haags+jantje

Haags Jantje Haags Jantje is a milk chocolate filled with praline nuts. It was created by a man from the The Hague, Netherlands named Den Haag. The chocolate has the image of a young count named Jantje, who died, molded into it. Jantje inherited the title after his father (Count Floris V) was assassinated. Count Floris V ruled Holland from 1256 to 1296. Jantje couldn’t handle the pressure of being count so he passed the role to his cousin. In that same month Jantje died, so the chocolate honors him. There is also a sculpture and a nursery rhyme that honors him.

A description on how to make this chocolate is you need the right ingredients to get started, need the right tools(pot, stove) to melt the cocoa beans and add any extra ingredients in order to add some extra flavors.

We will most likely be seeing this chocolate and the sculpture on our trip when we tour the Netherlands, that is why this food is important to our trip. It also tells a little about the history of the Hague.
