Chocolates from Holland and Germany.

I am slowly receiving snacks from all around the world and today I wanted to review some international chocolates. Is there any country you would like i made a review from? Let me know in the coments.

To start with, I tasted those Stracciattella Pastilles from the brand Droste (Holland). I got them thanks to Peter, a swap partner on Facebook that collects stadium postcards.

The Pastilles come in a cardboard box, and inside there is a plastic package to protect them even more. The package is filled with little stracciatella chocolates and they are so soft and tasty. They are not the flavour of the stracciattella yogurts or ice-creams, but they taste good.

Will reserve some for my man who loves stracciatella flavour 😜

Now we travel from Holland to its neighbouring country Germany! To be exact we go to the Bavaria region 🙂 My dear penpal Janine, @milktealetters on Instagram, has sent me this cute Rilakuma plastic bag full of German chocolates!

This is Milky Way Crispy Rolls. It is the first time I taste it ever and I have to say that… THIS IS HEAVEN! Really, I am just in love with this, I already asked my penpl to send me more because it’s flavour is too much!!

They are crunchy wafer rolls covered with mil chocolate and filled with a tasty and soft mili cream! Just delicious!

Please if you have this in your country let me know and I will swap with you or buy you some, cause I really love them.

• Packaging Factor: 7
• Flavour Factor: 10!!!

  

Duplo is a chocolate bar with cookie or wafer (not sure what it is) inside. It is very crunchy but the chocolate has  too strong flavour for me. I liked it, but will be better if the flavour was softer.

The package came with an animal sticker as a gift.

• Packaging Factor: 6
• Flavour Factor: 7

This is the first time I taste this Kinder Country and gosh! It is so good! It is a mini Kinder chocolate bar filled with rice cereals! It is so yummy and tasty. Will try to find it here in Spain as we normally have Kinder products whereas they are from Germany.

• Packaging Factor: 8
• Flavour Factor: 9

Last but not least is this Kinder Riegel chocolate bar. I think it is the most commun Kinder product and we also have it here in Spain with the name of Kinder Chocolate.

I have always love this snack and my boyfriend knows it so he always buy me a box of these Kinder in my birthday, or when I came to visit him in Germany 😍

The flavour is a soft chocolate with milk inside and it is reaally awesome!

• Packaging Factor: 4
• Flavour Factor: 9

  

PS: Now that we talk about Kinder products I wanted to show you the surprise I made to my boyfriend once giving him this Kinder Chocolate box with his photo from when he was a kid and his names. I also made one for me and for my littke cousings. Isn’t it cute?

Chocolate bars and cakes from Spain

Hello! Today I want to review some Spanish chocolate bars and mini cakes for you!

Pinky’s is a small cake from the Spanish brand Dulcesol. It is cake filled with cream and covered with strawberry.

The flavour is so soft and tasty, I really love it, but I do like better the one called Pink Panther cake of the brand Bimbo. It is exactly the same, but it tastes better. I give to this Pinky’s a 9 and to Pink Panther one a 10.

I will probably show you the Pink Panther one in the future.

• Packaging Factor: 7
• Flavour Factor: 9

  

Chapelas is a cake filled with cream and covered with chocolate from the Spanish brand Dulcesol.

The flavour is soft and I like it very much. The chocolate tastes as real dark chocolate and the cake is too tender.

Whereas it is so good, I prefer the one called Phoskitos, that is the same cake but the «original» one.

My boyfriend is going to bring me similar cakes from Mexico, on as this one called Mamut and another same to this one but with jelly inside called Gansitos. Will review them with him when he arrives 🙂

• Packaging Factor: 6
• Flavour Factor: 8

Huesitos is a chocolate and wafer bar from the Spanish brand Valor.

As you may know, reality isnt always the same as the marketing photo of the product, you just have to compare the photo with the real wafer.

But anyway, the flavour is good although it is a little bit cloying. After eating this you dont want to eat any more sweets till some time has passed.

So the conclusion is that the flavour is good but cloying and the texture is a little bit tempering.

• Packaging Factor: 6
• Flavour Factor: 7

  

On the weekend I will review candy from Taiwan, and cartoon corn snacks from Spain. Hope you like it.

Fini candy

Today I was more into eating candy than snacks, so I tasted for the first time these two candies from the Spanish brand Fini.

