   You do know that this candy has stirred quite the controversy, don't you? In some countries they have names that roughly translate to 'nigger kisses.' Which makes the name dickmann's the least of its' problems.

   Crazy name yes, but those things are great. Thin chocolate shell, light marshmallow filling, and wafer at the bottom. They're packaged in boxes of 16.

   Damn near the first thing I buy when I'm in Germany.

   Great stuff.

   Titus is right. I was raised in Germany and we loved these treats and didn't think much of what they were called at first ("Neger Kussen") and were appalled when we got older and realized what it meant!

   In German "Dick" actually means "fat" or "bulky". So the name wants to imply that you buy bulky chocolate-covered cream cakes.

   Those are actually really gross. I bought them in the Netherlands and yeah, like nasty chocolate covered marshmellow grossness

   Those Dickmanns aren't anything like marshmallows! I live in Germany but spent also almost 2 years in Canada - and I know what marshmallows are like. Texture's the same, perhaps lighter, but the taste is definitely different from that of marshmallows. Sweeter, I'd say. And yep, should we call them Nigger Kisses?? No - I prefer in that case "Dickmanns" ..
