Thanks for watching! What is your favorite Christmas candy? 🎄🍬 Also, a big thank you to Sweetish Candy and Goods for sponsoring this video. Make sure to check them out online at the very least! (Link to website in video description)
The real christmas candy is home made :) Like home made ginger bread, lussebullar (safron buns) (we eat lussebullar on advent and on lucia, before christmas) and knäck. In my family we also eat salt almonds and a really good chocolate fudge. //swede
To add to this, such candy canes are also very popular among middle-grade schools to purchase in bulk and the pupils re-sell them at a larger markup to help finance a school trip. There's also a few other popular items used for this, like cookies and fudges. While personally not too big a fan of candy canes, the brand you got - "Gränna", is in my opinion the best producer by far. Their flavor saltlakrits(salty licorice) candy cane is almost righteous. :D
Its popular to microwave the candy cane from Gränna for a few seconds and pour it over ice cream. It isn't a typical candy for christmas though, it's most popular during summer with 400-500 flavours (possibly more) and it comes in different shapes for example lollipops or small bites formed almost as little boats (polkagrisar - "polka-piglets") . The most classic (original) flavour is the mint version in red and white colours.
Our (swedish and the rest of Scandianvia) "blåbär" are much smaller than the american blueberries. The american blueberries are also more white on the inside compared to the swedish ones, from what I've noticed. When eating them your whole mouth get purple/blue. Personally I think the swedish ones taste better and have a softer texture. PS. the last way Haley pronounced Marabou was pretty darn close to how it actually is pronounced
@@zambar_z357 yes they are related :) I think they are different though. Looks different (different size, different color on the meat), feels different and tastes different and different names. I love the crispy texture of American blueberries :) American blueberries with milk and sugar 👍🏼🥣 swedish blueberry pie though (smulpaj with crust) with vanilla sauce 👍🏼
i'm swedish and my absolutely favorite christmas treat is knäck. Knäck is like "caramel" bites with chopped almond or sea salt on top. It is absolutely amazing!! I really love these videos! Would love to see more!
About winter glow: Mulled wine is known as glögg in sweden. I think it originaly came from germany in the form of Glühwein. It is a spiced wine that is heated before drinking. It is usually served with almonds and raisins in sweden and is mostly only sold in the winter. Also the sandwich original is most likely swedish as the company making the icecream "GB glass" is swedish.
Fun fact: Sweden's most profiled economy professor, Micael Dahlén, is a spokesperson for Juleskum, and gets to eat as much of their products as he wants.
All of these things looked wonderful. Really nice of Sweetish. Have a wonderful Christmas both 🙂 and little Sage of course. I hope you all enjoy the holiday season
Watch nature shows with Marabou storks and you’ll know how to pronounce it. Christmas for me is julmust, gingerbread and saffron buns (saffranlussekatter).
Gränna is a little town in Sweden that its known for there polkagrisar.( the long tutti frutti lolly) Its a woman that started making the candy long time ago I think she became a widow and had to make money for her and her son. Now its a lot of small polkagris factorys that make them in that small town. ( many other flavours and candys that is based on the womans recepies)❤❤ MORE INFO en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gränna
I've actually worked both at Marabou factory in Stockholm and later at Fazer warehouse in Malmö. That was in the 80's. We could eat as much as we wanted. I really loved chocolate then. I don´t anymore....
Gränna "stick" is a polkagris, which people in USA call candy cane i think? they are usually white and red and minty, but Gränna make all kind of flavors, after warming it up it becomes more of a chewy candy, unless it is old and then it is just hard and a bit flakey
The main reason it’s called julskum doesn’t have anything (mainly) to do with flavor, but for the reason it almost exclusively comes out around Christmas. We do have Skum candy year round but the Santa, Christmas tree etc is only available during Christmas. There by getting the name julskum
The brand on those small gingerbread flavord with filling comes from a company that is more known for their icecreams. The company is "GlassBolaget" often shorted to GB. That heart shaped logo is the logotype they are using.
