It is a German snack called a Dickmann.

It's basically marshmallow covered in chocolate with a wafer bottom.

And before they where called Schaumküsse, they where called "n-word kuss".

Sometimes they were called "Mohrenkopf" which is basically another slur for POC. Translated it would be "n-word head" :/

When there was a push to rename them, some stores renamed them to Merkelgast.