First I tried the Fini Roller! It is a long candy roll with 4 different colours on it and lots of sugar! The package says Extra Sour, but in my opinion it is not that sour. I est the whole roll without closing an eye, so more sweet than sour. I liked it very much!! Will buy it again! 🙂

• Packaging Factor: 8
• Flavour Factor: 9

  
Secondly I tried the Sport Balls gum, from the Spanish brand Fini as well. They are tennis balls gums and when you first bite them you feel like a liquid inside of it. It is very tasty, and the first moments are like heaven, but then, after 2 minutes chewing it, the gum loses all its flavour and you have to throw it away. So after all these:

• Packaging Factor: 6
• Flavour Factor: 8

The Flavour Factor would be a 10 if the flavour lasted longer.

  
PS: Today I received my firsts candy and snacks from Taiwan thanks to @_smlee on Instagram! I will review them on the weekend.

Candy from Spain

Today i wanted to review Spanish candy, but as the ones i am reviewing come in little packages i will review several ones at the same post.

I have been eating these candy since i was a kid, and i really like them all!

To start with, Pikotas are lil strawberry candies with round shape. They are more hard in the outside and soft in the inside and they are pretty awesome! In the photo you can see the texture that is inside the candy and it looks really good (it tastes better). The only bad thing about them is that you finish eating it so fast, as they are one bite candy.

• Packaging Factor: 4
• Flavour Factor: 9

  

The next one is called Palotes. It is a stick of strawberry flavour. The texture is like a gum at first, but then you swallow it. It is too sticky that sometimes it gets glued to the molars, but the flavour is amazing!

• Packaging Factor: 5
• Flavour Factor: 9

  

The third one is called Mega fizzroll, and they are several pills of differnt flavours. It is like concentrated powder that when gets in contact with the saliva it starts to  disapear. They are not as fizzy as those candies that makes even bubbles in your mouth, but they are little bit fizzy.

• Packaging Factor: 4
• Flavour Factor: 8

  
And the last but not least is the Fresquitos product from the brand Fiesta.

It is a package filled of cherry powder and a cherry lollipop. It is not sour, maybe sometimes you dont feel the powder too sweet but it never gets to the category of sour. So the package is a lil bit confusing as the face the guy is making let you think it is going to be soooo sour. The lollipop has an amazing cherry flavour, I like it very much.

• Flavour Factor: 10

  

Hope you like the reviews and see you on Tuesday with a chocolate one!

Disney princesses cheesy corn snack!

Hi! Happy Saturday everybody! Yesterday i found a new candy shop near my house and I enter to see what they had. And great surprise, they had hundreds of different candy and snacks, spanish products i had never seen! And as you may imagine, i bought several things to review 🙂

Today i wanted to try for the first time this corn snack with cheese flavour. In the past, i tasted lots of snacks similar to this one, but you know, it has Disney princesses on the package and they are heart shapes, so it is long better than the ones i have tasted hahaha.

To be honest, the flavour is the same as other cheesy corn snacks, but i have to admit i like them a lot. The texture is perfect, crunchy and soft. They have heart shape which is a positive point and the packaging is just awesome.

It included a surprise gift that turned out being a princess ring (Cinderella to be precise). I will give the ring to the daughter of my Japanesse penpal, she is 3 years old and loves disney princesses too much! If i ever buy them again will let you know if the gift is always a ring or they haver different things.

The bag weights 28g and is gluten free.

• Packaging Factor: 10
• Flavour Factor: 8

I put some photos for you to see the snack and the gift.

Today the review will be about candy! 💗

Popcorns covered with chocolate and strawberry.

Hi! Today is Thursday, so it is review day!
I went buying some snacks for the next 3 reviews and today I was into the mood of tasting those you see in the photo.

They are two popcorn packages from the company Tosfrit from Spain. The special about these is that they are not normal popcorn, one is cover with strawberry and the other with chocolate and hazelnuts. Athey are calles Caprichocos and it is the first time I see them here.

The strawberry one is sooo good! I liked it very much! It is so soft and fresh and the flavour is amazing. Whereas the popcorn is not real popcorn like the ones you have at the cinema or make in the microwave. They are like corn snacks with yellow colour.

On the other hand, the chocolate one is not so good. It tastes good, but it is not too tasty. I have tried another brand of chocolate popcorns that are better (I will give you the brand in the future as I dont remember it now).

