\\nIcelandic Christmas Tradition
\\nChristmas candies! I feel like a holiday in Iceland is not complete without some kind of candy that is made especially for this time of the year.
\\n
\\nThe big candy producers like N\\xf3\\xed S\\xedrius, Apollo and G\\xf3a all have some type of candy during this time. I especially love J\\xf3lad\\xfdr, which is a vegan candy from Freyja. It is dark chocolate with creamy mint filling. So tasty and way too easy to eat the whole bag.
