Pöttyös Túró Rudi (Chocolate-Coated Curd Bar)

Chocolate-coated sweet curd bar · Pöttyös · Dairy & desserts

must-try

Why it's worth it

Túró Rudi has been Hungary's favourite fridge snack since 1968, and the red polka-dot Pöttyös wrapper is the one locals point to. Czech shops have no branded equivalent of a chocolate-dipped curd bar, so this is the first thing to grab from the dairy aisle (keep it cold).

Taste

Chilled bar of sweet, slightly tangy quark-style curd under a thin cocoa coating; creamy, mild, not too sugary
