This is a list of chocolate-covered foods.
Chocolate is a typically sweet, usually brown, food preparation of Theobroma cacao seeds, roasted and ground, often flavored, as with vanilla. It is made in the form of a liquid, paste or in a block or used as a flavoring ingredient in other sweet foods.
Chocolate biscuit – many types of
biscuits (notably cookies, shortbreads, digestive biscuits, wafers) are often covered in chocolate
Chocolate-covered popcorn – dipped or entirely coated in various types of chocolate[1]
Chocolate bar – many varieties have a chocolate coating
Caramel apple – although traditionally covered in just caramel or caramel and nuts, chocolate is often added, sometimes in decorative patterns.[2]
Chocolate-coated marshmallow treats (including
Peeps) – produced in different variations around the world, with several countries claiming to have invented it or hailing it as their "national confection". The first chocolate-coated
marshmallow treat was created in the early 1800s in
Denmark.[3]
Chocolate-coated peanut –
peanuts coated in a shell of
milk chocolate. They have a reputation in many countries of being food eaten in movie theaters. In some countries, they are also known as Goobers, which is the earliest and one of the most popular brands of the product, made by Nestlé. Goobers were introduced in the
United States in 1925 by the
Blumenthal Chocolate Company. Nestlé acquired the brand in 1984. A large number of other brands also exist.
Chocolate-covered almonds – many places on the Internet claim that July 8 is (American) National Milk Chocolate with Almonds Day,[4] while November 2 is National Bitter Chocolate with Almonds Day.[5]
Chocolate-covered cherry – variations include
cherrycordial (candy) with liquid fillings often including cherry liqueur, as well as chocolate covered candied cherries and chocolate covered dried cherries.[7][8]
Chocolate-covered coffee bean – confections made by coating roasted
coffee beans in some kind of chocolate: dark chocolate, milk chocolate, or white chocolate. They are usually only slightly sweet, especially the dark chocolate kind, and the intense, bitter flavor of the coffee beans can be overwhelming for non-coffee-drinkers.
Tunnock's teacake – manufactured by Thomas Tunnock, they consist of a small round
shortbread biscuit covered with
Italian meringue, and then encased in a thin layer of milk or dark chocolate and wrapped.
Wafer – some varieties are covered or coated with chocolate
Winter ice cream – wafer cones filled with flavored cream and coated with chocolate
Zefir – a type of soft confectionery made by
whipping fruit and berry
purée (mostly apple puree) with sugar and
egg whites with subsequent addition of a
gelling agent like
pectin,
agar, or
gelatine. Chocolate-coated versions are common.
Chocolate fountain – a device for serving chocolate
fondue. Typical examples resemble a stepped
cone, standing 2–4 feet tall with a
crown at the top and stacked tiers over a basin at the bottom. The basin is heated to keep the chocolate in a liquid state so it can be pulled into a center cylinder then vertically transported to the top of the fountain by a corkscrew
auger. From there it flows over the tiers creating a chocolate "
waterfall" in which foods such as
strawberries or
marshmallows can be dipped.
