Poland known for their sweets?

Hi everybody,
I was just wondering if someone here could enlighten me. I noticed there was a link to a Polish chocolate website. Being the chocolate lover I'm, I went there out of curiosity... And there I found a lot of brands and sweets. I was shocked, I didn't know Poles had so much sweets to offer!! Does anybody know, then, which are the best? Is the website accurate? I would be curious to know that, the chocolates looked very good and the prices were VERY low (you know the kind of situation where you say: it's too good to be true). Therefore, I was wondering if some expert would be willing to help this not-Polish person! :)

Thanks in advance!

I can tell you that polish chocolate candies are awesome ! especially the ones containing alcohol and liqueurs.My husband is non-polish and he absolutely looooves them !I also recommend KROWKA candies and gingerbread cookies from Kopernik factory.Worth trying !!!

prince polo and sazamki are good as well :)

True.

how much would you all say that polish sweets have changed since the fall of communism... are they essentially the same or have there been marked differences in types and manufacturing processes...?

Polish chocolates, really that good?

hey! I posted a little question in the General Discussions forum... but no one answered :( So here I'm, trying again!... I was wondering if someone would be able to tell me if the website shown in the General Discussions forum (chocoladka) is accurate about the Polish chocolates? Which ones are the best?

Humm... Thanks!

you can just post under the same topic without starting a new one. it would 'refresh' your topic under the recently discussed without the need to flood the forum with the same topic over and over.

its not a big crime, it just keeps thing clean :)

Ptasie mleczko is good :)

I'm sorry! I really am a newbie at this! :| ... Hum... therefore, I have to admit that I don't have a clue on how to "refresh" my topic without having to start a new one? ... hehehe I'm really sorry, though!

from an english perspective, polish sweets, whilst quite nice, tend to be a little old fashioned... the sort of thing granny gave you thirty years ago...

And thank you very much, Grzegorz_! :)

I really like the chocolate covered plums. mmmmmmmmm so good.......

ohhh I see... but wouldn't that mean they taste better then? isn't it better the "old granny way" nowadays where all is transformed and mixed in an Industrial, full of sugar and chemicals way? .... or am I just being an idealist?


ohh really? I wonder if they have it in that website because I think I've tried those before! ohh I remember now, thanks! :)

jeees nothing to be sorry about - how else would you know if you weren't taught? just friendly tips tica :)

I like the grape chocolate alright. but my fav polish foods are the pastrys :)

mmmm.... you are right about that! the ones I've tried have kept me drewling and dreaming about them ever since hahahaha!

My brother-in-law used to send over loads of chocolate. I seem to remember Wedel had really good ones, then he started sending the Wawel ones. Ptaskie Mlecko is nice and sweet... several flavours to choose from.

Yay thanks a lot, I really appreciate it to have an expert's opinion on it! hihihi I wouldn't want to blindly buy chocolates. Though I'm sure most of them are good... hummm

I eat some from Kujawianka right now :)

ha...ha.. very funny you lucky one! where do you buy them?

My mom bought for me :)

I'm jealous. Are they good?

Yes.

(and I've got still a whole box of ptasie mleczko :) )

Thanks alot Toofunky! :) are those Krowka ones the ones with a cow? they sure look good... I was checking that website and man... it even explains how they make them and believe me, it sounds like alot of work: they must be delicious! :)

mum lubie krowka jupi! its from cow milk something like soft caramel. Also try "Mlecko Slodzone" its quite sweet in a small tube.

What's jupi?!? I know lubie it's like, to like but jupi?!? hihihi

I thought those were Austrian??? I know King Polo is Austrian.

Well anyway, I love Prince Polo :)

"Michalki" the best

Michałki are good too.

Tica, everything on that website is fabulous! If you like chocolate, the Solidarność Golden Pralines assortment is just wonderful, and if you prefer bars - then Wedel, or Wawel, or Goplana. Be sure to try Wawel's Kasztanki (chocolates or bar) - this is a very specific type of filling (cannot recall anything similar I've tasted anywhere), incredibly yummy!

Probably, whatever you buy, you'll be delighted. There are no bad Polish sweets :D

I had some sweets and lemon biscuits straight from poland the other week - it bought back loads of memories. Especially the fudge.
