What it is
A soft chewy bear with a cocoa flavour, milder and less sweet than a British gummy, with the slightly savoury note Scandinavian sweets often have.
Taste
Where it comes from
Sweden has one of the strongest pick and mix cultures in the world, where lördagsgodis, Saturday sweets, is a national habit dating from a 1950s public health campaign that encouraged children to eat sweets only once a week. Swedish sweets tend to be less sweet and more chewy than British ones, and chocolate flavoured chews are a category of their own there.
What it's made of
Sugar, glucose syrup, vegetable fat, pork gelatine and cocoa powder worked into a firm chew and moulded as bears.
