About This Candy
The Texture and Feel of Crispy Cocoa Biscuit and Cream
Dark chocolate sandwich cookie delivers a crisp, thin snap on the first bite that gives way to a smooth cocoa cream center. The biscuit shell hits with a dry, bittersweet cocoa flavor that tastes darker and less sweet than the original nougat version. As a result, the 35% cream filling provides the sweetness, melting slowly against the tongue with a rich cocoa butter smoothness. The contrast between crunchy shell and soft center creates a two-texture experience in every cookie. In addition, the cocoa powder baked into the biscuit adds a roasted depth that lingers after swallowing.
The filling carries more intensity than standard chocolate cookies because it uses 11% fat-reduced cocoa powder. Similarly, this cocoa cream filled biscuit pairs well with black coffee where the bitterness of both flavors amplify each other. Furthermore, the cookie holds together well without crumbling when dunked. Each piece delivers a consistent filling-to-biscuit ratio throughout the pack. Overall, this darker variant turns the classic fika cookie into something bolder.

Why This Swedish Snack Hits Different
This Swedish cocoa cream biscuit comes from Göteborgs Kex, the company behind Sweden's most popular cookie brand since 1963. The Dark Choco version replaces the original hazelnut nougat with a deeper cocoa filling while keeping the same crispy biscuit shell. In contrast, most commercial chocolate sandwich cookies use artificial cocoa flavoring and palm oil shortening. Consequently, the Göteborgs Kex version tastes like actual cocoa rather than sweetened filler. The brand bakes all Ballerina products without palm oil, using sunflower oil instead. Kandy Lover packs every box fresh and ships it directly from Sweden. For more Swedish cookies and biscuits, browse our full snack selection.
