Swedish Chocolate Coffee Squares
A classic treat! These Swedish Chocolate Coffee Squares are a combination of moist chocolate cake, chocolate-coffee icing and dried coconut toppings – in every bite! We have various names for this treat in Sweden, but the most common is ‘Kärleksmums’; which literally translates to ‘Love Yums’. (I know, quite cheeky 🙂 ) Other name translations are…

Swedish Chocolate Cigars (Chokladcigarrer)

Swedish Lent Buns (Semlor)
A hint of cardamom, almond paste filling and whipped cream on top; these delectable treats should be made available all-year round! Swedish Lent Buns (Semlor) are great with coffee or tea — for snack, breakfast or dessert! Trust me, one piece (‘semla‘) will not be enough. 😀 How are you going to eat that?! Is…
