More Foreign Treats!

Hey everyone!

So I have some more foreign goodies that I would like to let you know about! Again I found these in my local Walmart so if you are wanting to get your hands on these products I'm sure that you will be able to find them. 

Asia:

This is meiji's Hello Panda and not only is it really yummy it is super cute! Each little cookie has it's own cute panda design which does make it hard to eat because it is too cute but so worth it. On the outside is a cookie shell and the inside is filled with this great chocolate filling. Overall I will definitely be buying this again because it was just a great little treat to have! 

Now when I got this I didn't know if I would like this or not because I'm not usually a fan of Pistachio's. However Britannia's Pistachio and Almond Cookies have changed my mind about pistachios. When I bought these I didn't realize that they had pistachio's in them, I was too distracted by my love of almonds to notice that it contained pistachios as well. All in all these were pretty good! They aren't at the top of my repurchase list but I won't rule them out.

Germany:

Now this was something that I also was not completely sure I would like because I am not a big fan of wafer cookies. These are Gut and Gunstig's Mignon Waffeln and I ended up really liking them! These were smaller wafers that were coated in chocolate so of course I would like them, how could I not? These have a nice hazelnut taste to them and you can use these as your moderation chocolate because they are pretty rich tasting so I am only able to have a few at a time. 

Anyways, that is it for today! I'm sorry that this is late but I am just getting back into a school and woking schedule so balancing things is going to be a bit rocky this month, but I promise to do my best! 

Take care! xxx 

A Taste of Foreign Treats!

Hey everyone! 

So this week I thought I might change it up a bit and do something a bit different! I decided to go out and get some treats from other countries that I haven't tried before and let you know what I thought of them. I went to Walmart to get these so that of you are interested in trying anything I talk about, you can most likely purchase it. I'm doing this in two parts; today I am talking about treats from Italy and England!  

Italy:

So I picked up a package of Mix Max which is made by Balconi. I really liked these ones, the package came with 10 and each one is individually wrapped. The Mix Max is basically a small vanilla cake with chocolate icing in the middle and chocolate coating the outside of the cake. It is a really lite cake but very yummy! This would be something that I would definitely get again!

These are Gioia Savoiardi Biscuits or Ladyfingers as most North Americans know them. These were pretty good, I have never had them before but I have heard of them before. I only had them plain but I'm sure that it i had them with some type of dip or Nutella it would be really tastey. I'm going to try different things with them but they did taste alright when eaten plain.

England:

This has to be what heaven tastes like. It is not a complicated chocolate but it is SO good! The Flake bar from Cadbury is basically chocolate that has been formed by making individual thin layers and I don't know why, but it is delicious! It is just plain milk chocolate but it just tastes so good!

Now this one had to be my absolute favourite thing that I tried. My favourite chocolate bar had been a Mars Bar for a very long time, but I think it has been replaced by this amazing creation. This is also by Cadbury and it is their Double Decker bar and it is amazing! it it has layer of nougat and a layer of  some type of cookie and covered in chocolate. I don't know how I have survived this long without this candy bar in my life. 

Next week I will be posting the second part to this and it will contain treats from Germany and Asia. If you have any other suggestions of foods I should try please let me know and I will try to find them!

Take care! xxx

New Flavors

Hey everyone!

So I went home this weekend which was really nice since it’ll be the last time I make it home before my finals are over. I got to spend time with my mom, my siblings, and my kitties which I always miss when I’m away at school. Anyway, while I was at home I was told by my mom that there was these two new chocolate bars from Cadbury that were out that sounded absolutely delicious! Cadbury has come out with a Caramel Popcorn and a Cookie Dough chocolate bar which I think is absolutely genius of them. So we didn't know if they were going to be sold in Canada because usually we don’t get the fun flavors or food as much as the United States does, which sucks.

Anyhow we went out shopping on Saturday and when to Target to pick up something’s and decided to check if they had the chocolate bars. THEY DID! At first we only found the Caramel Popcorn bar in one of the side stands but we went to their candy aisle and found the Cookie Dough one too!

We went home broke up the bars to share and delved into Cadbury’s wonderful creations. Now both my mom and I thought that we would have liked the Cookie Dough one better than the Caramel Popcorn, but we were definitely mistaken. The Caramel Popcorn bar had fair sized bits of popcorn that went really well with the Cadbury chocolate, it was amazing! The Cookie Dough bar was also good but the chunks of cookie dough weren't big enough or their just wasn't as much so It was mostly just the chocolate that you could taste, it was very hard to tell that there was cookie dough in the bar. Over all I would have to say they were both pretty good, but I would only buy the Caramel Popcorn bar again.

This is what they look like if anyone wants to know what to look for. :)

If you've tried them let me know what you thought of them or if you are thinking about trying them! I’m very excited to see what other kind of crazy combinations Cadbury or other candy bar companies can come up with next!
