Making these sweets for christmas is an old, very common tradition among both swedes and fennoswedes. I especially want to refer to the name - knäck - because that's what the procedure does to me: "jag blir helt knäckt" = swedish slang expression for "being defeated or the experience of a disaster". In spite of years and years of effort and training the knäck still won't turn out the way it should - and if it ever did - I wouldn't want it anyway: it's too sweet.

Unfortunately the men in this household do not agree.

it looks great :)
are these the results of your making? :)
Perfect look! I remember reading in children's books about 'knäck strutar' and the words just sounded so good! Whenever I made knäck I ended up cutting/breaking it into pieces. Just the mere 'styling' proves you have patience!
P.S. Check my website...

Thank You, yes they are homemade, yesterday evening in our kitchen. :-) We had some leftover cream that would have otherwise gone bad, and so my son said: "Mummyyyy... is my memory failing me... or have we once before made knäck from old cream....?

See that's my main problem - the consistency! The knäck always ends up too creamy or too hard, and even if You do the "drop-test" You never really know how the cones will turn out. The taste is ok though, but I will try to use orange peel for flavour the next time - You think that would work?
Checked You website: Thank You! Hillarious entertainment! :-D
good idea! :o)
If it turnes out they way I want it to - and of course it will not, but anyway - I'll send You the exact recipe. ;-)
Mmmm skicka över ett "gäng" var inte snål nu......
yummy,...you seem to be artistic in everything you do
I'm looking forward to get your recipe or if you publish it here - there is one in Wikipedia, but too vague...

I might publish it. Depends on how hard the christmas spirit strikes this year. That's all I have to say about that. ;-)
