Lithuanian snacks

I made a swap on Instagram with @lithuaniangirl16  and she sent me these Lithuanian candies and snacks in return of the ones I sent to her. Let’s get started!

  First of all I received this big package of fruit flavoured gummies. They are called Mix and I think Laima is the brand. (@lithuaniangirl16 if you read this post please confirm my guesses and doubts in a comment 🙂 )

The gummies have so real fruit flavour, they are not artificial, and that is the fact I like about them, but the texture is strange, maybe because I am more used to «plastic» artificially gummies than natural ones.

Then we move onto a salty snack. Oho! Snack is a package of puffed wheat with onion, leek? and yogurt? Please, let me know the real ingredients of this ❤

They are so tasty, but the flavour is a little bit strange for me. I actually like them, even they are not crunchy, but the flavour is a strong and litlle bit spicy one, so I still have to get used to it.

Nomeda is a chocolate bar filled with  wafle, strawberry jelly and peanuts I think , but I am not 100% sure . The texture is crunchy and the flavour you feel the most is the strawberry jelly. I had never tasted something similar to this and I am not sure of my feelings, but it is not bad at all, just a little bit oversweet when you have eaten more than 3 bites.

Pupa is another chocolate bar, this time filled with cocoa and coffe «cream». It tastes too much like coffe, and I do like coffe, but I have never liked things with coffe flavour. However, this is not as bas as it could be. I could perfectly ate it all, but still think coffe flavoured things are not my all time favourites.

And last but not least  there is this Manija chocolate bar filled with milk cream, caramel and peanuts. The milk cream part tastes just as Milky Way (have you ever tried them?), and then there is the caramel which I love, but the worst part about this are the peanuts. If this will have made without those big pieces of peanuts it will be perfect, but guess what? I have never liked chocolate with dried fruts and nuts, not even almonds. I like to enjoy the flavour of the chocolate itself, maybe with a little bit of caramel of whatever, but not almonds or peanuts or those kind of dried fruts. In my opinion they ruin the pleasure of eating chocolate.

Of course everyone has their opinions and likes, so I respect everyone of them. Do you like chocolate with dried fruts, or you are just like me and cant stand it? Let me know in the comments please 🙂

Chocolate from Italy

My dear penpal @marika_vistarini on Instagram sent me attached to her letter these two Italian chocolates.

First one is a cute package with smily faces. They aree chocolate cookies called Faccine, from Balocco company. As you can see they arrived all broken, so I cant show you a whole face, but I imagine them so cute.

The important here is the flavour, so lets go to it. The cookies are so crunchy and soft. The texture is incredible and the flavour is so chocolate delicious! the package say the have Cocoa and Nutella. So they have to be amazing, and they surely are.

I will ask her to send them again sometime. ❤

The second and last one for today is this chocolate roll called Rollino cocoa from Balconi brand. She wasnt going to send me the whole package as it is huge, so she sent me one packed individualy. I have to admit that I dont like transparent packagings without any drawing, so that’s why I put the a 5 on packaging.

The flavour is too similar to other chocolate cakes we have here in Spain, but I noticed a strong flavour. They are good, but not as good as I expected, so they have an 8.

Snacks from USA (Minion Tic Tacs, Pop Tarts, Reese´s, Goldfish, Cheetos and Slim Jim)

Today is the turn of more USA candy, chocolates and snacks, are you ready?

I had seen this package of Minions Tic Tacs  so many times on Instagram photos, and why to lie, I wanted so bad. In Spain there is a box of Tic Tacs with minion image in the box, but not drawn on the Tic Tacs itself.

This plus the pop tarts and Reese’s I am going to review later were sent by @mintyxpost  on Instagram because of a candy swap we did.

The flavour of these mints is so so good! They are fluit flavoured but I do think they taste like sweet and at the same time sour lemon, and I like it a lot.

Candy from Japan (Milky produts, Puré gummis and marshmallows)

Thanks to my sweet penpal @chihirohakota (on Instagram) from Japan I had the opportunity of tasting all these Japanesse candy and chocolates. Here you can see photos of them and their reviews 🙂

Most of the products I received are from Milky company, so I think it is pretty popular there.

This one in particular are little chocolates individualy wrapped fill with green tea cream (I think). In my opinion, the flavour of these is strange, the chocolate doesnt taste too much like chocolate. But they are no baad.

