Pätkis is a mint truffle iced with milk chocolate. It has existed since 1978 and is the most sold chocolate bar in Finland. This is probably because of the small size. (only 18 grams) There's also a larger Pätkis, (36 grams) but other than the size it's identical to the original one.
I find it odd to reduce scores based on not adding to it when there are clearly varieties that do. If you want to put chocolate head to head it should be bare bones chocolate.
Don't feel like those belong together, although I've only ever tried one chili chocolate (It's called Instant Regret). Crisps work though, there's a biscuit crumbs one by Fazer and it's lovely. I'm not a fan of just straight up chocolate squares, I like the gimmicks :D
Fazer's Blue is not plain! It is piece of heaven. I visited Germany few years ago and had this chocolate with me, and a finnish exchance student came to hug me and said thank you for bringing a piece of home to me.
By the way, even though the recipe is the same, these chocolate bars as well as the ones in candy wrapper are pressed harder into the mold, creating a harder, more glossy and snappy surface that melts slower. The Chocolate slab version has softer matte surface and is thinner, so it's easier to chew and melts quicker into your mouth and feels more chocolatey faster.
"This episode we look at Finland's classic chocolate bar "Fazer Blue". Although, it is kind of convenient that Finland enters the race right after Sweden took the throne. These Scandinavian countries, always competing with one another..." Grrr. Finland is a Nordic country, not Scandinavian!
Officially Denmark, Norway, Sweden make Scandinavia, add Finland and Iceland and you get the Nordic countries. But yes, "Scandinavia" is often used as a synonym for the whole Nordic area. Not that big deal, except for us Nordics ;)
It's not a bad mistake, if a mistake at all, and Finns commonly make it too. Scandinavia you see, is something that isn't really well defined - Finland is often included, but since that is uncertain, it's better to use the Nordic countries when including Finland and Iceland. Scandinavia can mean the geographical area of Sweden, Norway and northern Finland (Scandinavian peninsula), or the cultural area of Northern Germanic speaking languages: Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. But usually even Iceland isn't included, only Denmark, Sweden and Norway: it's the historical concept of Scandinavia.
Fazer has a lot of different flavored chocolates. Why do you compare their unflavored one to the flavored ones of the other manufacturers? It doesn’t make any sense.
A couple of my foreign friends say Tupla-bar is their favorite Finnish chocolate, soft nougat-type, with almonds. Tupla = douple, there are two bars in the package.
Seconded. Tupla is quite popular, it really could and should be your next choise. And if you want to go the Finnish way, you would of course try salmiakkisuklaa. With salmiakki it is however, that while a small part of the world (Northern Europe) generally love it, large part of the world thinks its a horrible poison. It's "love it" or "help, I'm dying here". www.fazer.fi/tuotteet-ja-asiakaspalvelu/1591/fazer-salmiakkisuklaa-100-g/
You really just took points away because its plain chocolate when you are fucking comparing chocolate bars and there is literally over 15 different flavor combinations by Fazer. And I was triggered by fact that Sweden has fucking nougat bar in there, not chocolate.
Oddly all countries have wierd alternative "chocolade" but only finland with a plain one? Havent watched all the others yet thou but seems a bit fishy to rank them this way imo. Maybe just because availability?
The "correct" finnish way to pronounce Fazer is like this: Fa [fa as in fa-rm] zer [tcher as in Tcher-nobyl] What an example... 😌 But it's common for foreigners to pronounce it like you did. 😄
If you want a real chocolate bar, don’t expect another ingredient. Karl Fazer makes a lot of different kind of chocolate bars with all kinds of fillings. Try their Geisha, Marianne or something. Lol.
Only because they have done it before. It opens really easy when you know how. Not if you don't know. Give your 3 year old first one and they fight with it too.
