MunchPak, who kindly sent me this package to review, is a monthly subscription service and ecommerce website that aims to introduce the best, new, and popular snacks from all over the world to the average Joe. MunchPak now offers three sizes, the MunchPak Mini ($7.95), the Original MunchPak ($13.95) and the Family MunchPak ($24.95).  Shipping and handling is additional and is calculated based on the size of your Pak.
MunchPak ships via FedEx Smart Post and took about a week to arrive. I received the Original MunchPak for review, which includes at least two pounds of snacks!
The first look had me wanting to see more!! Â MunchPak doesn’t include an information card because every Pak isn’t exactly the same. Â You may get some different items than someone else who ordered! Â Here is what mine included this month:
~Laffy Taffy: This was gone before I could even tell B it had arrived. I’d say he liked it. Â He didn’t even share it with L!
~Fruit Pastilles: We haven’t gotten to these yet, but if L knew we had them I know he’d want to crack into them
~KEX Choklad: Â I think they sell these at IKEA? Â Either way, they are good. Â They are chocolate covered waffle crisps. Â What could be bad about that?
~Kinder Bueno: I love Kinder chocolates and still wish we had Kinder eggs here (I will not eat that toy instead, I swear). Â These were good and I’d buy them again!
~Double Barrel Cooked Salami Sticks: B ate these up very quickly and never said a word about them. Â If they were bad, I would have heard.
~Nekit Cookies – Peanut Butter: Nothing really to report here. You know what peanut butter on crackers tastes like. Â And if not, it’s good.
~Cadbury Fudge: Yum! Â Why have I never seen this before? Â It’s a chocolate bar covered in fudge. Â Genius.
~Hi-Chew: We got the cherry flavor of these last month and L loved them! Â I actually think the mango is even better!
~Cow Tales: B was surprised I hadn’t heard of these before, but they were totally new to me. Â They are like chewy, but with a caramel filling. Â I don’t know how to describe it. Â L wasn’t a fan, I thought it was okay and B likes them.
~Cadbury Curly Wurly: I mentioned it last month, but I love these! So yummy. Â I was quite pleased to see this one again this month!
~Cadbury Wispa: It’s kind of like the inside of a whopper, but not really. Â I always like Cadbury stuff from other countries too.
~Quaker Chewy Granola Bar: A school snack for L!
~Bugles: I don’t think L has ever had Bugles before! He was like, so they are little cones? Pretty much!
~Cheez-It: I was going to save these for a snack for L, but WB got to them first. He quite enjoyed them!
~Yan Yan Vanilla Cream Dip: Love these! Â We never seen to pick up the vanilla ones (we usually get the chocolate or strawberry), so this is a nice change of pace.
~Goo Goo Clusters: Haven’t tried this one yet. Â It’ll happen soon though. Â I have been eyeing in the pantry for a few days now.
~Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons: OMG these are awesome! Â Does anyone know if they sell these in the States? Â So good. Â Just little buttons of chocolate. Â Perfect.
~El Sabroso Pork Rinds: I don’t like pork rinds, but B does. Â He cracked into these yesterday while watching “Bad Grandpa”. Â I can’t even believe I just admitted that I watched that.
~Salsitas Spicy Salsa Tortilla Rounds: I don’t know who liked these better? Â WB or I? LOL! Â I need to find more that’s for sure!

That’s a difficult question. I don’t think I’ve ever had a snack that’s just available where I live! I live in Illinois, so some form of corn??
This is such an awesome box. I’ve been wanting to try it, but I know my diet would be out the window. It may be worth it though 🙂
I don’t think there is a special snack specific to orlando , if there is I don’t know about it lol
Lala’s Lemonade in Austin. Mmm.
Local snack? Hmmmm…We have lots of wine. Does that count? 😉
Hebert Candy, so good!
Tastykakes 😉
Locally made King Cake!
This looks like a fun box to try! ???
Not sure there is one here…crawfish are always around, but I don’t think that’s just a Texas thing 🙂 When I lived in Wisconsin there were a lot 🙂
OH MY GOSH they gave you English stuff!!!! The fruit pastilles, the Wipsa (best chocolate bar EVER!!!) the Curly Wurly.. I grew up on these things and i get English sweets cravings SOOOO much! At my local Publix, they have some English foods in the Ethnic Aisle (gotta love that! We’re ethnic!) And I take my boys to buy English chocolate for a treat sometimes. Oh and the fudge!!! I grew up on those “a finger of fudge is just enough to give your kids a treat…” look up the commercial on Youtube 🙂
LOVE THIS BOX!!!
I’m from the UK but moved to the US 5 years ago, if you have a publix nearby you can find some british chocolate like buttons, whispa etc
Andy Capps hot fries aren’t “local only” but hard to find and I’m addicted.
