marketing text about "snoepgoed" (confectionery I suppose), refers to seasonal "spekken" associated with Christmas. I don't remember what I got in the way of spekken at Christmas, so someone needs to give me a hand. Any sweet-lovers out there?

toffees
"spekken" is in Vlaanderen een tamelijk algemene naam voor snoep. Meestal zijn het echte "toffees" die in een papiertje zijn gewikkeld, maar soms zijn het ook stukken harde karamel in verschillende kleuren.
