Knäck

Knäck is a type of sweet candy that is very popular in certain parts of the world, especially during the holiday season. It is usually made with sugar, syrup, and cream, and sometimes other ingredients like nuts or chocolate. The mixture is heated and stirred until it reaches a certain temperature, and then it is poured into molds or onto a surface to cool and harden.

The name "knäck" comes from the Swedish word for "crack," because the candy is supposed to have a kind of crispy, crunchy texture. It can be quite difficult to make, because the mixture has to be brought up to a very precise temperature and then cooled quickly in order to achieve the right consistency. But when it is done correctly, knäck can be a delicious and satisfying treat that is perfect for sharing with friends and family.
