Oh I absolutely LOVE your chocolate taste tests!!!😍😍😍They're one of my fav videos from you🥰👌So excited for this one!🙌☺️ And OF COURSE!! I'd love a Marabou test!😁💛💛

[@MaritaKvam]

Thank you!! 😍😁❤️ We’ll definitely do a Marabou test then! 😁👍

Great review! I love learning about sweets and desserts from other countries 😋❤ Too bad we couldn't see any of the chocolates laid out the way you usually film, it's fun to follow along.

[@MaritaKvam]

Thank you! I’m glad you liked it! 😁❤️ Yeah, sorry 😅 It’s very difficult trying to fit everything in frame, especially with the lense I am using.

[@slowdive2200]

Liked before watching as per usual! ❤️ your content so so so much. I'm glad that you said Freia is similar to Marabou cuz when I was in Stockholm, I tried to find Freia but couldn't 🥲 I bought a lot of Marabou tho 😍😍

[@MaritaKvam]

Aww thank you!! 😄❤️ That is so awesome to hear! 😁 Yeah, I haven’t compared them side to side, but I think they are basically the same 😄👍

I think I've seen some of these in a shop before. The packeging definitely looks familiar, so I must keep an eye out because they look great. Daim's have always been available in Ireland and I adore them. I think you can even get some Cadbury's products with Daim pieces and they're really good too.

[@MaritaKvam]

Yeah, when you mention it I do think I’ve seen Cadbury/Daim before myself! 🤔 I’ll keep a look out for that! 😁

Milka is also Mondelez, just like Freia and marabou! And you should test Nidar cuz they are in reality the best;) like smash from Nidar. Yum!

[@MaritaKvam]

I think almost all chocolate and candy are Mondelez at this point 😂 But I think Freia and Marabou are suppose to be almost identical. 🤔 We will definitely do a Nidar test as well at some point! 😁👍 They have so much good chocolate! 😋

[@goldentears9517]

Please try Schogetten chocolate 🤤🤤

[@MaritaKvam]

Never heard of that! 😄 I’ll look for it!

The first minute

[@therumowa]

You talked so often about Freia, I really doubt you were able to rate unbiased. :D It was the same for me with getting older and beginning to enjoy raisins in chocolate, I wonder why this happens Is the t-shirt choice by accident or on purpose? ;)

[@MaritaKvam]

Haha yeah 🙈 I wonder too! Maybe it’s just because we are more open to different textures and flavors as adults 😅 Haha! That was actually not planned 😂 I saw that we both was wearing Levis when I was editing haha.

Marabou = Freia = Marabou = Freia... Why different brand names? Freia started the chocolate business a few years before 1900. Then in 1913 they started their business in Sweden they couldn't use "Freia" because it was already in use. So they used "Marabou" because Freia got a Marabou stork in their logo. Since a few years before 2000 Freia-Marabou is owned by international food companies. Now it's Mondelez. The big question is how many more years they will have different brand names for Norway and Sweden...

[@MaritaKvam]

The chocolate itself is actually not the same. 😄 The Marabou chocolate is more caramelized, so it tastes a bit sweeter. I’ve heard they decided to do that for Marabou because that type of chocolate is more popular further south in Europe. Personally I like Freia more, but it’s also what I’m raised with 😄

[@cjeelde]

I've read that the swedish version is a little bit different because of which temp they heat the combo cocoa and sugar to. But I don't know if that's the difference for all products. Freia and Marabou got so many equal products like Japp for example. I wish swedes can buy Freia's products and norwegians can buy Marabou's products without visit the other country.

[@MaritaKvam]

@cjeelde I know! Both brands should have been available in both countries!
