These traditional Zurich wafer rolls are crispy and filled with fine chocolate, making them a perfect gift for nearly anyone. Although the predecessors of today's sweet hüppen, which are said to have been produced centuries ago, did not have a filling and were considered to be more of a treat for the poor, these Hüppen are now considered a delicacy. The Straumann family has been producing them since the 1940s, at first within the city, but have since moved to Wädenswil, a short distance outside of Zurich. You can buy Hüppen in different sized packages at the Globus and Jelmoli department stores.