If you ever try a candy stick like that again and want to share, keep it in the paper and hit it against the table a couple of times and it will break into more managable pieces.
When i think of christmas i think of all good food we have here in Sweden like Janssons frestelse (Janssons temptation) ångkål, herring and gravad lax. When i think of cake i think of Stollen. Its a german fruitcake that i sometimes bake. Love it!
I wish that someone would've sent you a box of real gingerbread and a bottle of glögg (mulled wine). We drink that hot, with raisins and almonds in it.
When you pronounce Swedish you need to think of the vowels almost like notes/tones. So for "pepparkaka" generally the first vowel will be up, the second down, third up and fourth down. Google translate actually got it pretty well for this word. When native English speakers do Swedish the thing they seem to struggle the most with is the melody of the words. When you listen closely there's a Lot of melody elements in Swedish.
Hi guys! ”Pepparkaka” Peppar-the spice pepper, kaka-cake but to us ”gingerbread”. Sugarcanecandy from Gränna: In 1859, Amalia Eriksson received permission from the magistrate in Gränna to run a sugar bakery and make caramels. She was the first to make candy canes. The production, in a former customs house at the then southern entrance to Gränna, developed well, and Amalia Eriksson eventually gained several successors with polka pig production in the city. Polka pigs are named after the dance polka which was popular at the time. At this time, pigs were a general term for sweets, which should have contributed to the name. A polar pig is seldom shaped like a pig; on the other hand, the rod can often have a hook at one end (to make it easier to hang in a Christmas tree and is then called a pole stick. Best regards Peter
Candy people is kind of a new candy company in Sweden (most of our brands are 100 year old but they are younger) If memory serve the are based in Malmö so close to Denmark and they sell to the Danish and Swedish market. And polkagris is super duper traditional and Gränna is like the one place in Sweden that produces them. The whole town is old and there are a lot of tourist visiting for the polkagris.
Sandwich is an ice cream made by a swedish ice cream company. Gränna is a small town in Sweden, where polkagrisar (polka pigs) are made in the old way. No machines, made by hand. When I eat a polkagris I break it into pieces.
Marabou is an amazing chocolate, everyone who have tried it love it. It's now owned by an American company so I'm kinda surprised they dont try to sell it more in the states ( you can get them at Ikea). But it's 10 times better than Hersheys.
Oh great... The USA must have the monopoly of EVERYTHING that is much better than anything that they have ever come up with. No offense, that's just my opinion.
How candy canes are made: th-cam.com/video/IjfA4j2Ibsk/w-d-xo.html I know the video is in Swedish but the important information in it is that the dough is 145 degrees C when they pour it on the stainless steel table. The dough is made from water, sugar and vinegar. The part they color (red in this video) is for decoration only, it has no taste of its own. The stainless steel table is water cooled to get the temperature down so they can work with the dough. The peppermint flavour is dripped in the dough during the twisting and folding. Happy Holidays to you!
Fun fact about the Bilberry vs American Blueberries, is that most swedish blueberries(Bilberries) grow wild in the forest, instead of beeing cultivated. While they grow in the wild, they are usually smaller and darker(which can be shown below) pbs.twimg.com/media/BxfVLQ1CUAAjou0.jpg And becouse they are not cultivated, and instead take more time to mature, they have up to 70% more anthocyanins (antioxidants), as the American Blueberry only have anthocyanins in the skin of the berry, while the Bilberry has it throughout the flesh aswell, and therefor have a stronger taste. Love your videos and reactions to swedish candy! Hope you guys one day get a chance to visit our great country in the North and depending on the time of the year, maybe even experiance Aurora Borealis :) PS, would love to see a reaction montage about you guys watching the "Great Swedish Adventure" www.greatswedishadventure.com/ which is a swedish television series called "Allt för Sverige" about americans, exploring their swedish roots.
Just so you know the percentage on the darker type of chocolate stands for the amount of cacao that's in the chocolate, the higher percentage the more cacao aka darker and depending on favouring more or less bitter
