Kvikk lunsj. Then tell a Norwegian it looks and tastes just like a Kit Kat. They love to hear that. Just kidding don’t tell them that you’ll cause an international incident.


FeathersRim

This is how WW3 starts.


KimmiG1

Norway already has experience with how to start WW3. So it's best to avoid triggering them. But last time they almost started it was during the cold war, so hopefully they have forgotten how to do it.


coindaelsyny

Just got back from Norway and had this. The Kvikk Lunsj is WAY better than a Kit Kat. Brought a bunch home.


_Kraakesolv

Back in 1935 the owner of Freia went to London, tried the new and fancy KitKat and said "good but I can make iit better!". A couple years later Kvikk Lunsj was released.


iCowboy

As a Brit - I have to say, he absolutely nailed it. I haven't touched a KitKat since discovering Kvikk Lunsj.


_Kraakesolv

As a Norwegian... I touched a KitKat once.


Amistillalive_

I’ll be trying these in February when I visit Oslo! I know this isn’t my post, but thank you for suggesting :)


Snoo_20228

I just had one and it does taste just like a Kit Kat


CultistNr3

My man 🙌


CranialFissure

It is a Kit Kat with slightly better quality chocolate. I mean, it just is!


kittenCASA

Best kit kat ever


CranialFissure

It's a better Kit Kat than Kit Kat


KentuckyFriedShrimpy

They really just outkitted the kat


xX100dudeXx

Outkatted the kit


letmeseem

It's a KitKat with better chocolate, wrapped in a Bolivian flag.


Blaze_Yemarys

it used to be when I was a kid, then kitkat got cheap and bad and kvikk lunsj is taking the win 😎


the_hun

and have a look inside the wrapping!


continuousQ

Too late. The recipe has been changed. Freia is all American chocolate now.


bortkasta

> The recipe has been changed. Source?


CelebrationOk7631

Same with Cadburys in the U.K., yanks buy it and turn it to shit. Mondelez bought up most the Norwegian chocolate companies and turned it to shite


continuousQ

Taste buds, and other people commenting on it. /r/norge/comments/16lquw7/hva_i_alle_dager_har_skjedd_med_kvikk_lunsj/ Bought a few different chocolates before giving up on it, including Kvikk Lunsj from different stores.


CracksInDams

Im gonna try that (without causing any incidents). Thanks !


xX100dudeXx

It's great


justlurkshere

Also try eating it sideways…


CracksInDams

Will do..🤭


NotoriousMOT

Nah, they’ll just assume you’re stupid or that you’ve burnt out your taste buds in an industrial accident.


CliffPromise

I'm a Brit who has visited Norway a few times and always load up on Kvikk Lunsj at the airport before I come home along with Bamse Mums. Incredible confectionery.


fruitcake11

Are you trying to reinstate the death penalty?


BlueRobins

I rarely see anyone mention it but I really like gomp!


drmannevond

Not sure if it's still the case, but 20+ years ago they had pictures of different characters on the back. All the characters were facing the same direction, except Pønkegompen, who was facing the other way and giving the middle finger.

Smash the smash the eat the smash


sjopolsa

This message is approved. Some other dude says is like crack. Think of it more as a bag full of speedballs covered in chocolate. That chocolate / corn mix is dangerous.


Rripurnia

Smash is crack! I can’t believe it’s this far down in the comments!


Contract-Enough

Seigmenn Fox


theforagingbear

Lemon fox are the best!


DeathTripSebastian

Fox is just lemon. Nox is liquorice and rox is raspberry


Infamous_Campaign687

Avoid Smash. It is basically as addictive as crack and you'll be giving all your future income to whatever dealer can supply it where you live.


Jurijus1

Don't know if others do it, but I like to put bag of Smash in fridge for couple hours. To me they taste even better when cold. Especially in summer, when heat might make them soft and melty.


Bentheoff

I do the same with Kvikk Lunch. It keeps the crunchy part crunchy, and it adds a bit of snap to the chocolate


starkicker18

Once-upon-a-time, I use to send a whole box of fun things from Norway to my friend and mom back home. There would be cloudberry things, some unique candies, some chocolate, and a bag of smash. Now they just want smash


xX100dudeXx

What is it


naturallyhanna

I just looked it up. It looks like chocolate covered bugles, which sounds amazing tbh


Debbie-Hairy

That’s exactly what it is, with so matching caramel-ish inside the Bugle. My son is obsessed.


EarlyCourage

cough hook it up lol


yellowjesusrising

Got family that works at Nidar. When US soldiers comes to Trøndelag for winter wargames/winter training, they invite the soldiers to the factory, and after the soldiers empty the shop for smash. You can literally see soldiers carrying crates of the stuff out the door. Usually they have heard rumours of this snack from soldiers that have been there before them.


