What's the best Finnish candy?

Taste reminds me of a US product: Quaker Blueberries and Cream Instant Oatmal. Just a bit too sweet for me - I'll stick with Toblerone white chocolate.

I agree, or the hersheys cookies and cream, I like a little more cocoa butter in mine.

A few fun thoughts for the chocolate lovers out there.

The 12-step chocoholics program: NEVER BE MORE THAN 12 STEPS AWAY FROM CHOCOLATE!

Nobody knows the truffles I've seen!

The three best pleasures in life are scratching, sneezing and eating chocolate.

Will work for chocolate.

Forget love -- I'd rather fall in chocolate!!!

There’s more to life than chocolate, but not right now

Nothing chocolate.... nothing gained.

I think I'll go buy some chocolate right now.

While scratching chocolate is odd, I have done that. I've never sneezed it, though.

You remember the slogan?

"Tupla hyvää kahdelle"
(though I add)
- parempaa vain yhdelle

"ei taida tyttö tietää että seinän takan olis patukkaa tarjolla" (1990´s indy jonesesque ads)

I love
-Brunberg's Alku toffee
-Kouvolan Lakritsi
-Fazerin Parhain
-Hedelmäaakkoset
-Dumle

I also really like Turkish Peppers and UFOs that you can find in most of the Pick and Mix places.

But more than anything I love English Toffee and Fudge. I eat these far too much here in Wales. It is a pity that you can not really find these in Finland

Tadpole'sMommy I interpret it as meaning getting a nice scratch on your back, you mean youv'e never used a back scratcher before. And as for a sneeze, haven't you noticed how relaxed you feel after a big sneeze

almost the same feeling you get when you eat chocolate

OK im streching it lol

Naavaneito you can make your own

Engish toffee and Fudge

that I think is oh so much better than store bought.

I have this theory that chocolate slows down the aging process.... It may not be true, but do I dare take the chance?

Tyrkisk Peber - Extra Hot is my favourite. This is the stuff they use to make salmiakki koskenkorva.

Fazer's Omar are not so different from english fudge, they are just a bit small. You can get bog standard fudge or rum'n'rasin in most irtokarkki places - e.g. Filmtown.

Fazerin sininen. It's a classic.

What? Surrender yourself to the Candy God, for the Day of Gummi Bears is nigh! You won’t get this sweet deal anywhere else, honey! (Non-believers shall feel the eternal burn of Tyrkisk Peber [1] and Sisu Horna on what’s left of their mucous membranes.)

But in Estonia do check the "Kalev" brand, chocklates and sweets. Theres a special "crispy white chocklate with blueberry" that is my favorite.
The Kalev crispy white blueberry chocolate bars are on sale at the 1st floor coffee shop (on a separate free standing display unit) in Espoo's Sello mall first floor (by the escalators/stage). 2.50 for a huge block, and there's also a smaller normal size bar.

Citymarket has them too, or at least CM in Iso Omena & Sello in Espoo, in free standing stands. But I've seen only the normal size bars there. In Sello they were close to the soft drinks and in Iso Omena where the other candies are (disclaimer: this was a couple of months ago, so dunno if they still are there).

To me they were ok, but not that special. There are other cheap chocolates that taste about the same, like the ones from Lidl.

My all time favorite is the previously mentioned Brunberg's Truffle (blue and white). It has been a love affair for me since I was a small kid. They are not the best truffles around (I just bought some Belgian, unfortunately I don't remember the brand, that were truly amazing), but there is just something special about those Brunberg's.

fazer and marabou chocolate are both quite good (particularly marabou hazelnut). i like panda licorice as well, but i miss the lollies from back home. i'd take a pack of allen's strawberries and cream or kool mints over anything i can find here.

I bought a bar of Lavender chocolate today. It was a special treat from me to me (because I had a minor disaster with a cup of tea late last night, no personal injury but a few paperwork issues to clear up

- good enough excuse for chocolate).

Anyway, don't bother, it is REALLY disgusting and yes, it does taste of lavender.
