Nyakers Pepparkakor, the Swedish term for Ginger Snaps, is the oldest gingerbread biscuit bakery in Sweden. Nyakers began in the '40s when two brothers from Nyaker got the idea to distribute the gingerbread biscuits that had been baked for generations in their home in Nyaker, a district in Vasterbotten which was already famous as the "Promised Land of gingerbread biscuits". The two brothers worked out a recipe for the gingerbread biscuits and began to bake, and in fact this 1952 recipe is still used today and is a well preserved secret.
The pretty retro gift tin makes this a thoughtful Christmas gift or even a host/hostess gift for the holidays.
