Chocolate-coated Marshmallow Treats - Other Varieties

Other Varieties

In Flanders, the confection is known as Negerinnentetten (negress tits), although the manufacturers market it under a less offensive name. In fact its other name, Negertetten comes from tête de nègre. When it first went on the market in Lebanon, it was sold under the name ras el abd (slave's head) by Gandour; it has since been changed to Tarboush (Fez). A similar product in Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia is Wagon Wheels. In Australia the closest product is Arnott's Chocolate Royals, which are available in milk and dark chocolate varieties, and are similar in appearance to a Tunnock's teacake. A similar confection in Russia is Zefir (зефир) though usually made without a biscuit. The filling is fruit-flavored, and either soft or similar to a meringue. Choco Pie, produced by Orion Confectionery in Korea, are similar to the North American MoonPie and Scooter Pie. In South Africa, they are known as Sweetie Pies.
