Curd snack

Curd snacks are delectable sweet treats made from curd cheese, particularly popular in regions such as Russia, the former Soviet republics, the Baltic States, Hungary, Poland, and Romania. These snacks are primarily crafted from finely milled and pressed curd cheese, blended with sugar or sweeteners, and often feature delectable fillings like raisins, jam, or chocolate.

To achieve the classic vanilla flavor, many recipes use synthetic vanillin, although natural vanilla and chocolate are also commonly used. These snacks frequently come coated with chocolate or cream, and some variations include fruity or berry flavors for an added burst of taste.

The origins of curd snacks trace back to the Soviet Union, and their modern version, often enveloped in chocolate, continues to be a favorite in the Commonwealth of Independent States. Whether enjoyed plain or with a luscious coating, curd snacks offer a delightful combination of creamy texture and sweet flavor that has withstood the test of time.
