Creamy filling between five layers of wafers ... A wonderful harmony of crispy texture and hazelnut-chocolate flavour. A small ''package'' (a classic waffle is 49 cm long and 17 mm wide, and the same thickness), but plenty of pleasure...
The first of what could be called ''sweet sandwiches'' was made by the famous Austrian company Manner in 1898, and their ''inventor'' was the company''s founder, Josef Manner I, who started his business at a very early age, 25 to be precise. His great desire, and at the same time his aim, was to make chocolate delicacies accessible to all sections of the population, including the poorest, as chocolate was still a relatively unaffordable product for most people at that time. For example, a worker who wanted to buy a kilo of chocolate would have to spend on average the amount he earned in two working days.
The filling of the first napolitanki was made from hazelnuts imported from Naples, Italy, which gave the napolitanki their distinctive name. The original recipe for Manner''s famous waffles, which contain 12% hazelnuts, has remained unchanged to this day. And it is today that the napolitanki are Manner''s best-selling product. Up to 4,000 of the classic and convenient 75-gram packets are sold daily in their Vienna store alone. According to some estimates, an average of two packets of Manner''s famous packaging are eaten every second. The distinctive pink wrapper with the blue logo and the image of St. Stephen''s Cathedral in Vienna has thus become almost a kind of hallmark of (sweet) life in the Viennese capital. Apart from the one and only "Sacher Torte", of course.
The original recipe for napolitanki was later given several variations, as other companies involved in the production of sweet delicacies soon began to produce napolitanki, and Manner''s range of products expanded over time. Chocolate-covered wafers, often referred to as chocolate wafers, were particularly popular and, like other types of wafers, can also serve as one of the key ingredients for desserts. Here are two recipes using chocolate wafers, which you can replace with your favourite type of wafer if you wish. It is up to your imagination and cooking skills to experiment further with the desserts made from wafers.
And here''s a tip: if you find some waffles in your kitchen cupboard that are no longer quite fresh and crisp, but have not yet passed their expiry date, don''t throw them away. Grind them up and use them in chocolate balls, etc. Remember that it is this kind of culinary recycling that often leads to delicious results
