Would you try the most unusual szaloncukor flavours?

Szaloncukor, a candy that almost everyone loves to eat at Christmas, is a traditional sweet treat. Many people enjoy classic flavours, like jelly, coconut, chocolate or chestnut. Some of the flavours, however, are more on the “experimental” side. Below, we listed the most unusual flavours that could be found in Hungarian stores over the past few years.

Pineapple

This tasty fruit is more or less associated with a beach, a Hawaiian shirt, a nice topping on top of a pizza or chocolate covering. But in the context of szaloncukor flavours, it is a little bit unusual. Might be worth a try, though.

Elderberry

This flavour is also widely associated with summertime. It can be used as an ingredient to make a delicious, sweet but refreshing beverage. Using it as an ingredient in a typical Christmas sweet is an interesting idea. What do you think? Would you drink or eat something elderberry flavoured?

Basil and lemon

This is probably one of the most unusual flavours. Without the context of candy or sweets, one might think I am giving tips for seasoning oven-baked chicken, but definitely something completely different from sweets. If I am honest, though, giving it a try could be an interesting “experiment”.

Plum pálinka, chocolate cream, dark chocolate

Sounds good until one reads the words after pálinka. The mention of the traditional Hungarian alcohol, a true Hungaricum, sounds promising – kind of like cherry liquor in chocolate, with a Hungarian twist. Honestly, I have never tried it, so I do not really know how this flavour is. Anyways, it is a super creative idea.

Mulled wine

This one is arguably one of the most interesting flavours. What do you think? Would you watch the wonderful lights on your Christmas tree, sipping your cup of mulled wine peacefully? Or would you rather enjoy your share of mulled wine szaloncukor?

Honey egg white frappe

This is such a crazy combo most people would either dislike it or be at a loss for words. It is unusual, indeed.

Floating island

This one is actually good. It is like floating island flavoured cream in chocolate. The dessert called floating island tastes a little bit like vanilla, but there is a slight difference. This one is really worth trying if you can buy it.

Erős Pista

This one is genius! There are probably very few people who would try it, but the idea is genius: a strong chilli paprika cream turned into szaloncukor. Hungaricum at its finest! And by the way, no, I was not sarcastic. I do think it is an interesting new flavour. On the flip side, if people pulled a prank on someone with this very special product, that would not be fun.

    Maybe somebody should make szaloncukor with the extremely aromatic south Asian fruit durian, also called king of fruits or simply stink fruit.

    Some of those would have to come with a warning! Anything with nuts in it or made in a factory or bakery where nuts are used in any of the dishes, mixers etc can kill a person FAST. And anything with alcohol in it can cause a dry alcoholic to start drinking again, fall off the wagon. Risk their job, their family, their life.
