These were called "Neekerinsuukko" which translates into "Nigger's Kiss" and they were sold under that name well over into the 2000's. It's basically a chocolate egg with a flat waffle bottom and filled with this white creamy filling.
I'm not sure if you can actually call that "racist" candy as I don't think whoever made it had any bad intentions behind it. It's just the name of it that aged a little badly. Nowdays these are just called "Kisses"
They were called chocolate babies in the 80s/90s and think they still go by that name but are no longer made by a major manufacturer
