Musketkransen - The Netherlands
We call them hundreds and thousands. The Dutch call them Musketkransen. It's fondant wreaths covered in chocolate and H&T and WE ARE IN! Take my money already!
Makówka is what you'll be handed in Poland on Christmas Eve. It's a poppy seed bread pudding sweet dessert that can be served in different ways, in a bowl, sliced like a cake or like a swiss roll below:
Next up España- Turrón
It's made of honey, sugar, and egg white, with toasted almonds or other nuts thrown together in a nougat style slab!
Bulgaria next and this sticky spiral treat is called 'Tikvenik' –
Nordics next. In Norway they'll be milling into Krumkake:
And in Denmark after dinner they'll be milling into Risalamande
It's rice pudding with fruit plonked on top. What a treat.
