One of my favorite candies so far!
Túró is a basically a cheese, a soft, white unaged cheese extremely popular in Hungary, and Túró Rudi is a bar of that cheese but with an outer coating of chocolate wrapped in the very recognizable white and red polka dots wrapping. As a snack it is quite healthy, as the chocolate coating is quite thin, and the Túró cheese has a low fat content (apparently about the same as yogurt) and no salt added.
Túró Rudi is extremely popular, and is definitely something unique to the Hungarian culture. If you pay attention you can see the distinguishable red polka dots on white background wrap everywhere in Hungary: being unwrapped tram, buses, and trains; waiting to be picked on supermarkets shelves; and unfortunately even littering the streets. Blame it on the chocolate coating, but Túró Rudi is something that everyone enjoys, even tourists tasting it for the first time. http://nakedhungary.com/2009/07/08/turo-rudi-the-hungarian-national-snack/