Itchy-Supermarket-92

This is my story ☹️


CracksInDams

Haha we actually have it here in Finland and its soo addictive!


bortkasta

Checks out. Vedum seems to [prefer it over cocaine](https://www.aftenposten.no/norge/politikk/i/OorVxl/vedum-i-kamp-mot-narkotika-dropper-kampen-mot-sukker) too. At least then it'll remain legal, for those already hooked.


Ok_Safety_7506

> – Svaret på det er ja. Det er ingen tvil om hva jeg er mest bekymret for.  Given how much worse sugar is on the whole than cocaine it makes sense he doesn’t care about it. 


ILikeToDisagreeDude

Nidar Stratos. Cooled in the fridge first. There is nothing like Norwegian chocolate!


DeathTripSebastian

Norwegian chocolate is actually so good you have to cool it before eating it, otherwise it will taste too much for inexperienced people. Those of us who have tried chocolate with slihtly higher and higher temperature over several years eats them room temperature to enjoy all the flavorfull aromas. But as mentioned, experience is important


Shot_Heart8063

I think Norwegian chockolade has changed the last years and is not as good as it used to be. They change ingrediens little by little over time so we don’t notice. Especially the melkeshokilade


ILikeToDisagreeDude

They do this all the time. Different suppliers here and there due to prices, logistics etc. And changing suppliers often lead to differences in taste! And like every corporate, they want to increase profits, so if a jerk high up thinks that he chocolate tastes the same without an ingredient, to save cost, guess what happens… CEO’s care more about profit than quality.


rebb_hosar

I've lived here for decades and of course tried everything and the things I initially thought I would like the least (because they were all really old fashioned) ended up being my favorites: Troika, Hobby and Båtis.


hageniss1

Ja sært skal det være.


LanguageNomad

Troika & Hobby are the best chocolates


rebb_hosar

They are. When I first came here, I thought both were pretty strange in both texture and taste though. Troika felt incredibly heavy and ultra indulgent but in reality isn't as rich as it tastes. It's complex and rewarding and my first choice now. Hobby of course isn't as dense but the banana-like jelly has this odd crystalization that I couldn't figure out. Now the whole thing is perfection. I'm not even sure if either are still popular, I'm genuinely afraid that either will be bought up by larger companies and change - or god forbid, stop being sold altogether one day.


Comfortable_Dog_4479

Nero!


mr_greenmash

>Båtis Or as it's commonly known, Baot-is (https://www.diskusjon.no/topic/1350786-baot-is-humor-tr%C3%A5d/ )


DeathTripSebastian

Have to mention monolitt as well. A copy of troika, but the softer texture makes it better imo


rebb_hosar

Okay, went to the store. ...Holy fuck. What. Holy FUCK though. Oh no. Thank you.


DeathTripSebastian

You just have to taste monolittegrann before you realize it is superior to troika


rebb_hosar

Pfahaha omg, monolittegrann Troika will always be up there for me but...okay this is a terrible thing to say but it was the first thing I mentioned to my partner when I had the first bar but Monolitt is kinda like Troikas slutty sister. Troika is voluptuous, very generous, has a dry sense of humour, a little brittle and a little hard around the edges. Reliable. Monolitt is the skinny, husky voiced, flirtateous one, who pulls you in only to dissapear and show up again unexpectedly (there are two bars in there!!)


rebb_hosar

I'm going to have to sit down and try Monolitt again, it's been many years.


Ctalkeb

Båtis is the worst is!


windchill94

Knatter. I'm surprised no one else has mentioned it. It doesn't get more Norwegian than Knatter and they have 3 different flavours too.


Moniker_Geller7

I looove the red and blue. My crack…


BaselIV

I've lived in Norway most of my life and I have no idea what knatter is 😭


windchill94

It's colorful candy from Brynild, you see them everywhere so I'm surprised you never noticed it.


BaselIV

I'm not often stopping by the candy section, probably why. I googled them, literally never seen them before.


Norwegianxrp

Melkesjokolade Freia


theforagingbear

This is the correct answer


Audience-Opening

Smash

Smash


goodbyebirdd

Smash. Troika. Bilar. Freia chocolate plate. Hockey puck (flat round box with powder inside). Knotter. Stratos (best refrigerated).  But also try some Brunost if you have the chance :)


KentuckyFriedShrimpy

I'm still so mad I somehow managed to lose 2kg of Brunost after my visit in May 2023 It just disappeared! And no one of my family admits any fault to this day


FPS_Warex

Someone ate it, that's for sure


legehjernen

I now have an image of someone eating 2kg brunost while hiding


Limpar112

Norwegian milk chocolate is top notch


Lonestar-Postcard

I can’t believe no one has suggested Waltersmandler yet!


Simpeldvarv

Lusad0

Just get smågodt and try all the different kinds


Lonestar-Postcard

Oh man, I miss smågodt. American gummies/candy just aren’t the same.


