Chocolate must be – for me, at least – one of the greatest inventions of humanity, the secret that makes sad days disappear, and helps to cherish yourself after a long day at work. Some can eat a bar or box of chocolate for weeks, and others eat the same amount in ten minutes. Hungary produced some delicious ones since the beginning of the 20th century, and some of them are still available at stores. Let us see the best ones.

Szamos

At the beginning of the 1930s, Mátyás Szamos learned how to make the perfect marzipan from a Danish master and since then the Hungarian Szamos, one of the most well-known companies in Hungary, not just succeeded in making the best marzipan, but chocolate and ice cream too. Szamos is also the number one brand making delicious cakes and other delicacies. At Kossuth Square, near the Parliament (Budapest) you can try some and even visit the Chocolate Museum.

Szerencsi

In 1923, the gates of the Szerencsi Factory opened, and chocolate manufacturing began. Besides chocolate, Szerencsi makes caramels, marzipan figures, bonbons, desserts and the szaloncukor, which is the main ingredient of Hungarian Christmas. In Budapest, Ráday Street, you can buy some of the products of Szerencsi.

Piros Mogyorós

Hungarians who were children during the 70s and 80s all remember this iconic Hungarian chocolate. This dark chocolate had whole nuts inside, making it unbelievably tasty and unique. A few years ago they started to sell it again in many stores.

Sport szelet

Chocolate and rum together, the best combination. This chocolate, in its iconic green coloured wrapping and the yellow letters of Sport, has become a prominent product of Hungary as well.
