How do you say "Krembo" in English?

How do you say "Krembo" in English?

I looked up krembo in my Hebrew dictionary and there was only a listing for Krem. 

The English translation for the Hebrew word krem is cream.


From the Encyclopedia Wikipedia:

?Krembo is a national Israeli food, invented as a winter replacement
for ice-cream.?

?The Krembo is wrapped in thin aluminum foil, and it consists of
biscuit, vanilla egg-foam on the inside and a chocolate covering.?

?Picked up some Jordanian equivalent of Israeli "krembo" chocolate
mousse/cookie snacks that had my cousin Yochi written all over them.?

Krembo in English would be a chocolate covered snack bar, a chocolate
mousse snack bar or a chocolate cream snack bar.

Thanks. I know what Krembo is in Hebrew.
I just wonder if there is a parallel desert elsewhere and what is its English name?

Thanks.

Perhaps a Krembo could be a mallomar.

Hello again Mynick,

A krembo can be a kind of Ring Ding or Ho-Ho.

Here is an excerpt from the Union of American Hebrew Congregations website:

"When an Israeli child walks into a candy store and asks for a krembo
(kind of a ring ding or what others outside NYC call Ho-Ho) in Hebrew,
it is a Jewish experience."

Here's a picture of a Ring Ding

Here's a picture of the moon pie that pinkfreud-ga mentioned in her comment below:

You seem to be describing a Tunnock's tea cake

In the United States, the old southern treat called "Moon Pie" would
probably be the closest thing to Krembo. Moon Pies now come in many
flavors, but the original Moon Pie is a sandwich of two circular
graham crackers with a fluffy filling of marshmallowy mousse; the
whole affair is dipped in chocolate. Good eatin'!

Thank you all guys.
Krembo looks more like a Mallomar or a Tunnock tea cake. Just that you
know it is filled with egg foam. Not Marshmelo. Not cream. Egg foam on
a biscuit cover with chocolate.
Try it once :)

Mynick, 

I asked someone who used to live in Israel the Krembo. He told me that
he once found something very similar to a Krembo in an Arabic food
store in Calgary.

From what I know when I was in Israel, Krembo is what we call in Germany: 
"Schaumkuss" (politically correct), "Negerkuss" or "Mohrenkopf". 

Looking like that:

And eaten in Germany around Christmas time. 

A dictionary ("Leo") claims that this is called in English "chocolate
marshmallow", but I know what mashmallow is, so I am not sure...
