Skeletiksi

Skeletiksi is a brand of candy that originated in Finland. It is a type of licorice candy, typically in a bone-like shape, with a distinct salty flavor. The name "Skeletiksi" itself is derived from the word "skeleton," referencing the candy's characteristic shape. It is known for its strong, often polarizing, taste, which is a common characteristic of many Finnish salmiakki (salty licorice) products.

The candy is manufactured by Fazer, a prominent Finnish confectionery company. Skeletiksi is a popular treat in its home country and among Finnish expatriates. While the exact recipe and production methods are proprietary, the candy's flavor profile is consistent with traditional Finnish salmiakki, which often includes ammonium chloride as a key ingredient, contributing to its unique salty and sometimes slightly medicinal taste.

Skeletiksi is often packaged in small bags or boxes and is readily available in Finnish supermarkets and convenience stores. Its distinct appearance and strong flavor make it a memorable candy for those familiar with Nordic confectionery traditions. The candy's appeal lies in its boldness and its connection to a specific cultural taste preference.
