Zserbó Szaloncukor 225g

A box of marzipan pralines with apricot filling, covered in an indulgent coating of dark and milk chocolate, inspired by the popular Hungarian Zserbó cake.

What Is Stühmer Zserbó Szaloncukor?

Szaloncukor is one of Hungary’s best-loved Christmas traditions: individually wrapped chocolate pralines, traditionally hung from Christmas tree branches and enjoyed throughout the festive season.

This Stühmer Zserbó Szaloncukor brings the character of the classic Hungarian cake to a festive chocolate praline. Rich walnut, fruity apricot and dark-and-milk-chocolate flavours create a generously layered treat with a familiar, comforting Christmas character.

The richly decorated burgundy-and-gold presentation box makes it especially lovely for a family tree, festive table, Christmas parcel or a thoughtful gift for anyone who loves traditional Hungarian sweets.

The Zserbó-Inspired Flavour

These pralines take inspiration from Zserbó, also known internationally as Gerbeaud cake: the classic Hungarian pairing of walnut, apricot and chocolate.

Each praline begins with a rich walnut filling, followed by bright, gently tangy apricot purée sweetened with a little honey. Candied orange peel, lemon and cinnamon add further aromatic depth, while the dark and milk chocolate coating brings the smooth, satisfying chocolate character associated with a proper Zserbó slice.

For a generous Hungarian dessert table or a Central European coffeehouse-style moment at home, pair them with our authentic, hand-baked whole Zserbó Gerbeaud cake from Budapest’s Nándori Cukrászda.

How to Enjoy and Hang Szaloncukor

Place the selection in a bowl with coffee after dinner, add it to a festive dessert table or put the box out when friends and family visit. Its familiar walnut, apricot and chocolate profile makes it particularly satisfying alongside black coffee, tea or a small glass of dessert wine.

To decorate a tree in the traditional Hungarian way, tie a small loop of fine ribbon or thread around one twisted end of each wrapper, then hang the pralines from sturdy branches. Their deep burgundy foil and white paper fringes look especially elegant among warm lights, deep-green foliage and gold or red baubles.

Where Does It Come From?

These chocolates are made by Stühmer, one of Hungary’s most historic chocolate names. Frigyes Stühmer, a master confectioner from Hamburg, began making chocolates in Hungary in 1868, establishing a tradition of carefully made confectionery and distinctive presentation.

Stühmer continues to pair classic Hungarian flavours with elegant gift-box design, making its chocolates especially suited to festive gifting and after-dinner indulgence.
