5 Swedish Chocolates with Interesting Names

When we travel, one of my favorite things to do is to go to the Grocery store to see what kind of Candy bars they have. Every country has different ones and some are pretty tasty. It's nice to discover some new ones when we are visiting a new country. 

After we first moved to Sweden, of course I had to start trying the new candy. Bulk candy or candy by weight is HUGE in Sweden. This is only because traditionally Saturdays are when kids get to eat candy. Check out my other post on "Saturday Sweets".  Swedes and Scandinavians also love Licorice. It's really an acquired taste. My favorite type of candy has to be Chocolate and lucky for me, here is also wide variety of chocolate bars in Sweden.  

Here are some Chocolate bars you can find at the grocery store or a corner store (7Eleven or Pressbyrån) that stand out because they have some interesting/unusual names.
Note: The Chocolates are Swedish and two of them are in fact Finnish.

Japp

Marabou is a big Swedish Chocolate company, they make big bars of chocolate and various candy.
One of their chocolate bars is called Japp. Pronounced "Yapp". This one stuck out because in English it would be "Japp" with the J. 

Plopp

This one has to be one of the funnier names for a Candy bar. Plopp is Milk Chocolate filled iwth Caramel. This candy bar is made by Cloetta, a Swedish nut and confectionary company.

Kina

I looked for the chocolate  bars it in stores recently and couldn't find it anymore. I did see some bigger candy bags with the Kina logo though. There's even a hat above the A that looks like a Hat that farmers would wear while working in the fields. I don't get why it's called that. Fazer is a Finnish brand.

Dumle

Milk chocolate covered chewy caramel. This is also made by Finnish company, Fazer and very popular in Sweden.

Pigall

Pigall is whipped hazelnut truffles with a coating of milk chocolate. I haven't actually tried this Chocolate yet, but just noticed it in the shop. 

All the candy bars vary in price. The chocolate bars can be around 10-15 Swedish Crowns at the regular grocery store. And it looks like these are all milk chocolate so if you're more interested in Dark chocolate, it may be too sweet for you.

If you're in Sweden or plan to visit sometime, add these to your list to try or bring back as souvenirs/gifts. Enjoy your treats and remember, don't forget your snacks!
