Yeah.... well, I promised to send some German sweets to Vikey. My first parcel did not get delivered as there was some meat in it. Now I am desperately trying to find German sweets. If you go into a supermarket here about half of the candy has an American flag on it and most of it has an english name. Now I wonder.... what do you guys think is a German sweet? We are not really that big on that stuff I think and sending a tin of Sauerkraut is not exactly what supervike was hoping for, I suppose ;) Right now I have some Lindt chocolate (they are German if somewhat internationally active) and I am going to get some Houber Brezel (bavarian pretzels). Thought about Mozartkugeln too....

So, my question is: What is a German sweet?

I\'m thinking of those soft cookies with a soft biscuit bottom, thin layer of orange jelly and a coat of chocolate. I don\'t know what they\'re called, but I always use to eat those when I\'m in Germany and now when Lidl has opened up here in Sweden you can get them here as well.

Hmm, Lindt. Nothing less than 85% pure for me. The 99% pure is the best. Hachez is good dark chocolate too, but I\'m not sure if it\'s German or not.

Although I \'m not a big fan I think of Kindersurprize as German.

Yum yum, German meat-candy is my favorite! Pfefferminzschweinefleisch is especially good.

They are called \"Soft Cakes\" ;)
Well German sweets: there would be Ahoi Brause, Halloren Kugeln, Goldbären... I\'ll think of more.

Kinder stuff :) I grew up on it and they\'ve started selling the odd bit in England now so I\'m made up :)

How about some of the German Ginger chocolate. It used to be made in the shape of big hearts at Octoberfest and stuff?

I think I know what you\'re talking about. Weren\'t they called Lebkuchen and were sold in either a red or blue bag depending on whether it was covered in milk or plain chocolate?

Here they are at the bottom of the page.

Lebkuchen, though it might be a bit hard coming by some this time of year...
Mozartkugeln, Kinderschokolade... or Ritter Sport... Haribo stuff... Dickmann\'s, Storck Riesen, Werther\'s Original... stuff like that!
All bow before my mighty knowledge of sweets! All see my gut as proof! :p

Mmm, coconuss Ritter Sport and the new cappucino ones. Foutunately those are readily available here in the UK.

I believe Werther\'s is British though?!?
