Mariannelunds Karamellkokeri - A sweet trip to Småland

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?

After the sugar shock: relaxing at Villa Victoria

So much sweet stuff has to be digested first. And what could be better than ending the day in a cosy Swedish holiday home? Villa Victoria, our classic red Swedish cottage, is located right in Mariannelund - perfect for anyone who wants to experience the charm of Småland up close.
