I really don’t care about the prize (although it is a beautiful Bosch kitchen machine which would look dang pretty sitting in my kitchen), it’s the winning that counts. We all enter comps to win. Don’t we?

Sweet Guide to the Best Swedish Candy - Scandinavia Standard A Sweet Guide to the Best Swedish Candy - Scandinavia Standard

Swedes love their Polly! Chocolate covered soft marshmallow sweets with flavours of arrak, buttertoffee and vanilla.

Experience the delightful taste of Cloetta Polly Original, a beloved candy that will brighten up your day. 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! The sweet and creamy milk chocolate perfectly complements the chewy center, creating a harmonious balance of flavors. Whether you're savoring them on your own or sharing them with friends and family, Cloetta Polly Original candies are sure to bring smiles to everyone's faces. Each Polly Original candy features a soft and chewy center surrounded by a smooth milk chocolate coating. The combination of textures creates a delightful sensation with every bite. 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.

Cloetta Polly Bla – Chocolate Covered Toffee 200g

Chocolate salami is a popular dessert in Italy and Portugal and so named because well, it looks a bit like a salami (from the outside and also when sliced). 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. Seriously though, it’s the thrill of making something for a purpose that I enjoy most, like birthday cakes.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. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. This time around, it’s a competition organised by one of Sweden’s most popular chocolate sweets – Polly.
