What Are Bomboane de Pom?

Bomboane de pom are individually wrapped Christmas sweets traditionally hung from Christmas tree branches. The Romanian name means "tree sweets"; they are also known regionally as saloane. Their colourful wrappers make them both edible decorations and treats to share throughout the festive season.

For many Romanian families, these sweets are part of the familiar pleasure of decorating the tree, welcoming visitors and discovering which wrappers have already been emptied. Our selection brings that festive spirit to your home through Hungarian-made chocolates in the same traditional wrapped format.

Jelly, Marzipan or Assorted Christmas Chocolates?

If you are looking for bomboane de pom cu jeleu, choose our jelly-filled Christmas chocolates. Their soft, fruity centres contrast with the dark chocolate coating, making them a natural starting point for anyone who remembers classic jelly tree sweets.

For a richer almond flavour, explore Szamos marzipan chocolates. These individually wrapped sweets make a thoughtful choice for marzipan lovers, whether arranged on the tree or served with coffee after Christmas dinner.

Prefer a little variety? Our Stühmer Christmas chocolate selection brings together different praline fillings in a presentation box. It is particularly suited to sharing, discovering new favourites and giving as a festive chocolate gift.

Looking for Bomboane de Pom de Post?

If you are choosing sweets for Postul Crăciunului, the Romanian Christmas Fast, look at the ingredients of each variety rather than assuming that all dark chocolate sweets are suitable.

Our Stühmer Jelly Szaloncukor and Stühmer Sour Cherry & Marzipan Szaloncukor contain no milk, egg, honey or gelatine. Both use pectin and are alcohol-free, making them options to consider against your own fasting requirements.

Bomboane de Pom and Hungarian Szaloncukor

In Hungary, this style of wrapped Christmas sweet is called szaloncukor. The names reflect neighbouring Christmas traditions, although recipes, fillings and chocolate coatings vary between producers.

The products in this collection are made in Hungary, and you can explore our wider szaloncukor collection for more traditional favourites and contemporary chocolate fillings.

How to Hang Christmas Tree Sweets

To decorate your tree with bomboane de pom, keep each chocolate inside its original wrapper and use fine thread or narrow ribbon:

• Tie a small loop around the narrow twisted wrapper neck, just above the sweet.
• Hang the loop over a branch sturdy enough to hold the chocolate.
• Space the sweets among your baubles and lights, leaving the colourful wrappers visible.

Keep chocolate away from heat, and save a few sweets in a bowl so there is something to share without dismantling the decorations.

A Christmas Gift for Romanian Friends and Family

A bag or box of bomboane de pom makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for Romanian friends, relatives, colleagues or hosts who remember these sweets from childhood. The familiar wrapped format brings a nostalgic touch to a festive parcel, stocking or Christmas hamper.

They are equally enjoyable away from the tree. Offer them after dinner, place one beside each festive table setting, or share a selection over coffee when friends visit.

More for Your Christmas Table

For Christmas Day celebrations, pair your sweets with Baigli cu Mac, also known as cozonac unguresc. This Hungarian-style poppy seed roll offers a generously filled pastry to slice and share alongside the chocolates. Discover more complementary treats in our Christmas food and gift collection.
