Do You Remember These?

As a kid in Iran, I loved Negrokiss. The dome shaped chocolate-coated marshmallow treats that were so... just so... Perfect! Cracking the choco layer to get to the smooth filling... and then... YUM! How the chocolate melted soothingly with the marshmallow.. Heavenly! A perfect combination. Chocolate with Marshmellow, black and white, smooth and crackly. Thin layer, thick filling and it all ended with a sweet little wafer that you'd lick before just finishing the treat.

In the States these treats are known as Mellomars. And alas not as tasty but they will do. Here they are seasonal cookies. Every October I buy a box, devour it with relish and then do not dare go near them again - fearing weight gain. I just found out that 70% of all Mellomars produced (by Nabisco) between October and April are sold in New York! Wow...
