Festival’s star guest was Chocolate Academy founder Chantal Coady from London who held presentations about chocolate.

Fine wine, special fruit brandies and gourmet gastronomy accompanied to unique hand-made chocolates and world-famous brands in the event. Guests could take part of family programs, professional workshops and chocolate making courses.

20.000 visitors prove the growing interest in the world of chocolates which results that quality chocolate consumption is getting more popular in Hungary.

The cooperation strengthens Bonbonetti brand’s domestic position as well as its further expansion in Europe.

Bonbonetti Sweet Shop’s opening in Andrássy Street, in the heart of the city is an important milestone to continue domestic brand building. Bonbonetti Sweet Shop offers many novelties that can be exclusively bought here: consumers can taste fine candies, chocolate dragées, special creamy pralines besides the well-known Bonbonetti chocolates and candies.

Visitors can try out bulk purchase or enjoy preparing their own selection from more than 10 tastes of hand-made Bonbonita pralines. Bonbonetti Sweet Shop is looking forward to domestic and foreign consumers with continuous promotions and tastings.

The new Bonbonetti candy portfolio consists of 4 hard candies and 2 soft candies. Bonbonetti’s new, fruity candies are produced with concentrated juices, while jelly candies have vegetable origin. Indulge yourself and your family with high-quality candies!

After having received the regulatory approval from the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine that was needed for the European expansion of Roshen Confectionery Corporation, Bonbonetti can officially become part of the Roshen Group.

Roshen that employs more than 10.000 people and reaches almost 1,2 billion USD turnover is one of the world’s most prominent confectionary companies with a strong market background.

The corporation produces more than 200 types of confectionery products: chocolates, candies, biscuits, wafers in 7 confectionery factories. Its total production capacity is over 400.000 tons per year.

As a sequel of this spring’s production cooperation within the strategic partnership, Roshen has already made decision about some production-related investments.

From its 1 billion HUF investment in domestic production development, the new investor expects Bonbonetti’s competitiveness to grow.

The cooperation strengthens Bonbonetti brand’s domestic position as well as its further expansion especially in Europe besides the almost 50 countries where it has already been present.

Bonbonetti Group’s two flagship brands – the unique market leader alcoholic praline Cherry Queen and tibi, the last brand from the great traditional chocolates that still has been produced in Hungary – also look forward to the new opportunities as a result of the cooperation. The production of these popular brands remains in Hungary, in Bonbonetti’s factory in Budapest.

Bonbonetti that is mainly famous for its chocolate products will enter into new confectionery categories in the future as well.

After having changed ownership structure the investor’s objective is to develop the Hungarian production base which could create new workplaces at Bonbonetti Group.

Besides the free chocolate tastings, children programs and evening cocktail bar that were very popular last year, a special program was included, too! Bonbonetti organised Miss Cherry Queen  Chocolate Beauty contest in the Sweet Days Festival!

Bonbonetti wanted to find the lady who would ideally represent Hungary’s favourite cherry praline with her beauty, elegance and style. The final that took place in Sweet Days Festival was won by the 18-year old Nikolett Szalkai whose face will be printed onto each Cherry Queen gift box for 1 year.

After the first successful Sweet Days Chocolate Festival organised last year, Bonbonetti Group will be waiting for chocolate fans with special programs this year, too.

ROSHEN Confectionary Corporation that is one of the world’s most prominent confectionary companies entered into a strategic agreement with Bonbonetti Group. The purchasing, production and sales cooperation strengthens Bonbonetti brand and supports its international expansion in Europe.

Roshen that has more than 10.000 employees, almost 1,2 billion USD turnover and more than 450.000 tons production capacity, is the world’s 15^th most significant confectionary company.

Giant Christmas candy weighted more than 200 kilograms that would total up to 20.000 normal Christmas candies.  It was 3 metres long that would nicely decorate a 60 metres tall Christmas tree.

By producing the biggest Christmas candy in the world, the ultimate significant Hungarian chocolate factory found out an unusual method in order to point out the quality of Christmas candies. After many weeks of labour company employees working on this project successfully formed a marzipan mass that was dipped into dark chocolate, then wrapped into silver foil and tissue paper fringed on both ends according to traditional wrapping.  The final sweet’s weight was more than 200 kilograms, and its length – 3 metres, so it could only be moved by a fork-lift trailer for the authentication of the record. The giant Christmas candy was 20.000 times heavier than the standard size one, so if you wanted to hang it on a Christmas tree, you had better choosing a minimum 60 metres tall tree.  Of course, it didn’t happen, because the company offered the delicacy for charity in order to please many poor children on the eve of the feast of love.

MagyarBrands rewards the Hungarian brands that represent the Hungarian enterprises in our country and abroad, too on basis of measurable criteria (tradition, management, employment, ownership) and professional review (awareness, reputation, identity).  The traditional Bonbonetti brands that are still popular nowadays were rewarded with MagyarBrands prize for the second time. After its 35^th place last year ‘tibi’ chocolate was elected the 17^th most prominent Hungarian brand in 2011.
