Kandit Rum Plocice, Croatian Chocolate Bar 45g (1.6oz)

Kandit Rum Ploče is a 45g Croatian milk chocolate bar with a rum cream filling — the iconic Croatian candy bar produced by Kandit, the Osijek-based confectionery company that has been making Croatian sweets since 1921 and that the Croatian diaspora knows as one of the most evocative tastes of home. Kandit is one of Croatia's oldest and most beloved confectionery companies, producing from Osijek the chocolate bars, bonbons, and wafers that have stocked Croatian stores for generations — the Rum Ploče in particular is the bar that every Croatian grew up knowing, the small rum-flavoured chocolate that comes in a red wrapper and that no Croatian specialty store can be without. Rum-flavoured chocolate is a Central European confectionery tradition with deep roots: the rum praline, the rum ball, the rum truffle — the spirit flavour that found its way into chocolate through the Habsburg confectionery tradition and that persists in Croatian, Austrian, and German sweets to this day. Eat as a small post-coffee sweet in the Croatian tradition, give as an inexpensive gift to Croatian friends, include in a Balkan sweets assortment, or buy as the accessible everyday Croatian chocolate that punches above its size.
