Pflaumentoffel (probably etymologically related to Toffel, meaning 'stupid, clumsy person')^[1][2] is a traditional German edible sweet in the shape of a human figure made from dried or baked prunes and produced by bakeries, pastry shops and gingerbread makers for children for Christmas.

The sweet became known through its sale at the Dresden Striezelmarkt.^[3]
