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" .. ;-) 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.

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

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!

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.

In some countries they have names that roughly translate to 'nigger kisses.' Which makes the name dickmann's the least of its' problems.
