Back in the day, before foreign snacks like chocolate and biscuits became popular, there was a wide variety of childhood <\/a>snacks in Syria, especially in Damascus, loved by both kids and adults. These treats came in many shapes and flavors and were affordable, often costing no more than five liras, and at best, ten liras. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and remember our favorite childhood snacks in Syria!<\/p>

<\/p>

\u00a0Fakher<\/a>: Everyone’s Favorite!<\/h3>

<\/p>

\"fakhr<\/div>

Fakher was a popular biscuit made of two layers of biscuit with caramel in between, all coated in chocolate or white chocolate. It cost 5 liras and was commonly found in school canteens and nearby shops. It disappeared from the market for a while, but a similar chocolate called “Princess” later appeared. Interestingly, Fakher is still available in Arabic stores across Europe and Syrian shops in the Gulf and Turkey, but it has vanished from Syrian markets.<\/p>

<\/p>

Ras Al-Abd<\/h3>

<\/p>

\"ras<\/div>

<\/p>

Ras Al-Abed was a chocolate-coated cake shaped like a ball. There were rumors that it was made from leftover sweets, which made our mothers hesitant to buy it for us, but we still bought it and loved it.<\/p>

Cookie was the first cookie many of us knew, a delicious biscuit dough filled with chocolate, perfect for school breaks.<\/p>
