<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I thought it would be a plain chocolate cookie with a chocolate- and mint filling (like Swedish <a href="http://reviewstand.blogspot.se/2014/07/remi-mint.html" target="_blank">Remi</a> I reviewed a year ago). But it wasn't. This was a typical for Sweden a chewy oat cookie, called <i>havreflarn </i>which Gille is famous for, that I don't like at all. The thin dark chocolate coating had a slight mint flavour, which actually improved the oat cookie a bit, but when you don't like these types of cookies in the first place it wasn't a hit with me.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Nudossi </b>is
a German hazelnut and nougat-spread similar to Nutella. Even though
Nutella is promoted as being "the superior hazelnut-spread brand" it
only contains about 13-14% hazelnuts while Nudossi contains 36%. And you
can really taste the difference in hazelnuts which sets it apart from the original (Nutella).</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUQdHAT8sMU8Emh6P3NHLoprWN25xVDY_TbShWESoAtcGN-4XhDLMsGH9p8RRhO7QX7C5S94X2wcrBH-yBDnWU1TRjAnq07SOqs7ElwUpdfRK5kffX54QvWISJUOZetl1TPppExyOHGmKe/s1600/nudossi3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUQdHAT8sMU8Emh6P3NHLoprWN25xVDY_TbShWESoAtcGN-4XhDLMsGH9p8RRhO7QX7C5S94X2wcrBH-yBDnWU1TRjAnq07SOqs7ElwUpdfRK5kffX54QvWISJUOZetl1TPppExyOHGmKe/s320/nudossi3.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The toasted hazelnuts dominates the flavor and even if it probably has the same amount of sugar as Nutella it doesn't taste as sweets, which is nice. The chocolaty taste is more subtle. I haven't had Nutella for some years but I still thinks is the better one as a hazelnut-spread because of the classic taste, but I liked the strong hazelnut flavor in Nudossi. I bought it in individual packages of 6 "strips" but you can also find it in jars. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Brio Grädd</b> (<i>grädde </i>meaning cream in Swedish) is a hard toffee with a cream and caramel flavour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The toffees are small and flat and has a distinct caramel smell and the flavour is both rich caramel and full, heavy cream. The flavour are great, but the main problem with this toffee is it's too sticky. It's hard at first, then it gets softer when you chew on it and suddenly it's stock onto your teeth. And not too easy to get off either. So you shouldn't have teeth problems if you wanna eat these.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Maybe they had been on the shelf for a while and harden up? A long time since I had those and they always been sticky, but not this much. Brio also comes in a fruit flavour. The lower grade is just for the texture, otherwise it would be a 3.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It has a strong and fruity strawberry smell and the taste is also very strawberry. Even though it's artificial it's quite good and I'm sensitive to unnatural flavours. The marshmallow is chewier than the American kind and I like this texture better. There is some sugar dust on top, which is a bit odd though. It's the same kind of candy like these <a href="http://reviewstand.blogspot.se/2014/11/juleskum-pepparka.html" target="_blank">Juleskum</a> but Julenisse is individual wrapped and bigger, which fits these marshmallows better because one is enough in my opinion. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Now for another julmust (christmas soda) review, which I talked about <a href="http://reviewstand.blogspot.se/2014/11/apotekarnes-julmust.html" target="_blank">here</a>. For some year now it's become trendy for breweries to release premium, aged julmust. Some aged on oak or rum barrels, but still alcohol free off course. <b>Dufvenkrooks Julmust Original</b> in a glass bottle is a newcomer this year and according to the label it's aged 1 year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The head is very foamy and after the first sip you don't notice anything special about it, just a sweet, malty julmust. But after a few drinks the sweetness fades out and the taste gets to be more beerlike with particularly distinct hops flavour. It's interesting how the flavour deepens and changes but there are also a not so nice bitter and metallic aftertaste. Great to try it, but one time was enough. I want julmust to be a little sweeter.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Karl Fazer </span></b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">is chocolate tablets from Finnish candy manufacturer Fazer, which are also sold in Sweden but in a limited variety. Their latest edition is a winter themed dark chocolate with apple bits, caramel and hazelnuts.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dark chocolate is rich in flavour and when you take a bit you get the crunchiness of the caramel (which are hard), some reminiscence of nuts and at the end the tartness of the apples. It's a great combination which gives room for all the flavours. In my opinion Fazer makes one of the best chocolates in Northern Europe in competition with Swizz ditos. It's rich and creamy but not too sweet. These chocolates are a perfect complement to a hot tea och coffee a cold autumn or winter day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Mårtensleverkorv med russin</b> is a liverwurst flavoured with raisins. It's a limited variety sold during November when the south of Sweden, particularly the province of Scania where I live, celebrates St. Martin's Day (Mårtensafton) with a big goose dinner, blood soup and this kind of liverwurst apparently. Personally I never heard of anyone eating liverwurst at St. Martin's Day but this special liverwurst is produced by several companies, so it must be in demand. This one specifically is made by Lantchark, a small, local meat producer in the heart of Scania.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I think liverwurst is more common down here in the south parts because of the closeness to the sausage's native Germany.