''Szaloncukor'' (Slovak: ''salónka'', plural ''salónky'';〔Petráčková, Věra; Klaus, Jiří, edi. (2005), „(salónka )“, ''Slovník cudzích slov (akademický)'' (2nd edition), Bratislava: Slovenské pedagogické nakladateľstvo, ISBN 8010003816.〕 literally: "parlour candy") is a type of sweet traditionally associated with Christmas in Hungary and Slovakia.〔Meady, Angela Mikita (2010), (Keeping up Christmas Traditions in Thunder Bay ), Mississauga, ON: Kanadský Slovák. Retrieved December 29, 2014.〕 It is a tipical Hungarikum. It is usually made of fondant, covered by chocolate and wrapped in shiny coloured foil, then hung on the Christmas tree as decoration. Every year, almost a kilo and a half of it are consumed per household during Christmas season. The tradition of hanging these candies on the Christmas tree started in the 19th century. It was named ''szaloncukor'' because the tree usually stood in the parlour (''szalon'' in Hungarian; ''Cukor'' means "sugar" or "candy"; in Slovak ''salón'' is "parlour" and ''-ka'' is diminutive suffix). The name comes from the German-Austrian ''Salonzuckerl'', this is why the original name was ''szalonczukkedli''. == Manufacturing == The whole procedure was manual until the first fondant-machines have appeared. These were made by Stühmer chocolate factory for the famous sweet-shop, Gerbaud.〔(Gebeaud in VisitBudapest ) Retrieved March 20, 2013〕 The last part of the procedure to be mechanized was the thrumming of the end of the papercover. Considering that it has such a typical shape to keep, this part was not to be omitted. Fondant candies originally came in a few flavours (vanilla and strawberry for example), but now there is a wide variety of different kinds of candies, including jelly, coconut, hazelnut and lots of other flavors.〔(• 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Szaloncukor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
