Taste is, of course, personal, but when it comes to texture, ingredients, and how they actually taste on a warm sandwich, if you want to be ready for any occasion—whether it’s a luxurious breakfast, a quick post-gym snack, or a hearty evening meal—these three are the ones to have.
Here is your “Top 3: Must-Haves at Home”:
1. Coop Duo (Hazelnut & Milk) – The All-Rounder
This is the king of everyday luxury. The large 750g jar is so affordable that you never have to skimp.
- Why: The white milk cream makes the sandwich extra creamy and sweet. It’s the ultimate “comfort sandwich” when you’re craving something delicious.
- Best on: White toasted bread with a thin layer of butter underneath.
2. Barebells Protein Core (Chocolate Hazelnut) – The Smart Choice
You can’t eat sugar all the time, and that’s where Barebells comes in. It packs a punch with 22g of protein and no added sugar.
- Why: It surprisingly tastes like Nutella but actually provides nourishing satisfaction. Perfect when you’re craving a chocolate sandwich but want to keep your energy steady throughout the day or after a workout.
- Best on: Whole grain toasted bread or rice cakes.
3. Ovomaltine Crunchy Cream – The Experience Winner
You need a jar with texture at home. There’s nothing more boring than when everything is completely smooth.
- Why: The crunch in Ovomaltine is legendary. It’s a blend of chocolate and malt that offers a flavor you won’t find anywhere else. It always impresses guests who’ve never tried it.
- Best on: A really crispy, well-toasted sandwich (preferably sourdough).
Pro Tip: If you have these three at home, you can even host a “Chocolate Tasting” on your sandwiches—a sandwich for luxury, one for crunch, and one for protein!
Which of these three do you think will run out first in your pantry?
Here you have the complete compilation of chocolate creams in Sweden—from luxurious brands to the striped Duo favorites and the most affordable budget options.
The table is sorted by type so you can easily find what you’re looking for to top your toasted sandwich.

Quick Shopping Guide for Sandwiches:
- Best for Families: Go for Coop or ICA Duo (750g). It’s the most “cream for your money,” and the striped jars are always a hit.
- For the Discerning: Lindt Hazelnut Cream. It offers a completely different level of cocoa quality.
- Most Fun Texture: Ovomaltine. It crackles wonderfully against the toasted bread.
- The Eco Choice: Nocciolata. It’s organic and palm oil-free, making it feel a bit better for your stomach (and heart).
- For Muscles: Choose Barebells. With 22g of protein, it’s actually a sensible snack after your workout.
- For a Childishly Good Sandwich: Choose Coop Duo. The white and brown stripes are unbeatable combined with butter and toasted bread.
- For the Luxurious Coffee Break: Choose Lindt. It offers the purest chocolate flavor on the entire list.
- • • For the Health-Conscious: Nick’s or HealthyCo are best since they have no added sugar (which almost all others on the list do).
Remember: Prices may vary slightly depending on whether you live in a big city or a smaller town, but this gives you a good indication of what you should pay!
