Kruvikinnituste

Kruvikinnituste are a type of traditional Estonian confectionery, known for their distinctive shape and flavor. The name "kruvikinnituste" is derived from the Estonian words "kruvi," meaning "twist," and "kinnituste," meaning "candies." These treats are typically made from a mixture of sugar, corn syrup, and other sweeteners, which is then rolled into thin, twisted ropes. The ropes are then cut into small pieces and coated in a thin layer of chocolate or caramel.

Kruvikinnituste are often associated with the Estonian Christmas season, as they are a popular gift and treat during the holiday period. They are also commonly given as a gift to children, as they are believed to bring good luck and fortune in the coming year. The exact origins of kruvikinnituste are unclear, but they have been a part of Estonian culture for centuries.

Today, kruvikinnituste are still a popular treat in Estonia, and they can be found in many traditional confectionery shops and markets. They are also a popular export item, with many Estonian confectionery companies sending kruvikinnituste to customers around the world. Despite their popularity, kruvikinnituste are not widely available outside of Estonia, and they are often considered a delicacy by those who have tried them.
