Curd snack

Packed strawberry-flavoured Latvian curd snack "Kārums", and half of a kiwi flavoured curd snack

Curd snack (Latvian: biezpiena sieriņš, Estonian: kohuke, Lithuanian: varškės sūrelis, Russian: творожный (глазированный) сырок) is a type of sweet snack made from curd, popular in the Baltic states – Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania – as well as in Russia and Ukraine. The snack is also known and produced elsewhere in Europe and the Middle-East.

Curd snacks are typically 5 centimetres (2.0 in) long, usually made from milled and pressed curd with raisins, jam or other filling sometimes glazed with chocolate or other substance (glazed snacks often have no filling), such as vanilla-, kiwi- or woodland strawberry-flavoured cream.
