One of Hungarians’ favorite Christmas sweets, Szaloncukor (usually made of fondant, covered by chocolate), that has just this year been selected for the Hungarikum collection, is a highlight on every family’s Christmas tree every year. If you come across this Hungarian delicacy anywhere in the world, it is most likely to have been made in Hungary.

However, fondant sugar – a sugar paste crystallized from a supersaturated solution – that is the ancestor and basis of all szaloncukors, originated in France, writes history portal mult-kor.hu.

According to some sources, it was in Berlin in the 17th century that a French confectioner who had settled there introduced this fondant dessert to a wider public.
