Neapolitan wafers (also called gaufrettes in some countries, though this term can refer to other foods) are wafer and chocolate-cream sandwich biscuits, first made by the Austrian company Manner in 1898. [1]
Using hazelnuts imported from the area of Naples, Italy, to make the hazelnut-flavoured chocolate cream filling, they have five wafers and four layers of cream in their 49 millimetres (1.9 in) × 17 millimetres (0.67 in) × 17 millimetres (0.67 in) biscuit size. The basic recipe has remained unchanged into the 21st century. [1]
Manner still sells the biscuits in blocks of ten. [1] Many other companies have copied the idea, most often coating the bar in chocolate.
They were mass-produced in the USSR and the Eastern Bloc for their cheap production cost, long shelf-life and simple production method. Up to this day they are a popular treat in Russia and post-soviet countries, especially popular among seniors.
