What is kviklunsj?

Kviklunsj is a chocolate-covered wafer biscuit bar that originated in Norway and is popular throughout Scandinavia. It was first introduced in Norway in 1937 and is made by the Norwegian company Freia. The name "kviklunsj" loosely translates to "quick snack" in English and is often eaten as a snack or light lunch. The traditional packaging features a blue and silver color scheme and the distinctive image of a cross-country skier, reflecting the Norwegian love of winter sports. Kviklunsj is often paired with a hot beverage, such as coffee or tea, and is a staple treat during ski trips and outdoor excursions. It has also gained a niche following outside of Scandinavia, with some specialty stores and online retailers offering imported versions.
