Fresh pretzel rods are hand dipped in creamy chewy caramel then encased in rich chocolate adorned with sliced almonds.  Each box contains 6 pretzels. A true favorite!
History....The okyeame is the king's counselor, confidant, orator and diplomat. He may also be the spokesperson for the abusua or family. The okyeame must have the ability to polish whatever is said to Ohene or from Ohene to his people. At public functions, the okyeame carries a staff (poma) of authority. The poma is usually carved from wood and may be decorated with gold leaf, intricate carvings or ornaments. Usually the top part of the poma has a symbol designed to communicate a specific meaning or message being conveyed to the public on behalf of the king. The symbol can also communicate the status and the authority of the okyeame.

Each Akan clan can be identified by its common emblem or symbol attached to the poma. The abusua poma identifies the bearer as a member and representative of the leader of that clan for purposes of political negotiation or during public ceremonies of the clan at funerals, durbars, etc.