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The liverwurst has a full flavour of creamy liver, allspice and cloves. The raisins doesn't do much for the overall taste but you know when you bite into one and their subtle sweetness. There's also a firmness which makes it more sausage-like than other brands which seems more like pâtés. It's a good quality product and you know Lantchark has their heart into what they're doing.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Apotekarnes Julmust </b>is the most classic brand of Swedish Christmas soda sold during the holidays in Sweden. Julmust (Christmas sap is the best translation) outsells Coca Cola every year and Swedes binge drinks approximately 45 million litres of julmust (!) during the Holiday season. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The julmust has a gentle, foamy head and a deep malty flavour. It contains both hop and malt extract but doesn't taste anything like beer. The flavour has a certain richness and depth, uncommon for a soda, and even if it's sweet I think the maltiness takes the top of the sweetness. It's a very unique taste actually and it's totally wrong when Wikipedia compares it to root beer. The tastes have nothing in common except for maybe the maltiness which are even more distinct in julmust than root beer.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are many julmust brands but Apotekarnes is the largest. It comes in different sizes like 33 cl cans, 50 cl glas bottles and 140 cl plastic bottles etc and the smaller ones obviously maintains the flavours best. A brand called Zeunerts, made in northern Sweden, is my favourite (may review it later) but Apotekarnes is always great and a classic which all other julmust brands are compared to.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Ako Chok</b> is a mint/chocolate toffee. It comes in two other varieties (Mint and Cream). The toffee has a interesting history because it was around for about 50 years or so and then it was discontinued in 2006. But people wanted it back so due to pressure it was re-released this autumn by Swedish candy manufacturer Cloetta.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's a chewy toffee where the mint flavour is more dominant than the chocolate. But it's a smooth mint flavour so even if the chocolate stays in the background you still get the feeling of both mint and chocolate. I remembered Ako vividly and was looking forward to the comeback. Some say it doensn't taste like before, but I think it does.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Marzipan is my favourite candy and if the German brand Niederegger is the Nr. 1 maker of marzipan, Danish chocolate manufacturer Anthon Berg comes 2nd. The things that sets these two makers apart are the distinct almond flavour and the lack of sugary sweetness, which isn't uncommon with other brands which makes the marzipan taste more like a lump of sugar than almonds.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anthon Berg also makes premium chocolates but are most famous for their marzipan bars, which is sold in mainly Denmark and Sweden.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anthon Berg Marzipan bars comes in 4-5 varieties and the newest edition is <b>Crispy Orange</b>. This was a really great bar! First of all, the dark chocolate cover has a great, balanced sweetness. The almond smelling marzipan is infused with tangy orange pieces which has a slightly bitterness, taking the top of any initial sweetness. This is tastewise like a chocolate bar for grown ups. A new favourite for me!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Oh, time again to review another Dumle variety. And another Christmas item! Earlier I reviewed <a href="http://reviewstand.blogspot.se/2014/07/dumle-dark.html" target="_blank">Dumle Dark</a> and <a href="http://reviewstand.blogspot.se/2014/07/dumle-snacks.html" target="_blank">Dumle Snacks</a>. For some Christmas Seasons now Dumle, these lovely chocolates filled with chewy toffee, has launched a <b>Dumle Gingerbread</b> variety.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The gingerbread flavour is pretty spicy here (cinnamon and clove comes to mind) and it can be almost overpowering with these spices blended with the slightly salty, chewy toffee. You get thirsty after a few and the taste gets kind of dull in long run. But they smell delightful</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Juleskum Pepparkaka</b> is a marshmallow candy with gingerbread flavour. <i>Pepparkaka </i>is Swedish for gingerbread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Juleskum (Christmas Marshmallows) is sold in Sweden during Christmas season and the original flavour is strawberry. But for a few years now the manufacturer Cloetta has made a special Juleskum taste for each year, which has included Winter Apples, Knäck (a hard toffee made in Sweden for Christmas) and this year it's Gingerbread.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Juleskum are shaped like little santas. The marshmallow are chewier than American type and lasts longer in the mouth. The gingerbread flavour in these are quite poignant and a bit too overwhelming I think. I got thirsty after a few. Also I noticed some hits of tangy cola flavour.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The chewy, French nougat tastes of almonds and notes of honey and blends well with the dark chocolate. The dark chocolate takes some necessary sweetness off of the French nougat and the two is a great combination. One of my favourite bars.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Grape sodas is not very easy to come by in Sweden and the only reference of another grape soda I've tasted is Fanta's (I imported Faygo from the UK by the way). Even if the grape soda flavour in both Fanta and Faygo is artificial off course, the grape flavour in Faygo tasted more of grape flavoured jelly gums than any reminiscence of natural grape flavour.It was too artificial for me and overly sweet (not uncommon for American sodas though). What I remember Fanta's grape version was better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Even though the puffed rice gives another dimension and makes the toffee chewier, it's doesn't improve the chocolate bits, and I do like the original Dumle better. I wouldn't understand why the sugar content in Dumle Snacks is higher but it tastes sweeter and it got me thirsty. I got tired of the taste pretty quickly. