Russian candy that my great-grandmother used to get me?

Question

My late great-grandmother used to have some kind of Russian candy in her house all the time when I was little.

The kind I always had was chewy, and had sort of a strawberry nougat inside of milk chocolate. I remember there were a lot of variations of this candy, both in the centers of it, and the kind of chocolate it had.

I remember somewhat what the wrapper looked like: it was crinkly plastic cellophane(sp?) that was white, with red and blue lettering. It also had a little blonde girl on it in a dress, with a little dog, I believe.

Does anyone have any idea what the name of this candy was? If you think you know, please send me a link...

Answer 1

I found this one hope it helps:

From Russia with Love

Ah, what could be better than a mystery candy, a James Bond title and a matryoshka?  This one appears to be a morbidly obese stacking doll, entirely appropriate for a candy box.

From the ingredients, I can tell two things.  One, it is some sort of light confection, such as a nougat or meringue.  Two, it is covered with a “confectionary glaze (chocolate aroma).”    When the plastic seal-wrap is removed, it releases the scent of chocolate meringue, so I’m right so far.
