I talk about sweets and Sankt Martin tradition in Germany and completely forget the most important part of it - no, not the fire, Weckmännchen.
Weckmännchen - that's what they are called in my part of Germany, they may have different names in other parts, I've heard Stutenmann at least once - are men (well gender has to be guessed) made of bread and may be covered by sugar or almonds. Very tasty, in particular with a nice thick layer of chocolate cream on top of it.
Here is a recipe and a nice picture for one. The pipe is definitively not optional.
