Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats

Rare card · No. 34736

Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats, also known as chocolate teacakes (especially in the United Kingdom) are confections consisting of a biscuit base topped with marshmallow-like filling and then coated in a hard shell of chocolate. They were invented in Denmark in the 19th century under the name flødeboller (sing. flødebolle lit. 'cream bun'), and later also produced and distributed by Viau cookie factory in Montreal as early as 1901. Numerous varieties exist, with regional variations in recipes. Some variants of these confections have previously been known in many countries by names comprising equivalents of the Spanish word negro.