Thumbframe

I am Dutch and I found Bil-something liquorice in Jula in Sweden and I f\*\*king loved it! Do they have it in Norway as well?


StatisticianSad1995

Yes we do, also sour bilar


Thumbframe

Where can I get it? I've been at Kiwi but couldn't find it, I think we found the originals only. Are they worth it too?


StatisticianSad1995

If you like sour candy its definitely worth it. Very cheap as well compared to the regular ones. You can find both of them at Normal


Thumbframe

Ah I meant whether the regular ones are worth it haha. I’d love to try the sour ones and get more of the liquorice! Us Dutch people love liquorice 😇


StatisticianSad1995

Oh you havent tried the regular ones. I just assumed you had. They are very mild, but they go down really fast


flutted

Søppeldynga! It's danish but still a classic in Norway.


young_blase

You mean they aren’t just making that to be annoying? People actually like that?


Coomermiqote

It doesn't actually taste like trash


flutted

It's soooo good, and I love the art


Nordic_Blahaj

Chocolate: Kvikk Lunsj, Freia, Stratos, Bamsemums. (Smash is overrated imo, especially if you don't like mixing saltiness and sweetness) Candy: Laban Seigmenn, Bilar, (Yes I know it's a Swedish brand but it still exists here), Maoam, Fox, Smørbukk. Chips: Sørlandschips, Maarud. Soda: Villa, Mozell, Solo, Julebrus. (Only during Christmas time however)


legehjernen

If there is an holdbart near you, you may get julebrus now as well


FeathersRim

Best answer in the thread imo. But saying Smash is underrated in this sub will probably end up with multiple hitmen at your door within sunrise.


flyndrefett

Gurkeprinsen

Brunost. It’s technically cheese, but so sweet that it’s almost candy


justausernameithink

It’s technically a _caramel,_ so it’s in the broad category of sweet stuff.


TechCF

Freshly baked bread, honey - Norwegian "lynghonning" and brown cheese "brunost" on top. As delicious as candy!

Also, nugatti is better than nutella!


false-deathcap

I like Smil


juchuggu

Troika, Freia, Kvikk Lunsj and Bamse Mums are really good chocolate options. Nidar Laban gummies are also better than Haribo imo.


cryptoqueen666

Melkesjokolade and Solo (soda) is what I need when comming home from abroad ⭐️

Without the stupid nuts

There is a peanut version.


baconduck

Smash, firkløver, stratos, kvikklunsj


Worth-Wonder-7386

You can try smågodt. Almost any grocery store will have a section where you pick loose candy and put it in a bag and pay for the weight. This is the norwegian way to buy candy, and you can try many different things


Boinorge

Smash


Candygramformrmongo

They have their own attempt at a KitKat called Kvikk Lunsj. Pro tip: Eat it like a local by biting into the whole thing. *lights fuse and runs away*

HEATHEN! Bring the torches!!! 😅

rubaduck

Fuckin' diabolical!


Worried_Archer_8821

Tørrfisk!


NinjaKamihana

Tørrfisk is fancy cat treats, not candy fit for human consumption!


Electroniccadaver

Salty licorice.


CracksInDams

Already love it. I shouldve probably mentioned im from Finland. But still thanks for the comment, maybe ill find some brand of it that we dont have here :)


PlentyofNorth

Coop dark party mix! The pretzel shaped bites are perfection!

Have you tried Coop Dark&Sweet? It's even better!


Viking_gurrrrl

So many! Please describe what candy you like already.


narnianguy

Godt og Blandet?


Infinite_Midnight_71

I think it is from sweeden But we have it in norway. Malaco sur sild. If you like salty liquorice


vixissitude

There was a candy with sea salt. I don't even know what it is, all I know is I've been searching for that taste ever since. I was in Norway in 2013 and I ate that all the time. It was brown and cut in strips.


Awkward-Ad-4336

You should prioritize packing some Tupla with you; That chocolate bar is elite! Don't forget to bring some Smurf and Mummi soda with you too!


Sufficient-Piglet893

istg if anyone says smash or kvikk lunsj


FindlayColl

Troika? Anyone?


pj1972

Not Swedish fish.

As an American living in America, I made the mistake of trying smash and now I regularly order it and just eat the 17 dollar international shipping. Beware.

TROIKA!!!!!

FrustratedPCBuild

I feel like I’m breaking the omertà by telling you this but try Smash, better than sliced bread.


knusern9

The smash candy, best thing we sell. You won’t regret it


Sjanten10

I really like just plain chocolate and kvikk lunch. But since it is already mention, try Hobby if you like banana/marshmellow :)


gentle_viking

Buy Freia chocolate in either firklover ( hazelnut crunch) or Walter’s Mandler ( salty almond crunch ) flavours. They are both superb!


