Another of Stockholm's more storied spaces it was after a visit to Fotografiska that Pärlans Konfekty fit into a lengthy day of eating, arrival shortly after opening greeted by an expected "Hej" as a young female clerk went about her business stocking shelves while two workers in back chopped Butter and stirred pots on stoves.
Known worldwide for housemade Caramels produced by traditional methods, a wide variety of classic and novel flavors each made and wrapped by hand, it is amidst the small shop that one will find not only Candies but Sauces, Ice Cream Bars and additional confections, some available to taste with both the Vanilla and Hazelnut Sauces making one debate putting a bag under the plane instead of strictly using a carry-on or paying particularly steep shipping costs.
As friendly as most stores in Stockholm, service never pushy but always present and ready to help, it was after several tastes plus perhaps fifteen minutes of watching production of what appeared to be Jam that a purchase was made, a half-dozen flavors with duplicates as gifts all buttery and smooth with Raspberry particularly delectable, as too was one speckled with Hazelnuts.
Unable to pass on Ice Cream, a lack of Artisan parlors in Sweden potentially due to the generally cold weather, suffice it to say that regardless of season Pärlans' Bars with a crisp outside and medium-frozen center more than justify their cost and calories, in this case a simple combination of Caramel flecked with Sea Salt around Vanilla though others including Licorice, Strawberry and Chocolate are available.
