Dried or candied fruit, sometimes also nuts and almonds, are sold separately or as a ready-mix. Such delicacies are usually added to cakes, like fruitcake and poppy-seed cake, ice cream, creams and other desserts, as well as cereals. Raisins, dried cranberries, colorful pieces of tropical fruit, as well as almonds, cashews or walnuts can also be used as decoration of birthday cakes or muffins. They will be excellent as a snack itself. The stores offer dried fruits and nuts in a chocolate or yoghurt shell.
