Green Sugar Coated Marmalade Spears By Fazer

A beloved Finnish classic candy since 1929. Fazer Green Sugar Coated Marmalade Spears are soft, round and sweet. A nostalgic treat passed down through generations of candy lovers. When Karl Fazer brought this recipe from St. Petersburg in the late 19th century, he could not have known it would become one of Finland's most known sweets. First sold in Helsinki in 1929, these green spears are still made today in Fazer's own factory in Lappeenranta. Same care. Same tradition. The royal crown on the box says it all. This is marmalade, not a gummy. The set comes from pectin, listed as gelling agent E440. Sugar and glucose syrup build the body. Water keeps the center soft. Acidity regulators E330 and E337 keep the sweetness from turning flat. Flavorings carry the fruit. E141 gives the green coat. Bite through the sugar dust and the spear yields. Soft first. Then the green marmalade. Sweet, round, and familiar if you grew up with the box. New tasters usually ask for the Finnish name: Vihreitä kuulia. Same recipe. Same factory. Spear shape in this listing. Ingredients: sugar, glucose syrup, water, gelling agent (E440), acidity regulators (E330, E337), flavorings, coloring (E141). Highlights: no preservatives. A true Finnish candy tradition since 1929. Made in Fazer's own factory in Lappeenranta, Finland. There is no gelatin in the list. The pectin gel is why the texture stays a jelly, not a chew. Fazer also sells this classic as gluten free, lactose free and vegan friendly. Soft enough for a holiday plate. Firm enough to pick up with fingers. Set the spears on a coffee tray, pack them as a gift, or keep the box for Saturday. They do not need the fridge. Close the lid so the sugar coat stays dry. One spear is a small pause. A box is a Finnish afternoon. Fazer. Green spears. Lappeenranta. Since 1929.
