¼sse or Schaumkuss ("Foam Kiss") or brand-specific names.
In German-speaking Switzerland they are still sold as Mohrenkopf . In the French-speaking sections of Switzerland and France, they are known as TÃÆ'ªtes Choco ("chocolate head"), or and more generally as TÃÆ'ªte-de-nÃÆ'¨gre in France.
Neekerinsuukot
In Finland, the name came from Germany, and they were named "Negro Kisses" in 1951. In 2001 the name was changed to "Kisses Brunberg", after the manufacturer, for almost the same reasons as in Denmark, Germany, and in places other.
Negerinnetetten
In Flanders, this confection is known as Negerinnetetten . The word can be translated as "negress's tits" or can be derived from the French word for head: "tÃÆ'ªte", as the French word for this confection used to be tÃÆ'ªte de nÃÆ'¨gre , the French for "nigger head ". This is also the possible origin of the alternative name Negertetten . Currently manufacturers market confection with different names, because the terms previously mentioned are considered offensive.
Melo-Cakes
In Belgium, Milka branded it with Melo-Cakes . This popular dish is sold in 6 packs, and up to 30 pieces (family package).
Negerzoenen
In the Netherlands the name is Negerzoenen ("Negro kisses") even though some companies have changed their name to Zoenen ("Kisses"). This has caused some controversy, since the Dutch word neger is generally considered to be more neutral compared to the equivalent English negro , which is considered to be degrading and racist. They often pack nine per box to create the words Negen Zoenen ("Nine Kisses"). One such company, Buys, said that the name change was made for marketing reasons.
Whippets
Whippet cookies are produced in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. They consist of a spice biscuit topped with marshmallows and then coated with a hard shell of pure chocolate. Whippet cookies first came to market in 1927, although they had been produced and distributed by Viau under the name "Empire" in early 1901. Currently, cookies are still being produced in Montreal at the eastern end of the Viau plant, which is now owned by Dare Foods. They are currently available with dark chocolate and a layer of milk chocolate, and with some fruity jam artificial flavors filling inside filling like marshmallows.
Cookies are similar to Mallomars from New York City. They also have a striking resemblance to the Tea Tunnock and Krembos. However, the Tunnock tea cake does not have the same chocolate type and the different types of stuffing.
Cookie Whippet is a different part of Quebec culture because it does not go well beyond its production area. This is partly because pure chocolate is very easy to melt (compared to chocolate mixtures) and therefore they require refrigerated transportation in the summer. Furthermore, the combination of hard brown shells and marshmallows in the air makes them self-destruct when placed in unpressured or semi-pressurized cargo parts of aircraft. However, they are currently available in various wholesale locations across Canada and the US.
Though usually known by their proper trade names 'Whippets', these biscuits are also popularly referred to in the Montreal area as 'Nun's Farts' in the Anglophone community. Although they are not at all similar to a Quebec pastry pie called pets de soeurs, it has been suggested that a combination of black and white marshmallow chocolate fill layer is evocative of the custom black and white habits of a Quebec nun. This, along with their light and airy textures, may have given rise to the naughty Anglo-Quebecois moniker. It is not used by the francophone community.
The episode of the Canadian Science program How It Made shows the production process behind the cookie. However, many aspects of the production process (the amount of marshmallow content, ingredients, etc.) are not disclosed. Event narrators describe these aspects as "confidential information". Because Canadian legislation requires a list of materials on each package, the amount of confidential information involved is limited.
Another Canadian Cake, "Viva Puffs", is produced by Dare Foods in five flavors. Viva is a trade name; This confection has been known in (English) Canada for at least 50 years as a "brown puff".
Choco Mallows
In the Philippines, Fibisco makes a product similar to Mallomars called Choco Mallows which, unlike Mallomars, are available throughout the year. Perhaps because of the tropical climate, the "hard brown shell" of Choco Mallow is usually just a soft brown coating that does not actually harden even after being cooled.
Beso de Negro
In Bolivia, Chocolates Condor is the traditional producer of "Beso de Negro" (Negro Kiss). This confection is similar to the German SchokanÃÆ'¼sse in the use of an egg-white foam filler that is sweeter than the marshmallow-based content. There are attempts to introduce variations in flavors, but the "classic" version remains the most popular.
Beso de Moza
In Peru, candy is known as "Beso de Moza" (Girl's Kiss) (link), sold by NestlÃÆ'Â ©. There is currently a contest between the strawberry and lucuma flavors to be a permanent version of the product.
Beso de Negra
In Colombia and Ecuador, it's called Beso de Negra (Kiss the Black Woman) or " Chocmelo ", brown portmanteau and masmelo (marshmallow). However, the latter does not always have cookies as a base.
Bombocas
In Portugal, this candy is known as "Bombocas". Sold by different brands, usually the supermarkets. They are sold in 3 main flavors: meringue (white interior), strawberry (pink) and vanilla (yellow). They are called "Beijinhos" in recent years.
MallowPuffs
At the New Zealand biscuit factory, Griffin makes MallowPuffs, a chocolate biscuit portrayed as "a thin-haired marshmallow placed on shortcake biscuits, covered in plush chocolate milk". Marshmallows in MallowPuffs tend to be more dense and chewier than some similar products (such as Tunnock tuna chocolate). They come in a variety of flavors, including Cookies and Cream, Hokey Pokey, Toffee, Rocky Road, Double Chocolate and authentic chocolate. The slogan of the national advertising campaign for MallowPuffs, "Have you done enough for MallowPuff", has entered into the New Zealand cultural lexicon.
Munchmallow
Manufactured in Serbia by Jaffa, it has a soft cake base and sponge filled by a mixture of cocoa.
NhÃÆ'¡ Benta
In Brazil, desserts are known as NhÃÆ'¡ Benta and are produced by Copenhagen chocolaterie. These cakes are sold in various flavors, including vanilla, coconut, strawberry, lemon, passion fruit, caramel and coffee.
Ricardito
In Uruguay known as "Ricardito", chocolate coated merengue produced by Ricard http://www.plucky.com.uy/sitio/productos/ricardito.php
Zefir
Zefir (Russian: ?????? , may also be spelled zephyr or zephir >) made from berries and berries purà © with extra sugar and whipped egg whites. These are generally produced and sold in countries of the former Soviet Union. The recipe is a merger of traditional Russian pastries with French meringue. The name given after the Greek god of the western light of Zephyr wind symbolizes the smooth windy consistency.
Consistency is similar to marshmallows, Schokokuss or krembo. The shape usually resembles a traditional meringue. However, unlike the commercial meringue, it is never crunchy. Pure and chocolate-covered versions are widespread. Unlike the other confectioneries of this type, it has no biscuit base.
Other varieties
In Lebanon, local variants began to be sold in 1950 under the name ras el abd (head slave) by Gandour; However, it has since been changed to Tarboush or Tarboosh (Fez) but continues to be referred to by the old public name.
Arnott's Chocolate Royals is an Australian-made marshmallow chocolate, available in milk and dark chocolate, and similar in appearance to the Tunnock teacake. In South Africa, a similar configuration is Sweetie Pies, originally made by Cadbury, but now by Beyers.
Chocolate fish
In New Zealand, chocolate-coated marshmallows are brown fish. Delicacy of shaped fish, 12 to 20 centimeters (5 to 8 inches) in length, made of pink or white marshmallows covered with a thin layer of milk chocolate. The texture of chocolate milk has a ripple that resembles the scale in the fish, which is created by the fish moving under the blower during production.
In Kiwi culture, brown fish is a common gift for a well done small job ("Give the boy a brown fish").
