A Daim bar ( [1]) is a Swedish chocolate bar made from crunchy almond caramel covered in milk chocolate.
Creation
Daim was created by Marabou in Sweden in the 1950s. Marabou originally wanted to produce a version of the American Heath Co.'s bar; its vice president Lars Anderfelt inquired about licensing Heath's exact recipe. The Heath Co. refused but gave Anderfeldt a list of their ingredients. From this, Marabou created their own recipe, testing it in Stockholm in 1952 with great success. It was launched under the name Dajm throughout Sweden and Norway the next year,[2] Finland in 1963, and Denmark in 1971. The name originated as a Norwegian phonetic version of the US ten cent “dime”.[3]