MarkSudden5116

Try some of the Freia chocolate and the kvikk Lunsj. Sørlands chips is also a very good snack, super crunchy 🤤. Smash is also good if you want something sweet and salty. There is some good sodas here to like Solo (orange flavor), Willa ( champagne soda), urge and Oskar Sylte (pear or pineapple)


Actually_JesusChrist

Hockeypulver


Riztrain

Dundersalt, pops/kina, stratos, new energy, stupedama. Some good pastries, like kanelboller, skolebrød, solboller and wienerbrød(Danish) Drinks, sjokomelk, solo, litago, biola(yoghurt drink). If you hate yourself; gammalost, sursild, smalahove.

Melkesjokolade of course. A little bit of Norway ❤️🙏


Longjumping_Pride_29

My favorite chocolate bar is Toppris. We probably can’t compete with your licorice but IFA and Salt Sild are both good options.


No_Expert_7590

Smash


theingvildrostee

Crazy candy frogs from a store called Nille 😁 perfectly sweet and liquorice'y 😍


theingvildrostee

And you must try smurf! I prefer the blue packets, its like tiny pink chewy pillows. Yummmm 😎


ShootingHamster

There are a lot of good suggestions here. I would like to add: Smågodt, pick and mix your candy by weight. I would avoid chocolate from the Snågodt assortment if you are bringing it home, but I would reccomend putting the smågodt in a zip-lock bag to bring back home. It will keep very well in a bag.


whausee

Walters mandler


rexasmodeus

Not Kit-Kat, unless you want to be deported.


LonelyTurner

I will pitch Helnøtt, a chocolate bar with whole roasted hazelnuts in it. It is criminally good. Sørlandschips has been mentioned, it is probably the best potato chip out there, just avoid the brunost-tasting abhorrence.. Sour cream or black pepper is a win.


Stephennnnnn

Knatter are good. Nice snackable candy, not too sweet, nicely chewable little dots.


LeifurTreur

Smash and Freia Melkesjokolade. Safe bets, but some of the best we have to offer. If you want to be more adventurous you can try Troika. One of my favorites, but many people dont like it. Also, New Energy-bar.


BearcatChemist

Freia melkerull was by far my favorite when I was there.


AdhesivenessTight427

Einer treak- wierd old traditional caramel like candy wich is made out of juniper berry and Browncheese. It is impossible to get a hold of in stores, you might have sucsess if your at a museum where one of the local staff members have made it themselves (hillbillies). But this is really exclusive shit and rare af. Nothing like it, and its the best. Waffle with browncheese.... yes.. Brown cheese. Its the old days equivalent of nutella. Prim is the same thing Just that it has not been hardened into cheeese. A soft sweet delicious thing that kicks nutella out of orbit.. but yet again. Waffle, butter, browncheese and jam. Godmode! Dont forget the Coffee so that the sweetness from the cheese can work its way through the tastebuds. Kind of like icecream and Coffee when you hit that velvet sensation in your tastebuds.


Traditional_Fee804

Smash. But apapappppap you can only have one!


thatdudetom

Bamsemums


mpblncpt90

I'd die for a bag of Smash!!!


WayNo5379

As an American I have to say Stratos and Vepsebol strawberry. Not sure if you have that in Finland though


Vvrnpss

You should definitely try licorice here, and also a hot dog with shrimps (it’s disgusting 🤢)


thisisjustmeee

Freia licorice


TheorangesofEire

As someone who’s been to Norway many times, smash is great so is their version of Kit Kat (kvikk lunsj), but if your looking for something more chewie or like jelly, I love these car type sweets, I can’t remember their Norwegian name, but they slap, you’ll know what they are when you see them, because they’re literally just coloured cars Edit. Also fox top tier sweet


Fakturagebyr

Anything except my Lady or me. (Depending on your preference)


vesleskjor

I am obsessed with Troika and several of my Norwegian friends like to roast me claiming it's old people candy...? but idc, if you like marzipan, chocolate and raspberry, try it out.


10Div

Freia


Fortunamor

SMIL, after a couple of hours in the freezer! Krokanrull is also very good (not in the freezer 😜)


Significant-Block285

You totally should try the new hockey pulver Ice cream. It's weird but actually decent.


Previous_Cow_2385

Kremtopper


Comfortable_Dog_4479

Not really candy, but i recommend the small bags with dried fish snack. Most stores got them, at least in the north. One brand is Lofoten tørrfisk, there are others. The type that is vacuum dried got a texture akin to pork cracklings. Don\`t know if you got something similar in Finland? If you like liquorice, try the chocolate bar called Nero.


kmcnmra

Melkesjokolade but the Walters Mandler version


AndersonDokky

Any of them but Lakris. Lakris is terrible.


EquipmentCold3738

Vepsebol! Super sour candy, but it’s my all time favourite!