Three very good and classical swedish crhristmas candies is Knäck -. Butterscotch with nuts Ischoklad - ice chocolate (not real ice) that is sweet chocolate that melts in your mouth Rostade mandlar med smak av apelsin(orange)och pepparkaka, - Roasted almonds with a taste of orange and gingerbread Jummie 😀🤶🤶🤶😄
A tip, most of the chocolate bars 🍫 are supposed to be opened the same way as marabou because you can close the packaging again. You just run the edges with the sealer between your index finger and your thumb. 😊😉
Blåbär is the same word as the english blueberry. Swedish blueberries are smaller, sweeter and has more colour. I like to mix the two in cakes. The american version doesen't get as soggy and stay pretty. 😄
@@EmA-oo9xk I'm English. We have bilberries here but have not heard them called blueberries. I'm sure they're different from what the Americans call blueberries. They grow wild here.
The original candy canes, white and red (peppermint) is actually originally from Gränna, the same brand you just tried. Located in, Gränna, Sweden. Marabou is pronounced the same in English, as it is the same name for a kind of stork (Marabou Stork)
Bilberry is the European blueberry. They are of the same family as the American kind. Ours is much more concentrated in flavor and color. They are purple on the inside and smaller. There are actually many types of blueberries, not just one.
Favorite sweet thing to eat -saffron buns ( Lussekatter / saffransbullar in Swedish we eat them all christmas and on Sankta Lucia day it’s on the 13 th of December . You can also eat with cream and almond paste that is called Semla in Swedish. To drink of course we drink Julmust from the brand Apotekarna.Merry Christmas.
That Sandwich candy bar u guys ate, is a kind of candy copy of one of the most popular ice-creams in Sweden, -called "Sandwich" :D. And yes, -its a Vanilla ice-cream with semi soft Gingerbred. We do love the Gingerbread in Sweden. Gingerbread = Pepparkaka. (Peppar = pepper, Kaka = cake). Usually Pepparkaka is more spicy then the then USA gingerbread. Sweden and Finland have a history, so some stuff is shard, tast in candy is one of those shard things. Marabou and Coletta is Swedish Companys. Fazer is Finnish. So the chocolate is very similar. And there some candy that is more or less unique for Sweden/Finland. Ex. Very salty or sour liquorice.
As a swede and American i cannot say there's any big difference in blueberry taste. Sure when you pick them fresh in the forest they taste better. But it's negotiable in my opinion. Taste the same in Costco as it does in ICA.
I was just about to type "Julmust" when you brought out the can. Another thing that I associate with christmas is not a flavour, but a smell. The smell that fills the air when you blow out a live candle. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm not a live candle person. I only use them around christmas. I had to check wikipedia about that Blueberry/Bilberry thing. My english/swedish dictionary have both words but does not clarify that "Bilberry" is the american word for european blueberry.
As a Swede, I have to say the best chocolate in Europe is... ...Finnish, Belgian and Swiss. The French varieties are decent, too. Germans are right up there near France. Sweden...we make *some* good chocolate, but not on the scale of the other guys. Most is done by smaller candy companies. Edit: And yeah, our blueberries are different from yours. Smaller, more flavorful. Part of it is natural, the other is that American fruits and veggies are often grown for size over flavor (it's why tomatoes in major American grocery stores are actually kind of flavorless compared to what you find in smaller farmer's markets). Edit edit: Also? We have two varieties of gingerbread - both are spicier than the American versions (the Finnish is even more spicy, and usually both larger and slightly softer). Regular gingerbread cookies are thin and crunchy and are awesome dipped in glögg (or coffee!). Soft gingerbread has the texture of bundt cake, except a little softer, and is awesome.
American chocolate has minimum 20% cocoa solid in Milk chocolate to be called chocolate in Europe it is 25% and Finland used have 30%, I dont know how it is to day.
How nice that you like blueberry and gingerbread, but I do think you found out now, candy from Sweden and Finland are not do sweet as American candy and taste close to natural... Wishes at 3 langues, Merry Christmas, God Jul, Hyvä joulua..🎁🎉 See you at 2021"

