Bubblig Mjölkchoklad

Bubblig Mjölkchoklad is Marabou's take on milk chocolate with air bubbles like Cadbury Bubbly, Milka Lulflée and Norweigan Stratos etc.

As always the Marabou milk chocolate is creamy and milky (one of the best I've tasted) and the air bubbles melts in your mouth but there's still chewiness which makes it more interesting to eat than a plain chocolate bar. Bubblig Mjölkchoklad is only sold in 60 g bars but I think it's a good, moderate size. Otherwise it would be easy to overeat and get tired of the taste.

For some reason it's quite expensive at 15 kr (£1,30) when chocolates in similar size doesn't cost more than 10 kr (90 p).

Center

Center is a Swedish milk chocolate bar filled with caramel. 

It's made by Swedish candy manufacturer Cloetta which also makes the similar chocolate Plopp, known in UK (I think). Both Center and Plopp are milk chocolates with caramel fillings but the main different is that the sugar content is higher in Plopp and the filling is denser in Center.

The smooth milk chocolate blends well with the caramel, which tastes more of sugar than toffee. My only complain about it is that (as pointed out before) the caramel isn't gooey but thick so you don't get the fluidness typically associated with caramel.

Nuts

Nuts is a milk chocolate bar which contains hazelnuts, caramel and nougat. It's made by Nestlé and available in most European countries (but not in Scandinavia).

Nuts reminds me a lot of Mars but with hazelnuts. The white nougat makes it less dense than a Mars bar and the caramel, hazelnuts and nougat comes together well in Nuts. The hazelnuts breaks off the sweetness and their bitterness in Nuts are welcomed.

Lakritz Toffee

Lakritz Toffee, made by Perfetti Van Melle, is a Dutch chewy liquorice which tastes both sweet and salty. They're individually wrapped in 10 pieces per bar.

Compared to another saltysweet liquorice I've tried, Kick Seasalt, Lakritz Toffee are sweeter and chewier, but the salty notes of liquorice still present. Despite the "toffee" name there is no toffee or caramel flavour and it's probably referring to the candy's chewiness.

These Lakritz Toffee are favourites from my childhood but they are no longer available in Sweden. But they are still made in Netherlands and available there (and Germany I guess). Luckily I found them online.

Pick Salami

Pick salami from Hungary is undoubtedly the country's most famous salami product. It's a winter salami which is a Hungarian type of cured salami made from mangalitsa (a breed of pig) pork, pork belly fat and spices like allspice, white pepper etc. On the outside there is a noble mould which is formed during ripening process.

Spicy salamis (which often has the most flavors) are not my cup of tea and that's is probarbly why I like Pick salami so much because it's very flavourful but still mild. The dominat flavor of cured pork is rich and savoury but not too salty and in the spice department there's some reminiscence of allspice. The salami itself does feel more lean than similiar salami products even though it's kind of fatty.

Crispello Double Choc

Crispello Double Choc is a crispy wafer bar covered with milk chocolate and filled with creamy chocolate. It contains three crispy shells.

Cadbury milk chocolates is usually too sweet for me. Crispello had that sweetness but it was stilled by the wafer I guess, because it wasn't overwhelming. The chocolate had a a strong creamy, malty smell and the wafer tasted of creamy milk chocolate and nougat. It was also nice that the wafer was split in three parts, made it feel lighter.

Punchpokal

Punchpokal is a round, dark chocolate filled with arrack punch creme. Although it's made by Danish candy manufacturer Toms, arrack punsch is a typical Swedish arrack liquor which is severely sweet in taste.

The dark chocolate is delicate and the creme is rich in vanilla flavour and tastes distinctly of arrack punsch (Punchpokal probarbly has the most alcoholic flavor of those three, alcoholic creme chocolates I've tasted). The sweet liquor flavour and dark chocolate goes very well together. It's simply delicious.