You surely could had asked for any of their flavored chocolates (Fazer has so many varieties of them) but comparing plain chocolate to flavored, like here, is just plain stupid. Fazer Blue is probably the best milk chocolate ever made. Karl’s parents came from Swizerland and this chocolate has been made according to their old family recipe. Fazer is still a family operated company and every chocolate lover loves it everywhere. Go eat your Hershey’s kisses boys. :’D
So, Denmark, Sweden, and now Finland? That leaves Iceland and Norway. I've never had Icelandic chocolate (I assume they have chocolate bars of their own), but I do have had Norwegian chocolate. It was a Stratos. It's a porous milk chocolate bar. Kinda feels like eating solidified foam. It's better than it sounds, though! I think the most well-known Norwegian chocolate bar is Kvik Lunjs. Never seen them over here, so I can't say what their taste and texture is like. Nice scores on the Dubbel Nougat, though. It's one of my favorurites. Karl Fazer's "Sininen" (Finnish for "blue") is also good, and yes, it's applicable to consider it to be a classy chocolate. In some restaurants, a serving of dessert or coffee is complimented with a single confectionary variant of Sininen (Geisha or Fazerina in some cases). As for what I'd recommend you try, I see Geisha, Kismet, and Pätkis have been mentioned already. I assume those might already be on your acquisitions list. So I recommend Tupla. It's a chewy chocolate bar infused with grains of almonds. Another one that might be of interest is Susu, a chocolate bar with rice krispies. However, what I would definitely not recommend is Salmiakki. While I personally enjoy Salmiakki, I can safely predict that you both would give it an unanimous 1 out of 10. The Salmiakki chocolate bar contains the eponymous salmiakki, which is like a more potent and saltier black licorice. I you've ever had a black licorice Twizzler, imagine the taste of it, but amped up to eleven.
Hello! We covered Iceland in episode #20 by trying Eitt Sett. And we have Norwegian Stratos ready for season #2. Yeah, Dubbel Nougat blew our minds but according to Finns, Geisha may be able to take it down:). Finland definitively has a wide variety of chocolates and we'll probably cover 4-5 more of those. Hmmm this Salmiakki bar. We haven't had a 1/10 one the show yet so I'm kind of curious about it. It sounds so bad that we must try it:)
A chocolate from Finland and its not even Geisha (which is probably the most popular chocolate in Finland)? Kismet is another favourite of mine. Hopefully you get a chance to taste those as well.
Anyone looking at this comment section and searching the chocolate will relize that fazer dominates the finnish chovolate industry and you would be right and then i want to say it's not only chocolate it dominates the food industry of finland like not even a joke it's mainly known for candy and chocolate because it's so good like we have so many products like domino and it is basicly a finnish oreo but it tastes difrent slightly less sweet in my opinion and yeah fazer is the true dominant company in the finnish food market
I don't know, but when you look for the best chocolate bar, why go milk chocolate? Dark chocolate should obviously be the choise. Milk chocolate tastes like nothing. This is the plain one, but you can get it with several flavours, really a good one: www.fazer.fi/tuotteet-ja-asiakaspalvelu/1571/fazer-pure-dark-70-cocoa-tumma-suklaa-95-g/ You can get Geisha as dark chocolate too: www.fazer.fi/tuotteet-ja-asiakaspalvelu/1643/geisha-tummaa-suklaata-hasselpahkinanougattaytteella-37-g/ Not so dark, but the darker brother what you tasted, simple chcolate: www.fazer.fi/tuotteet-ja-asiakaspalvelu/1762/karl-fazer-tumma-suklaa-39-g/
The Reclinery I don't know how candy bars are made in the US but in Finland u r not supposed to separate those three edges, you just rip the paper, that's why it has that shattered border. Then u actually still have the paper that u grab onto. U opened it like a big chocolate bar. (idk if theres an english word for it)
When you review chocolate, please don’t just chew and swallow it. You should wait and let it melt in your mouth first, so that you actually could taste it. I should not be teaching you how to eat because it’s you who are making the reviews?
Do not forget to subscribe! Season 2 is coming soon and Finland's Geisha chocolate bar will be on first!
The Reclinery Watch Fazer commercials.
That sounds like work and we prefer reclining to doing work. So which commercial do you suggest and why?
The Reclinery Fazer geisha "share". It's done well and ot has good music.
So cheesy:)
actually Karl Fazer was from switcherland and when he moved to finland he started this fazer brand.
*TRIGGERED* FAZER BLUE IS THE BEST CHOCOLATE IN THE WORLD
At least when price compared to the chocolate , it might be the best in the world.
I'd recommend trying two Fazer classics:
1. Geisha - milk chocolate and hazelnut
2. Pätkis - milk chocolate and mint
We got Geisha, tell me more about this Pätkis.
