Hey guys! I haven’t posted for a very long time and I’m sorry about that. 😦 I didn’t know it would take so long to make today’s blog post and get it ready, so I apologize for that. Today I’m doing something a little different. I earned some money and bought a variety of different foreign sweets and candies from World Market to try. Let’s get started with the reviews!
1) Orange and Chocolate Spread from Holland, $4
My Opinion- This was very good! It was sort of like a higher-quality Nutella with orange flavor. I think it would make a good spread on just some toasted bread if you’re looking for something sweet.
2) Vincenzi Minivoglie Cookies from Italy (assorted pack), $4
My Opinion- For some reason, I thought that since these were Italian and not American that they would be higher quality tasting, but they weren’t that amazing. Most of the cookies were just average or ok tasting, but I really loved the filled ones.
3) Botan Rice Candy from Asia (I believe it’s from Japan but I’m not entirely sure), $1.50
This candy comes in an incredibly small box, with about 6 small candies included. There is an outer wrapper that you can peel off to reveal some rice paper around the candy. You eat the rice paper by letting it dissolve in your mouth, and then eat the candy. In my opinion, this Andy is pretty good but some might not like it because it has sort of a bubblegum flavored medicine sort of taste. (And I hated that bubblegum flavored kids’ medicine , but for some reason I like this candy. I guess it feels nostalgic in a way. )
4) Every Burger Cookies from Asia, $3
My Opinion- I couldn’t read this package because it looks like it’s all in Chinese or Japanese, so I thought these would be like little gummies or something. But when I opened the package, I saw that they’re little cookies. They tasted alright. They seem like a little cheap treat you would buy if you feel like having chocolate .
5) Kasugai Lychee Gummies from Asia, $4
I got these because I wanted to try something a bit more unique. I had no idea what a lychee tasted like, but I have a friend who went to China and he said that they tasted good. There were a lot in this bag, so I shared with some friends at school. I, personally, really liked his. It was a very good gummy, but the flavor is incredibly hard to explain. I found that from everyone who tried it, they either loved it or hated it, so this would be a nice thing to try but only if you don’t mind wasting a few dollars.
6) Droste Milk Pastilles from Holland, $2
My Opinion: When I bought this I thought that these would be like chocolate cookies or something similar. But when I tried these, I discovered that they’re just plain milk chocolate. They’re pretty good, and I was surprised to find how cheap they were.
7) Regina Pineapple Chocolate Bar from Portugal, $3
My Opinion- So I got this for something a bit unique and stranger than everything else. I thought that it would be a pineapple filled chocolate bar, but it turned out to be just pineapple flavored chocolate. At first, I just tasted the chocolate and it was delicious, then all of a sudden the pineapple flavor hit. I could kind of taste pineapple, but at the same time I was getting a bizarre banana taste. So I didn’t really like this much because the fruit flavors tasted incredibly artificial.
8) Ritter Sport Strawberry Creme Chocolate Bar from Germany, $2.80
My Opinion- This is one of the best chocolate bars I’ve ever had. The chocolate tastes super high-quality, and the strawberry creme tastes natural and delicious. I almost couldn’t believe this tasted so good with such a low price. This is something I would definitely recommend to everyone.
9) Kinder Bueno Chocolate (3 pack) from Italy, $5
My Opinion- This was the best thing I tried, so I saved it for last. On the outside, there is some yummy milk chocolate. Underneath that, there is a layer of crunch with some vanilla hazelnut cream inside. This is a pretty simple chocolate, but the flavors are outstanding. I would buy this all the time if I could, because that’s how good it tastes.
That’s all for today’s post. I hope you guys enjoyed it, and see you next time!
