A Dominostein (meaning domino tile, plural Dominosteine) is a confection primarily sold during Christmas season in Germany and Austria.[1]
It is a layered confection, related to the Mille-feuille, opera cake, Punschkrapfen, and Jaffa Cakes. Dominostein has a base of Lebkuchen (gingerbread), a middle layer of jelly (e.g. from sour cherries or apricots), and a top layer of marzipan or persipan. It is enveloped in (typically) dark chocolate.[1][2]
