4 Worst Rated Czech Wafers

Hořické trubičky are rolled wafers produced in the town of Hořice and neighbouring municipalities in the Czech Republic. The rolls are from 5 to 19 centimetres long and light beige in colour. They have the scent and taste of a wafer, with a crunchy, smooth and porous texture. The wafers are made from only six ingredients - wheat flour, powdered milk, sugar, water, egg yolks and vegetable oil. They come in different varieties, so the rolls can be filled, half-coated, coated and sprinkled. When filled, the filling consists of whipped butter cream with cocoa powder and vanilla. When sprinkled, they are coated with melted butter mixed with honey and sprinkled with sugar or hazelnuts, almonds, cinnamon, raisins, cocoa powder and vanilla. The recipe for this delicacy exists since 1812 when Napoleon's wounded general and chef gave it to a local woman as a reward for healing his wounds. To eat them as the locals do, dip them in a cup of warm, melted chocolate.Expand

Mariánskolázeňské oplatky are wafers with an unusually large and round shape, produced in the municipalities of Mariánské Lázně and Velka Hled'sebe in the Czech Republic since 1856. The final product consists of two thin wafers glued together by a layer of filling, which can be made with hazelnuts or cocoa. The edge is crumbled, and the wafers break with a characteristical crack once they are bitten into. The wafers are either light brown or cream in color, consisting of wheat flour, sugar, egg yolks, salt, starch, and flavorings. The fillings have a texture that is granular, while the flavor is delicately sweet. The wafers are sold in aluminum foil or carton packages and are mostly eaten as a tasty snack.Expand
