Mariannelunds Karamellkokeri - A sweet trip into Sweden's nostalgia
Sweden tastes of cinnamon, fresh coffee and - if you've ever been to Mariannelund - handmade caramels that melt in your mouth. Mariannelunds Karamellkokeri has been producing sweets according to old recipes since 1929. Once you've popped in, you're guaranteed to come out with a full bag. But let's start from the beginning.
Welcome to the sweetest corner of Småland
Mariannelund is a tranquil village in the centre of Småland - known for the stories of Michel from Lönneberga, idyllic landscapes and, of course, the finest caramel art.
Mariannelunds Karamellkokeri is no ordinary sweet shop. It is a small manufactory where real craftsmanship is practised. Here, sweets, lollipops and, above all, caramels are made in over 40 flavours - all according to secret family recipes.
When you step through the door, you are greeted by a sweet aroma that immediately brings back childhood memories. And the best thing? You can watch the professionals at work. Through a large shop window in the production hall, you can watch how sugar is boiled, stirred, pulled and cut into small, irresistible pieces.
What you absolutely must try here
- The classic cream caramels - soft as butter and with just the right mix of sweet and savoury.
- Polkagris - the typical Swedish red and white peppermint-flavoured candy canes.
- Liquorice caramels - for those who like it a little stronger.
- Swedish lollipops in XXL format - for the perfect flash of nostalgia.
Tip: If you can't decide, just take a mixed bag - or two. Because honestly, when are you going to come here again?
