7 Delicious Icelandic Snacks To Try While Visiting - Vegan Friendly

There are a large variety of Icelandic snacks in the country, and I am just featuring 7 delicious ones that I like to eat in this video. Because I am strictly a plant-based eater, I felt it was important to only showcase vegan friendly Icelandic snacks. All of the snacks can be found in any of the major food markets in Iceland, such as Bónus, Krónan, Hagkaup, and Nettó.

The list of the snacks are below in the order that they appear in the video.

1. Papriku Stjörnur
2. Stjörnu Rulla & Fylltar Reimar
3. Calífórniu Rúsínar
4. Egils Malt (maltextrakt)
5. Flat Kökur
6. Súkkulaði - plain Icelandic chocolate
7. Jóla Dýr (Christmas animal)

I highly recommend trying out these different Icelandic snacks while you are in Iceland. It is pretty fun to take them home as souvenirs for others or yourself. When you get to the store, you will see that there are even more Icelandic snacks available than what I have listed, but this is a great place to start.

So weird. I went down the rabbit hole watching this and remembered a candy my stepfather used to buy in NYC were we lived, it was Turkish candy with pistachios. Midway through your video I did an Amazon check on Turkish candy and BAM! Found it! Because I used to wake up late in the night and 'steal' his candy from the fridge, at 60 now? I think it fitting I send him a box out of the blue and see if he remembers! HA! Thank you!

You have an exuberant personality that make your videos not only informative, but fun to watch! Seriously, you should be made the official tourism spokesperson for Iceland.

[lisafranco]

Damn you for getting me addicted to Papriku Stjörnur, it's so good.

[MeganOlivier]

The Icelandic tourism board should be paying you 😂 Loving your content - subscribed!

My grandfather used to give me one bottle of Malt every day and every time he read the label ... " nærandi og styrkjandi, gefur hraustlegt og gott útlit, bætir meltinguna "
(nourishing and strengthening, gives a healthy and good look, improves digestion ( google translate ))
I had that same "thing" with the bottle opener ...:)

Love to know there are great vegan snacks in Iceland. It’s been something I’ve wondered about for when I eventually visit! Can’t wait!

[Nubianette]

Anytime I’m in a Scandinavian country, I bring back licorice for one of my Norwegian friends. The last time I was in Iceland I discovered a chocolate bar with caramel or toffee filled licorice. I bought several, but I got stuck on a road trip, and ate one. Yum! Then I ate them all before I left. Oops! The only way I can eat licorice is chocolate covered. I like the dried fish dipped in butter. It’s a great bar snack for a non-vegan. Also non-vegan, I had the flatbread with a lamb pate spread at a farmhouse. 😊

Oh my goodness, you are especially beautiful in this video. Love your hair! Stay healthy and happy. 😀 Thanks for the vegan treats. What a fun video.

[kelliearchie]

Your little dance with the chocolate covered raisins, too cute. your locs are beautiful! 😍

My husband and I were in Iceland a week ago and ate 2 bags of the paprika stars.. ... omg they were so addicting. Snacked on them on our drive from Hveragerdi to Vik!

[frankielee]

I found you while googling "good manners in iceland" while preparing for an upcoming vacation. Your videos are so helpful and fun!

[shestewa]

I was so surprised that you didn't troll everybody with a packet of Hakarl (sorry my keyboard lacks the accent) for everyone. It'd be interesting if you did a video on foods at a traditional icelandic dinner or feast with the (what non-Icelandic people consider) unusual foods that need to be washed down with Schnapps! At uni in Scotland two of my professors were Icelandic and my best friend for a time was from an Icelandic family and I heard about these types of dinners and social functions a lot. It might open a lot of eyes to how focused on fishing industries the Icelandic country is!
Again, I love your videos!

My grandmother's mother from Scotland but all other family are full Irish and Iceland too she used live in Iceland always drink tea all time never have coffee and cook outside food so she move to usa when she was 14 year cuz British was invasion on England uk war 2 long long long time ago so my mother's mother is full Irish also so I'm from usa nice to meet you ! Hope u has enjoy in Iceland

[Birta]

As an icelander living abroad I really enjoy these videos about Iceland from the view of immigrants, it makes me nostalgic.
And to people wanting to order Icelandic foods and treats there are a couple of pages like nammi.is where you can buy them but they are really expensive there, to me it's cheaper to go to Iceland and buy to bring back home with me.

Egils Malt is a Liquorice flavored soda which is why it mixes so well with Appelsín (also from Egils), because oranges and savory liquorice are a match made in heaven

[citizenkane]

I bet you could get hold of the Danish Skole kridt in Iceland. I love them, there´s a mild taste of licorice. If you haven´t tried them, do it.

[MYHelen]

Puerto Ricans have a malt beer that has no alcohol too called malta.

[catherinelucas]

Oh my goodness, so funny watching you eat snacks! Love your vids, informative and entertaining. Previously I only thought Iceland was cold, and there's fish. You've way expand my mind. I lived in Germany for a while; looks like some words are similar. Maybe I could manage if I visit, which I'm interested in doing now because of you. Have to watch more of your vids first! Peace!

[laura.clarke]

These all look so yummy! I'd love to see more vegan food in Iceland videos; as a fellow vegan sometimes I find it a bit tricky for eating out when in Iceland so I'd love your tips and tricks!

[RiverPower]

I love Malta but can't drink too much. Us Caribbean folk are familiar with it.