Pepparkaka and home-made candy. Julmust and of course Glögg. If you haven't tried Glögg, that's a must try.
@@systerkeno glögg is mulled wine
Ischoklad or ”icechocolate” is my favorite
The tuttifrutti stick is a form of candy cane the original is mint. Gränna is the city of candycanes by we calls them polkagris

The swedish blueberries are actually bilberries. So it is a different berry :)
Bilberries and American blueberries are actually not that different. They both belong to the same genus, Vaccinium.
@@zambar_z357 yes they are related :) I think they are different though. Looks different (different size, different color on the meat), feels different and tastes different and different names.

Well…….a box of Aladdin chocolate, of course!

Love that there is only Swedes and Finns here 😄❤️
We love it too :)

You guys are soooo cool

Hailey said the word Marabou perfectly the last time she said it, at 14.44! Well done! 😁
Thanks! Good to know that one of us can say it right 😜
That shocked me
Mulled wine is like the german glüwine. It is a sweet wine with cristmass spices witch is heated and then you drink it
In Sweden we say "glögg"
The Marabou Pepparkaka bar is really good. Both Marabou and Fazer are great chocolate. Most Marabou chocolate bars are really good.
All of these things looked wonderful. Really nice of Sweetish. Have a wonderful Christmas both 🙂 and little Sage of course. I hope you all enjoy the holiday season
Thanks, Helen! We are super appreciate of Sweetish for wanting us to do these videos. Have a Merry Christmas, too! 🎄
I believe the packaging said neither Grenna nor Granna- it was Gränna. (Ää, Öö, and Åå are all distinct letters in Swedish)
Marabou plain chocolate is nice, but the best is their orangecrisp chocolate, marabou is prounaced maraboo 🙂
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thanks for making this weird year a little better.
Come over here and taste the blueberries directly from the forest and tast the difference
Thanks for a great video!! Merry Christmas!! God Jul!!🎄
You are welcome! Thanks for watching and enjoying it!! Merry Christmas and God Jul to you too!
Pepparkaka, choklad och julmust is christmas to me.
Watch nature shows with Marabou storks and you’ll know how to pronounce it.

Yep the Swedish blueberry taste a lot more than the American blueberry

When trying to pronounce Marabou you can try to think of the “Mar a” from Mar a Lago and the “bou” from caribou.
Thanks for the tip!
Or like Malibu... 😉 But with "ra" instead of "li"...
knäck / butterscotch is the Essentials christmas candy you make at home
Marabou is an amazing chocolate, everyone who have tried it love it. It's now owned by an American company so I'm kinda surprised they dont try to sell it more in the states ( you can get them at Ikea). But it's 10 times better than Hersheys.
Mondelez might have their own brand in the US, they also own Cadbury and Milka.

Oh great... The USA must have the monopoly of EVERYTHING that is much better than anything that they have ever come up with.
No offense, that's just my opinion.
The 2020 julskum blåbär is the tast of this year and next year it will be a new tast. greetings from Gothenburg
christmas is Julmust, Ginger bread and Mulled wine... but also chocolates..

Fun fact about the Bilberry vs American Blueberries, is that most swedish blueberries(Bilberries) grow wild in the forest, instead of beeing cultivated.
While they grow in the wild, they are usually smaller and darker(which can be shown below)
pbs.twimg.com/media/BxfVLQ1CUAAjou0.jpg
And becouse they are not cultivated, and instead take more time to mature, they have up to 70% more anthocyanins (antioxidants), as the American Blueberry only have anthocyanins in the skin of the berry, while the Bilberry has it throughout the flesh aswell, and therefor have a stronger taste.

