Wiener nougat is one of the oldest classic candies of the Finnish confectionery company Fazer.
Karl Fazer brought the recipe to Finland from his trip to Vienna, Austria in 1904.
[1] Throughout the years, there have been several different kinds of packaging for Wiener nougat.
The wrapper was originally silver-coloured, but in the 1970s it gained blue and yellow hues, and in the 2000s the candies were wrapped in a pale-coloured wrapper.
In 2014 Fazer replaced the cocoa butter in the original recipe with cheaper palm oil.
