Szaloncukor (literally: “parlour candy”) is a type of sweet traditionally associated with Christmas in Hungary. It is a typical Hungarikum. It is usually made of fondant, covered by chocolate and wrapped in shiny coloured foil, then hung on the Christmas tree as decoration.

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”). The name comes from the German-Austrian Salonzuckerl, this is why the original name was szalonczukkedli.
