what is daim

A Daim bar is a Swedish chocolate bar made from crunchy almond caramel covered in milk chocolate. It was created by Marabou in Sweden in the 1950s, and was originally named "Dajm" which was a Norwegian phonetic version of the US ten cent "dime". The bar was renamed "Daim" in most countries in 1990, although it continued to be marketed in the United Kingdom and Ireland as Dime. The brand was purchased by the American company Kraft Foods in 1993 and is now held by Mondelez International, which Kraft spun off in 2012. The Daim bar is similar to a Heath bar but is considered better by some. The bar is known for its unique combination of surprisingly crunchy caramel coated with smooth chocolate. The Daim bar is sold in many countries and is a truly global brand. It is also used in other chocolate bars, biscuits, cakes, and ice cream. A recipe for making Daim bars at home is available on YouTube.