Pätkis is a mint truffle iced with milk chocolate. It has existed since 1978 and is the most sold chocolate bar in Finland. This is probably because of the small size. (only 18 grams) There's also a larger Pätkis, (36 grams) but other than the size it's identical to the original one.
Pätkis is not good, try Fazerina instead
@@NjoyMoney gay
Next u should try Elisa saunalahti huoleton 4G
lol
I find it odd to reduce scores based on not adding to it when there are clearly varieties that do. If you want to put chocolate head to head it should be bare bones chocolate.
There's a bunch of flavors, I like the White/blue and the strawberry filled ones ^^
What about chilly and crisps one?
My favourite is the Salty Toffee Crunch! It's sweet, salty and crispy, everything you need :)
Don't feel like those belong together, although I've only ever tried one chili chocolate (It's called Instant Regret). Crisps work though, there's a biscuit crumbs one by Fazer and it's lovely. I'm not a fan of just straight up chocolate squares, I like the gimmicks :D
Se Lontoo-teemanen pienempi levy? Muistan et varasin semmosen joskus intissä leirille, se autto :)
Se on eri se Lontoo-teemainen, vaikka sekin on joku Salty Toffee tyylinen. Salty Toffee Crunch on normaalin sinisen levyn muodossa.
Fazer's Blue is not plain! It is piece of heaven. I visited Germany few years ago and had this chocolate with me, and a finnish exchance student came to hug me and said thank you for bringing a piece of home to me.
Karl Fazer Blue Raspberry Yoghurt in Milk Chocolate is my favorite, they have those in amazon also.
Z: Yep, it is in there. We are still debating which ones to get, although knowing us we'll just get all of them.
Two things that Finns do extremely well: Chocolate and Heavy Metal. Love both.
By the way, even though the recipe is the same, these chocolate bars as well as the ones in candy wrapper are pressed harder into the mold, creating a harder, more glossy and snappy surface that melts slower. The Chocolate slab version has softer matte surface and is thinner, so it's easier to chew and melts quicker into your mouth and feels more chocolatey faster.
"This episode we look at Finland's classic chocolate bar "Fazer Blue". Although, it is kind of convenient that Finland enters the race right after Sweden took the throne. These Scandinavian countries, always competing with one another..."
Grrr. Finland is a Nordic country, not Scandinavian!
Hmmm, I always assumed Finland fell under Scandinavia. We shall correct it in the future:)
Officially Denmark, Norway, Sweden make Scandinavia, add Finland and Iceland and you get the Nordic countries. But yes, "Scandinavia" is often used as a synonym for the whole Nordic area. Not that big deal, except for us Nordics ;)
It's not a bad mistake, if a mistake at all, and Finns commonly make it too. Scandinavia you see, is something that isn't really well defined - Finland is often included, but since that is uncertain, it's better to use the Nordic countries when including Finland and Iceland.
Scandinavia can mean the geographical area of Sweden, Norway and northern Finland (Scandinavian peninsula), or the cultural area of Northern Germanic speaking languages: Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. But usually even Iceland isn't included, only Denmark, Sweden and Norway: it's the historical concept of Scandinavia.
The Reclinery Oh really? I thought everyone knew that?
Fazer has a lot of different flavored chocolates. Why do you compare their unflavored one to the flavored ones of the other manufacturers? It doesn’t make any sense.
A couple of my foreign friends say Tupla-bar is their favorite Finnish chocolate, soft nougat-type, with almonds. Tupla = douple, there are two bars in the package.
I'm starting to think we'll need a full season of just Finnish chocolates:)
Seconded. Tupla is quite popular, it really could and should be your next choise.
And if you want to go the Finnish way, you would of course try salmiakkisuklaa. With salmiakki it is however, that while a small part of the world (Northern Europe) generally love it, large part of the world thinks its a horrible poison. It's "love it" or "help, I'm dying here". www.fazer.fi/tuotteet-ja-asiakaspalvelu/1591/fazer-salmiakkisuklaa-100-g/
Tupla is my favorite along with fazer milk chocolate, there's tons of options so something for everyone.
Fazer is best milk chocolate bar ever
No, Freia is better. It is still better today, and it was even more better in the past before it was bought by Kraft/Mondelez.