Each bag is 30g weight and they are gluten free.

So after all of these, I will make my scores:

• Packaging Factor: 7
• Flavour Factor: 6 (chocolate) and 8 (strawberry)

Updating the blog

Hello! Good morning (in Spain) to you all!

As you all know I have just started the blog and I wanted it to have several posts in only 2 days just because that makes you an idea of how the blog will be.

But from now on I want to organize myself and make a schedule. I dont want to post 4 reviews one day and then post anything untill next week. And i also dont want to get fat eating 100 snacks a day hahahaha.

So the new schedule will consist in posting one review each Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday, that is 4 reviews a week. I think it is a good quantity as I will start making the reviews of more quality.

Another thing is that my boyfriend is now in México on a trip, but he will return September 22th and guess what? He loooves food, candy and snacks, and he is as crazy as me to taste new flavours from all around the world. So at the end of this month I will write his opinion of the products as well as mine, so you can have not one but 2 reviews of each snack. I think it is a good idea because we all have different likes, so maybe I dont like it but he does, or all the way round.

So stayed tunned to the blog! I will start the schedule today and… It’s Thursday!! Review day. Will post it in the afternoon 🙂

Have a good day and see you!

PS: please if you do like some special snacks or you want me to review smth or just say hey i like your blog fell free to coment. I think coments are important in a blog to make it grow, so please if you like it help me! 🙂  ❤

Disneyland Paris candy metal box

Yay!! My mom’s boss has travelled recently to Disneyland Paris with her kids, and what do they bought me? Yes! An awesome Disney candy metal box with 3D effect.

I am just in love with the box (for sure i will keep it forever ❤ ❤ ), but we have to taste the candy as well.

The box cames with lots of candy individually packed. And once you pull apart the white plastic  cover, you find another silver paper cover, so yes, they are well protected.

The first I tried was a lemon flavour, and I tought all of them were lemon ones, but then I eat another and this time was pineapple, so I do think there are different fruit flavours.

The flavour of the candies are good, but they are that sucker candy texture that if it brokes it sometimes cuts your tongue or palate. So after all this…

• Packaging Factor: 10!!!! Really in love mood.
• Flavour Factor: 6

Do you like this cute 3D metal box?

Fritos – corn snack with BBQ flavour.

Fritos are a corn snack from the company Matutano, from Spain. They are strips made with corn and with salty and BBQ flavour, but it is not a stong flavour, actually it is really soft and nice.

They are gluten free, something very important these days due to all the celiac people and each bag weights 42g and has 229kcal.

They are very crunchy and addictive, once you taste one you need to eat the entire package, and that is exactly what happened to me.

The packaging design is quite simple, but the colours make you to think about BBQ sauce. I like Matutano’s logo a lot! It is quite funny 🙂 This company has lots of different snacks, and I am sure I will be reviewing some in the future.

• Packaging Factor: 5
• Flavour Factor: 8

I can’t wait to get some international snacks that are travelling to my home, and to be honest I am veryyy excited about trying japanesse candy! They are so strange to me, but at the same time really cute, and I am dying for trying new flavours!

Hope you like these reviews, and stayed tuned for upcoming international candy.

Monsters Gummies Boxes from Tiger

Hi! This is the review of this cute monster little boxes of gummies from the shop Tiger.

As always, I buy the Tiger shop products in Spain, but you shoud be able to find them in other Tiger shops from all over the world.

Let’s start with the blue one! That lil box is filled up with black licorice gummies. I do love black licorice! Some people can’t stand it but I do like it very much! But to be honest, this Tiger gummies were tooo strong flavour that I had to get it out of my mouth before finish it. I don’t like them at all, but lucky me, my mom loves them, so I don’t have to throw them.

The green box has what is called wine gummies, and they are 3 different colours and flavours. The red gummies are strawberry flavour, the orange ones are orange flavour and the green ones are kind of pineapple flavour. And these ones yes, are extremlyyy yummyyy! I really love them! They are very soft and with gum texture.

Each box is 23g weight and they don’t have any fat.

• Package Factor: 9
• Flavour Factor: 3 (black licorice – blue box) and 9 (fruits flavours – green box)

PS: The boxes have much more gummies that the ones are shown in the photo, but I only took a little amount.
