Dumle is a brand of chocolate-covered toffees marketed and manufactured by Fazer.

The toffees were first manufactured in 1945 by Mazetti, a chocolate and confectionery producer in Malmö, Sweden. [2] The original sweet consisted of a hard toffee lollipop coated in chocolate, but was not branded Dumle until 1960, [3] possibly as a reference to children's television series Humle och Dumle  [ sv ], one of the first broadcast on Swedish television.

The manufacturer was acquired by Fazer in 1975, [4] and in 1987 Fazer released a new product with a softer toffee covered in chocolate and packaged in a candy wrapper, which is now named Dumle original. They are manufactured in Vaarala  [ fi ], Vantaa, Finland. [1]

The brand now contains a range of chocolate-covered caramels and toffees, including a range of chocolates and ice creams. [5] [6] [7] A number of variations and limited editions have been produced, including apple, salty liquorice, mint, gingerbread, mango-orange, cranberries, banana, lime and chocolate-flavoured soft toffees, often with distinguishing colours on their wrappers.
