The only difference is that is was in Spain, where I live.

I can get them year round at Victory Kosher Grocery, or other Israeli grocers. And when I'm studying hard, I eat several a day, alternating between vanilla and mocha and eating methods.

But as this Wikipedia page can attest, chocolate coated marshmallow treats are nothing new (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chocolate-coated_marshmallow_treats), including the legendary tinfoil wrap. The iconic status Krembo has in Israeli pop culture is due to the nostalgic memories of a time of modest survival, when you either had a Krembo or nothing at all. Nowadays they'd probably be imported from Switzerland or something and marketed with a dubbed TV commerical as a special Swiss treat.<br /><br />Oh, and by the way, I love Krembos. Those foreign things are just lousy imitations.Doronnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5746038026718535483.post-28605557700760503542009-11-17T15:41:36.342+02:002009-11-17T15:41:36.342+02:00ng, that was my husband's theory!

Pretty cool. <br />But clearly the question is silly: You eat a Krembo by order of flavor. With the bland cookie first, and the last bite consisting almost entierly of chocolate. Best way. :)מבשלת שלושת החתוליםhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03404971589216351730noreply@blogger.com
