It has already been a tradition for many years that every Czech and Slovak family buys a “Christmas Chocolate Collection” (CCC) or “Christmas Set,” with which to decorate their Christmas trees. It is a colorful pallet of figurines and other decorative ornaments made of chocolate. Some of them are hollow and others have a creamy filling (vanilla, nuts, caramel, milk, punch, and more). The sets can be either in milk, dark or white chocolate or a mix of all of them. Each candy is wrapped in a shiny paper with colorful details.

 

Many people don’t keep their CCC on their trees for a long time. They are so delicious that they become a target of adult or child “thieves.” Some of these thieves are so brilliant that they manage to remove the candy and keep the wrapping expanded looking like there is still something in there. They can also fill it with something else to give it the weight and form back. As you can imagine, Czech and Slovak Christmas can be about more than just giving and receiving. This is just a fun part of this wonderful holiday.

 

If you miss this delicious treat or other Czech and Slovak sweets, please visit our partner websites below. They offer more than just traditional Czech and Slovak food. They became our partners about two months ago and we did not have a chance to introduce them to you yet. We hope, however, that their links in our sidebar caught your eyes and you have visited their sites already.