Snacks from Hong Kong (Ahh´, Pop Can, chocolate and green tea cookies)

Hello again guys! I told you in the last post that I had more snacks from @fsw_swap on Instagram to review, so here they come!! And with these we put end to her snacks, but not to China/Hong Kong snacks hahaha

The first one is a salty snack. It is called Ahh’ and it is from the brand Richeese, which I search on the Internet and I think it is from Indonesia. The package also says triple cheese, so I bet it exists this same snack but with less cheese.

Now we get into the test tasting. When you first open it you see an orange bar with lot of cheese smell. When you bite it you see that is a corn snack such as  Gusanitos in Spain but covered with lots and lots of cheese! I couldnt stop eating it and I finish it in just a second! It was so so would, really. Very soft and crunchy. I wish Spanish Gusanitos tasted like this.

Candy from Taiwan and Hong Kong (Hi-Chew lychees and strawberry, Sanrio gummies and Haw Flakes)

Hi! I received these candies some days ago, they come from Taiwan thanks to @_smlee on Instagram.

Hi-Chew is a popular candy in Japan, but I do think they are sold in more Asia countries. They are little packages that came with several chewy candy. They are similar to Sugus in Spain, but the texture is so so different. I think Hi-Chew has lots and lots of different flavours, and this is Lychee one.

I have always like the taste of Lychees, so I do like this candy a lot, but maybe it will be a strange flavour for someone that hasnt taste lychees ever.

Mexican stuff (Bubulubu, Tin Larín, Kranky, Kisses and Pelon Pelo Rico)

My boyfriend is Mexican, but he has been living in Spain for 10 years now. He goes every summer to Mexico to visit his family, and this time he bought me lots of candy and sweets for me to review here. So lets start!

Bubulubu is a mini marshmallow with strawberry jelly and covered with chocolate. I have a bag that contais 15 mini Bubulubu.

The flavour is just awesome, but it is more awesome if you put them in the fridge and eat them cold. The marshmallow is so soft and the jelly so tasty, and chocolate just makes it more perfect!

Candy from the USA (Nerds, Sour Patch, Mamba (3 flavours) and fruit animal snacks)

I received two packages with products from USA and I want to review them all together as in a mear future I am getting more USA stuff and dont want to make the post so long.
These products are thanks to Alex on Facebook and @yudiaz14 on Instagram! Thanks guys!

First of all I want to review this candy called Nerds! I know they are so famous in the USA but I had never tried them, it is the first time I do it.

I recieved this lil box of one flavour, seriously strawberry, but i know there are lots and lots of different flavours and different format packages.

They come as little rocks of pink colour (strawberry) and you can put several of them in your mouth as they are so tinny.

When you start sucking and biting them they have a very strong flavour! I dont mean bad strong flavour, I do mean strong because they taste too much but they are so awesome!! My dad also liked them a lot!!

I have already asked some american people to send me more of different flavours to have the chance of taste them as well.

If you want to send me some, make a coment, and we will swap a parcel.

Candy and Gum from Spain (Spots Rugby Ball gum, Mojito gum and Trolli Burger gummy)

Today I am going to review gums and gummies bought in Spain, it will be a short post as I spent all the day at University, but following ones will be longer and of candy from countries as Taiwan, Japan and Mexico!! 🙂

This is another bubble gum from the brand Fini. This time is a rugby ball, included in the sport balls gums. Last time was a tennis ball, do you remember?

The tennis ball was more sour than this one, like a citric flavour, but this rugby ball is more sweet and it also has juice inside.

The only bad thing anout this kind of gums is that the flavour lasts little time. They will be much better if you could chew them until you are bored.

Cartoons corn snacks (Minios, Frozen and Time for adventures)

Today is Sunday, so I will review three cartoons corn snacks that I have being eating during this week (I couldn’t it all three in one day sorry hahaha).

First one is a Minions cheesy corn snack. The package is just too cute, and the snacks try to copy the Minions shape. They come with a Minions tattoo inside (it is a surprise gift, so I dont know if it is always a tattoo).

The snacks taste so good, but I do think they are too similar to other cheesy snacks. There cant be so different ones from anothers as they are all made with corn and cheese flavour, so you know, it is a common flavour, but a really good one.
