The vanilla flavour may be replaced by other less popular flavours. The word Krembo means "cream-inside". It is similar to the South American candy, Alfajor. Unbeknownst to many Israelis, the origins of the Krembo are actually in Europe, where it was manufactured in countries such as Germany and England and marketed under the politically incorrect name "Nigger" ("Negro's Kiss" in Germany), among others.