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Yankie</b>, also known as <i>Yankie Bar</i>, is Denmark's most famous chocolate bar with nougat and caramel covered in milk chocolate. A Danish version of Mars so to speak.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">It's made by Danish chocolate manufacturer Toms and according to Wikipedia, Toms was contacted after WW2 by the United States high command in Germany to produce a candy bar with a cocoa content similar to American candy bars (like Mars) so the American troops in Germany could get their beloved candy bars instead of the US having to import them to Europe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is an interesting fact because it explains why (I think) Yankie tastes inferior to other Danish chocolates (which generally holds a high quality); it has lower cocoa content like many American chocolate bars.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The lower cocoa content makes the bar taste overly sweet. There seems to be no difference between the chocolate and the nougat, it just a sugar tasting mash. The caramel flavour stands out but it can't save the bar. A real disaster, my lowest rating so far.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The hard liquorice bits are covered with salt but when the salt is licked off they have a sweeter, caramelesque liquorice taste and they get softer the more you chew. After a few you get thirsty so I glass of milk is a good companion to Djungelvrål. If you try them be prepared they are REALLY salty and if you're not use to salty liquorice it may take some time to get acquired to the taste.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Leopolds Magnifika Chocolate Chip Cookies </b>is a new variety of (big) chocolate chip cookies dipped in milk chocolate. They're produced by Sweden's largest cookie manufacturer, <i>Göteborgs Kex</i>, and the name Leopold is after the company's founder. He was Belgian so according to the package the chocolate is also from Belgium. <i>Magnifika</i> meaning magnificent in English has in this context probarbly a double meaning because of the Swedish word for coffee break, <i>fika</i>.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The cookie has big chunks of chocolate chip in them and they're both chewy and firm at the same time. Also the chocolate rim elevate the cookie even higher (also good to dip in tea/coffee). These chocolate chip cookies is hands down the best I've tasted apart from the American Keebler Chocolate Chips.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">There are 8 cookies per package (200 g) and they also comes in a mini cookie variety and a blueberry and chocolate chip variety.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Paolos Pizza Salsiccia</b> is a home-bake pizza with a tomato sauce base and topped with salsiccia, pecorino cheese and friarielli (a green leavy vegetable known in English as rabe). Swedish celebrity Paolo Roberto is the name behind the pizza. He's a former boxer nowadays mostly famous for his Italian cooking with numerous published cook books from his ancestral country and a product line of pasta, pasta sauces and pizzas. His pastas are very good but this pizza was a disappointment.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Like most Neapolitan style pizzas the crust was thin and even though I took it from the oven before time it was very hard. The tomato sauce had a deep and rich flavour which was a nice surprise and the salsiccia was tasteful, but the friarielli tasted of nothing and pecorino, which normally has a strong flavour, didn't come through at all. So overall the pizza tasted mostly of tomato sauce. It lacked flavours.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Punschrulle</b>, also known as <i>dammsugare</i> (meaning vacuum cleaner in Swedish haha), is one of Sweden's most popular pastries. The form is cylindrical and it's sort of a cookie crumble mash flavoured with arrack punch and covered in green coloured marzipan (and chocolate at the ends).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This one is made by Swedish pastry manufacturer Delicato. Even if the marzipan comes through it has a very heavy arrack punch flavour with some bitter notes. The flavour totally dominates the pastry. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Also if you look at the content there isn't any arrack punch or similar, just undefined "aromas" (not so appealing). I liked these much more before, maybe the changed the recipe? As always the best pastry is the one you buy fresh from a bakery shop.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Sportlunch Powerbreak 2 </b>has actually nothing to do with the original <a href="http://reviewstand.blogspot.se/2014/06/sportlunch.html">Sportlunch</a>, it has just borrowed the name. SL Powerbreak 2 is described in English on the package (why I wonder?) as a chunky chocolate bar with chewy chocolate nougat and almonds. There is also a Powerbreak 1 I might add, which is more similar to the original Sportlunch with the chocolate and wafer content.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anyway SL Powerbreak 2 is surprisingly good. I especially like how the chocolate nougat is both firm and chewy at the same time. At the first bite you think it's gonna be crumbly but it isn't. But I would like to notice the almond slivers a bit more.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Compared to Mars it's lighter and the nougat is chewier. I actually prefer Japp to Mars because it's less sweet, so it doesn't become so overwhelmingly sugary with both chocolate, nougat and caramel. </span></div>
