Short description:

Parlour candy is an indispensable part of Christmas in Hungary. The tree-decorating sweet has been an important Christmas product of the Hungarian confectionery industry since its appearance in the 19th century. Originally, parlour candy came to Hungary from abroad, but they are so different from their previous form that they can rightly be considered Hungarian sweets. If you see parlour candy anywhere in the world, it is probably made in Hungary, and if not, it is only thanks to the Hungarians who live there. All in all, parlour candy is a confectionery product with international roots, but which was developed in Hungary many decades ago, and which is unique to Hungary in its characteristics and the particular festive season. The quality of parlour candy is guaranteed not only by the manufacturers, but also by the Codex Alimentarius Hungaricus, which has several provisions on this product range.
