About This Candy
Daim is the Swedish candy bar that most Americans have unknowingly already encountered — it's the one sold at IKEA checkout counters worldwide. A thin layer of crunchy, buttery almond caramel encased in Marabou milk chocolate. The texture contrast is phenomenal: the caramel shatters when you bite into it, then melts into the creamy chocolate. Originally launched in 1953, Daim has become an international sensation and is now used as an ingredient in IKEA's famous Daim cake.