As someone from sweden the main things for me would be the Julmust and Knäck (butterscotch)
Just so you know the percentage on the darker type of chocolate stands for the amount of cacao that's in the chocolate, the higher percentage the more cacao aka darker and depending on favouring more or less bitter
We are aware of that, but thanks for sharing just in case we didn’t know 😉
Three very good and classical swedish crhristmas candies is

Hmmm...I wonder if we can...
The original candy canes, white and red (peppermint) is actually originally from Gränna, the same brand you just tried. Located in, Gränna, Sweden.

That Sandwich candy bar u guys ate, is a kind of candy copy of one of the most popular ice-creams in Sweden, -called "Sandwich" :D. And yes, -its a Vanilla ice-cream with semi soft Gingerbred.
We do love the Gingerbread in Sweden. Gingerbread = Pepparkaka. (Peppar = pepper, Kaka = cake).
Usually Pepparkaka is more spicy then the then USA gingerbread.
Sweden and Finland have a history, so some stuff is shard, tast in candy is one of those shard things.
Marabou and Coletta is Swedish Companys. Fazer is Finnish. So the chocolate is very similar.
And there some candy that is more or less unique for Sweden/Finland. Ex. Very salty or sour liquorice.
Gingerbread sandwich är INSANE, så jävla god.
No "Dammsugare" huh? Well good video and marry christmas to you!
The peppermint stick actually originates from Gränna, Sweden.
As a swede and American i cannot say there's any big difference in blueberry taste. Sure when you pick them fresh in the forest they taste better. But it's negotiable in my opinion. Taste the same in Costco as it does in ICA.
Fresh blueberries at ICA are almost always the ”american” kind, so that is why, frozen are on the other hand mostly the swedish kind
The A's in Marabou is suppose to be pronounced like the first A in Amazing.
Candypeople is a swedish company from Malmö (A city south in sweden) .
Gränna makes handmade laaarge candy canes, in all types of flavors, they are such a classic.
Oh yeah, and Marabou is pronounced Mara-Boo
probably closer to Mah-rah-boo since the mara i can see them not being sure on the pronounciation.
I hear it pronounced like groan/grown because of Gröna Lund in Stockholm (which is across the street from the ABBA museum).
It's Gränna. Candy Canes were invented in Gränna, Sweden. =)
I really like spicy candy with gingerbread or cinnamon flavour.
You may not know this but we drink mulled wine at Christmas.
I was just about to type "Julmust" when you brought out the can. Another thing that I associate with christmas is not a flavour, but a smell. The smell that fills the air when you blow out a live candle. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm not a live candle person. I only use them around christmas.
I had to check wikipedia about that Blueberry/Bilberry thing. My english/swedish dictionary have both words but does not clarify that "Bilberry" is the american word for european blueberry.
american blueberry is white on the inside, while "nordic" blueberries are blue/red straight through

Yes u can get those sticks in like tiny squares candy caramels
As a Swede, I have to say the best chocolate in Europe is...
...Finnish, Belgian and Swiss. The French varieties are decent, too. Germans are right up there near France. Sweden...we make *some* good chocolate, but not on the scale of the other guys. Most is done by smaller candy companies.
Edit: And yeah, our blueberries are different from yours. Smaller, more flavorful. Part of it is natural, the other is that American fruits and veggies are often grown for size over flavor (it's why tomatoes in major American grocery stores are actually kind of flavorless compared to what you find in smaller farmer's markets).
Edit edit: Also? We have two varieties of gingerbread - both are spicier than the American versions (the Finnish is even more spicy, and usually both larger and slightly softer). Regular gingerbread cookies are thin and crunchy and are awesome dipped in glögg (or coffee!). Soft gingerbread has the texture of bundt cake, except a little softer, and is awesome.
Gingerbread works fine with cold milk too... 😎
The pepparkaka (sandwich candy) is Swedish.
She said marabou right the last time :)
American chocolate has minimum 20% cocoa solid in Milk chocolate to be called chocolate in Europe it is 25% and Finland used have 30%, I dont know how it is to day.
Marabou is pronounced like Malibu

How nice that you like blueberry and gingerbread, but I do think you found out now, candy from Sweden and Finland are not do sweet as American candy and taste close to natural...
