The Sunday Challenge = Chocolate
---------------------------------------------------
In the Netherlands, hagelslag refers to small pieces of confectionery, similar to sprinkles, that are used as a topping for buttered bread. This iconic Dutch food is eaten at meals or as a snack and is popular with both children and adults. Hagelslag is offered in a variety of flavors and colors, with chocolate being the most common.
Hagelslag is similar to sprinkles in their appearance, but that is where the likeness ends. In order for chocolate hagelslag to be called chocoladehagelslag, it needs to contain at least 32 percent cocoa. On the other hand, American chocolate sprinkles are made of very little cocoa and are mostly sugar, corn syrup, lecithin, and carnauba wax.