You really just took points away because its plain chocolate when you are fucking comparing chocolate bars and there is literally over 15 different flavor combinations by Fazer. And I was triggered by fact that Sweden has fucking nougat bar in there, not chocolate.
salmiakki is one of my favourites.
Oddly all countries have wierd alternative "chocolade" but only finland with a plain one? Havent watched all the others yet thou but seems a bit fishy to rank them this way imo. Maybe just because availability?
So funny to hear them prounounce the name like "phaser" :D It's actually pronounced "fatser"
fucking 7.5 score, just wasted 10 minutes to see a fucking 7.5 score
WTF whit the opening? its the so easy to open those chocolate bars
Hey, trying beating Peter's record then we'll talk.
The Reclinery Okay i think i can open a chocolate bar(and i am from finland your chocolate is the best)
The "correct" finnish way to pronounce Fazer is like this:
Fa [fa as in fa-rm]
zer [tcher as in Tcher-nobyl]
What an example... 😌
But it's common for foreigners to pronounce it like you did. 😄
This reply instantly reminded me of ruclips.net/video/Ex59xusPlRA/видео.html
If you want a real chocolate bar, don’t expect another ingredient. Karl Fazer makes a lot of different kind of chocolate bars with all kinds of fillings. Try their Geisha, Marianne or something. Lol.
Its funny to see 2 mans fighting to open chocolate bar papers IN FINLAND THATS FUCKING EASY THING FOR 3 YR OLD
Only because they have done it before. It opens really easy when you know how. Not if you don't know. Give your 3 year old first one and they fight with it too.
Yes! Finland is actually most known for Karl Fazer, the sauna AND metal. I'm finnish but no one literally cares but oh well...
And we have at least 10 different versions of that chocolate
Why are you chewing it? Chocolate is meant to melt in the mouth.
You want this to be a 15 minute episode:)?
Well its almost 15mins long anyway..
Karl Faser are amazing.
CHOCOLATE IS CHOCOLATE.

A chocolate from Finland and its not even Geisha (which is probably the most popular chocolate in Finland)? Kismet is another favourite of mine. Hopefully you get a chance to taste those as well.
I think we'll start with Geisha, it seems like the most interesting one.
Geisha aint the most popular!! Fazer blue is!
there is literally like over 20 different flavors to this! you should try them all
We definitively plan to try many of them:)
I like that you even got a Finnish band t-shirt
Torilla tavataan!
Anton vittu haista paska.

A matter of taste? Eh.

Finland isn't scandinavian. It's nordic.
You opened it so wrong!! It's the easiest thing to open
I dare you to take one and try and beat Peter's time:)
The Reclinery I don't know how candy bars are made in the US but in Finland u r not supposed to separate those three edges, you just rip the paper, that's why it has that shattered border. Then u actually still have the paper that u grab onto. U opened it like a big chocolate bar. (idk if theres an english word for it)
I see. I'll try that when we do Geisha bar.
Fazer milk chocolate is the best! 2nd is swedish one

That was all the way back in April. I've been outside a few times since. :)
-Peter
Theres 5 million people in finland
Watch Fazer commercials.
You should eat it slow. Let it melt in your mouth. Not for fast eaters.
Chocolate bar reviews? Come on Peter, do what you know best - how about Metal album reviews? :)
nii varmaa
-95 never forget
Geisha and I'll sub ;)
Or you don't get Geisha unless you sub and that way the whole world doesn't get Geisha. You don't want that on your conscience do you;)?
I sub I sub!!
World crisis averted! Good work!
You americans just eat too sweet stuff...
Fazer - pronounced: "futt-serr"
What is the best chocolate in the USA you had? Yank chocolate and candy is is over sugared shit! Fazer means quality!
I Love pätkis and geisha, you should try them, their amazing! And salmiakki and lakritsi too 😂
Half video speaking shit. Nice job guys!
Thanks! And yeah, that's generally our m.o. :)
The Reclinery Yeh do ur own stuff and grow big channel. U guys have good future.
Thanks brohemian, we are just having fun for now:)
there are like 100 other flavourz on fazer and u picked the worse
We decided to test drive the base model first:)
Fazer reminds me of cheap german christmas chocolate. Not my favourite. Too bad you guys didn`t check out the norwegian Freia. Very very nice.
I feel so ashamed to see my fellow Finnish people writing here like they've never even learned proper English.
