Da-Capo

Da-Capo[1] is a chocolate bar produced by the Finnish company Fazer since 1916.

The name Da-Capo comes from the musical term da capo (redo from start), because it was invented as a recycling idea when the company wanted to reuse liqueur pralines that failed quality control.

The pralines were melted down and Rhum Martinique was added to the mix, soothing the liqueur taste down.

[2] Da-Capo has been produced as a chocolate bar since 1949, and the wrapped pralines returned to the market in 1957.

The rum content of the chocolate bar might still have an effect in a breath analysis test, if the test is done immediately after eating a Da-Capo bar.
