What Makes Kiss-Kiss Candy Special?
This candy is easy to spot! It's shaped like a little oval and is bright pink. When you bite into it, you'll first feel a slightly crunchy shell. Then, you get to the best part: a soft, gooey toffee that's super chewy. It's a fun mix of textures!
Where Can You Find Kiss-Kiss?
You can usually find Kiss-Kiss candies during the Christmas season in their own special package. But if you want them all year round, look for the Fazerin Parhain candy mix bag. Kiss-Kiss is always included in that yummy mix!
The Story of the Cat Wrapper
One of the coolest things about Kiss-Kiss candy is its wrapper. Each candy is wrapped in paper that shows cute, playful kittens. These cat pictures have been on the wrappers for a very long time. They are a big part of what makes Kiss-Kiss so famous.
A Very Old Trademark
The pictures of the playing kittens are so special that they even got their own stamp in 1991! This was to celebrate 100 years of the Finnish candy industry. The name "Kiss-Kiss" itself is also very old. It was officially registered as a trademark on November 15, 1901. This makes Kiss-Kiss the oldest Finnish trademark that is still used in Finland today! A trademark is like a special sign or name that shows who made a product. It helps people know it's the real deal.
Other "Kiss-Kiss" Candies
You might find other toffee candies called "Кис Кис" (which also means Kiss-Kiss) in Russia. These candies, found in places that used to be part of the Soviet Union, also have a picture of a cat on their wrapper, much like Fazer's Kiss-Kiss. However, these Russian candies are square, not oblong like the Finnish ones.
