On average, a Swedish person will eat 17 kilos of candy per year, with weekly consumption of an average family of four being 1,2 kilos per week. Colaflaskor are cola-flavored, chewy gummies. They aren’t unique to Sweden, but they are certainly a popular choice in the candy aisle!

Pour mixture out onto a long piece of cling-film so you have a long, rough "sausage" shape. Roll up the cling-film and gently squeeze, roll and push until your "salami" is smooth and round. Twist the ends of the cling-film tightly. Put in the fridge for another hour. Seriously though, it’s the thrill of making something for a purpose that I enjoy most, like birthday cakes.

Anyway, here’s my competition entry: a chocolate salami, full with Polly goodies. Don’t worry, there’s no meat involved, this is pure chocolate goodness and it’s dee-vine! Continuing the car theme, Ferraribilar are a large, chewy (not overly soft) gummy candy shaped like Ferrari race cars. They are made by Toms, a Danish candy brand that produces some of the most popular dummies and chocolates across the Nordic region. Swedish candy, also known as Swedish godis (the Swedish word for candy), is something of a cultural touchstone in Sweden. Choosing candy at the end of the week, called Fredagsmys (“cozy Friday”) is a major moment for kids and adults alike. I’ve seen fancy ones done up with string, but the instructions for how to tie the string were harder to understand than the theory of relativity, so I left it out.

Similar to Rolo, Center is a small cylindrical chocolate with a soft caramel filling that comes in a roll. These were first introduced in Sweden in 1941 and have been hugely popular ever since. There is also a bar version. We’re sorry to break the bad news: Swedes don’t actually eat those red Swedish fish. There is a fairly popular fish-shaped candy in Sweden, but they are a salty liquorice flavor. The red fish are popular around the world, just not in Sweden. They have too many other candies to focus on! Stir in whatever it is you are using and then place the bowl in the fridge for around an hour so it sets a little. A note: some of the candies included here are produced by Fazer, a Finnish company. As with the rest of the Nordic region, Fazer confectionary is extremely popular in Sweden and so leaving out their products wouldn’t give a clear picture of the Swedish candy landscape! In the 1940s, the Swedish government conducted studies on the tooth-decaying effects of overeating sugar (studies that were unethical and conducted on asylum patients with mental illness, it should be noted). The government then urged people to cut down on sugar intake and to keep their candy consumption to one day per week. And so Lördagsgodis was born.Ah, the actual Swedish fish that Swedes eat: Lakridsfiskar. These fish-shaped liquorice bites come in a number of iterations, from sweet liquorice to salty liquorice, and even sour lemon (they’re yellow). Combine the egg, sugar and coffee and add to the melted chocolate mixture and regularly stirring, cook for around five minutes (just until the sugar melts). Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a while. NOTES:• If Polly sweets are not available, use anything you like. Shortbread, digestives or Rich Tea biscuits work really well, as do nuts, so just replace the amounts I've used with something else. Liquorice boats” are the sweet liquorice version of the Pim Pim, and sometimes you can even find the two mixed together. They’re quite chewy and smooth, and are made by a number of confectionary brands in Sweden.
