Not a single holiday is complete without sweets, and for some, not a single day. At least in most Russian families, sweets, along with cookies, are a daily delicacy that must be present in the grocery basket. However, many consumers often buy only candy from their usual brands. As often happens, the habit turns out to be the enemy of everything new - new tastes, new forms, new qualities.
In this article, we will tell you which sweets are considered the best in the world, in which country the tastiest of them are made, and in which the largest ones were made, to inspire you to explore the confectionery world. Perhaps after reading you will have a desire to try something new, and we will help you decide what you like best.
Let's start, perhaps, not with the most delicious, but with the largest. We are all waiting for a gift for birthday, New Year and any other holiday. And, of course, the more gifts - the better the mood. But what if you were given one gift, but simply gigantic? We think you would not mind. Of course, the Hershey company, while creating the record largest candy, did not plan to put it up for sale as a gift for millionaires. However, be that as it may, the huge candy of the brand Hershey's Kisses (chocolate in the shape of a drop) was presented in the US state of Pennsylvania and entered the Guinness Book of Records for the largest weight - almost 14 kilograms - and the longest length - 5 meters in a wrapper.
Meanwhile, for World Lollipop Day, celebrated on July 20, See's Candies has unveiled a giant chocolate lollipop, which has also been recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. Its weight was just over three kilograms, and its length was almost one and a half meters.
They say that there are no comrades for taste and color. Therefore, it will be rather difficult to judge what the UK Chocolate Academy jury was guided by, if only not by their own taste. However, they awarded the prize for the most delicious chocolate to the Italian company from the city of Pisa TM Amedei. Having received this award once, the company decided not to give up its positions and in the future received from year to year.
Of course, TM Amedei will never give out its secret of making these chocolate truffles, it is only known that the ingredients for them are brought from different parts of the world, they contain edible gold and the most expensive cocoa in the world, and they are produced by hand. Also you can try cowboy candy.
If you are wondering what will be discussed now, then you just need to carefully read the subtitle. The country, which is famous for its fashion houses, exquisite perfumes and the oldest museums, is also known all over the world for its cuisine and pastry. For example, it was in France that the first factory was opened, which began to produce chocolate desserts, similar in shape to sweets. Perhaps it is thanks to its contribution to the development of confectionery that this country is credited with making the most delicious sweets in the world.
