Chocolate-covered prunes, also known as plums in chocolate or prunes in chocolate (Polish: śliwka w czekoladzie, Russian: чернослив в шоколаде, tr. chernosliv v shokolade) are a kind of sweet; a chocolate candy with an entire dried plum as a filling.

A chocolate-covered prune or plum is a typical Polish delicacy.[1][2] Along with similarly prepared dried apricots, chocolate-covered prunes are a traditional confectionery in Russia and Ukraine.[3] They are also eaten among the Jewish Russian community worldwide.[4][5]

Variations