Jones Potato Chips. Hands down, so good. I am originally from around Mansfield, OH, which is where they are manufactured. I live in Columbus now, and you can only find them in a couple of places. I send them in care packages to all of my out of state and military friends!
They sell Salsitas at big lots! Get them all the time. A HUGE bag for like 2 bucks. Good deal.
Ahhh, they do? I need to go a Big Lots around here!
I’m not sold on this box yet. There are a lot of things that are not unusual and that I don’t like it seems
Bunnie Cakes cupcakes in Miami — deeeelicious!
Cheezies! They are amazing!
Not sure that these are local to just Saint Louis anymore, but you gotta love some Toasted Ravoli and a piece of Gooey Butter Cake 🙂
We have a lot of Asian snacks and spicy Mexican candies that I enjoy.
Derby pie is my favorite local snack
Tastykakes! Best thing about New Jersey!
salt potatoes!! I thought everyone had them, but they don’t?
Pepperoni rolls
Cora Lee Candy
Robert’s Relish Barn Salsa! We discovered it during our Texas Icepocalypse in early December. So good!
Chocolate truffles, mint chocolate chip ice cream, and Carmel with chocolate drizzled on popcorn!
If you ever want to buy any of the food, check Amazon first!! I searched the Dairymilk buttons — and they had a big bag for like $10! I’m sure they would have other sizes, too. But they are always my first go-to for everything!
As for local “snacks” in Maine it was always maple sugar candy or needhams! Man I miss some good needhams! {Sort of like a chocolate dipped coconut patty}. Not really sure about North Carolina. I guess a lot of people around here drop boiled peanuts into their Coca Cola? Supposedly its pretty good …
Ohhh I will do that! Thank you! They are so good!
Can’t think of anything local that you couldn’t get elsewhere, but I do love the salt water taffy they sell on the boardwalk! Does that count? 🙂
Hmmm, I guess a local snack would be passionfruit flavored caramels with almond slivers. 😀
Pepperoni rolls
I have this thing for Cherry Bings that i have only been able to get when i go home to Iowa- I live in FL.. anyone live in Iowa.. i am so jonesing for BINGS!!! I miss alot of the things from home, kids , grandkids, family, but truthfully.. I don;t miss the snow…
Krista…
oh dear lord, you haven’t had a goo-goo cluster? what’s next, a moon pie? love zapp’s, from new orleans, but generally available in the south. yum. (they are kettle chips)
I actually have had a Moon Pie. LOL!
Oh WOW hmm what is a local snack only available here? I have no idea. LOL Can I say bojangles? They don’t go all the way up to you. Or maybe Cheerwine or SunDrop. Well for Sundrop it would be more appropriate to say Cherry Lemon Sundrop. Talk about southern. 😉
I don’t think I know what any of that is???
Bojangles is a chicken place. Like Chik Fila but spicier http://www.bojangles.com/ if you come down this way you need to try it.
Cheerwine is a Cherry Soda flavor kindof like Dr Pepper but more cherry less soday. LOL http://www.cheerwine.com/ WOW and looking up the link for you I just saw I can get it delivered in bottles. That would be AWESOME.
Sundrop is like a mountain dew drink and loca restaurants here make it with some cherry syrup or cherry Fanta mixed in so you get Cherry Lemon Sundrop. http://www.sundropbottling.com/
I told you southern goodies. Oh and another thing I have trouble getting up north is Dr Pepper. No Rootbeer is not the same as Dr Pepper and that seems to be what alot of places tell me.
I’m from Ireland and always seem to load my case with sweets for the return trip to the states, LOL. These aren’t local to the U.S., but I REALLY miss King’s Crisps from back home. They easily beat Lays and Ruffles any day of the week.
As for the Buttons and Bueno (my fav!) they sell those in Cost Plus World Market, if you have one near you. 🙂
Pearson’s Nut Goodies!
I can’t think of any snack just available by me but a specialty snack is cheese curds.
Hoffman Hotdogs and Salt Potatoes are my favorites!
I do not think that there really is something that I like that is made just in this area.
Cracker Jacks c:
Buns from Maxim’s!
Hoagieville cheese fries, available only in Missoula, MT.
We call the Salsitas chips “Crack Chips” at work because they are so addicting- lol!
Beignets!!
I don’t know that South Carolina really has a specific one, I guess since Im not too far from Myrtle Beach I would say salt water taffy?
I caved and ordered a box……YUM!
I’m really not sure what we have here that isn’t really anywhere else. I’m pretty sure cheese curds are a Wisconsin thing though. We also have cow tales here too!
I want the Bueno.. I love them.
I’ll be back home in Ireland in April and will overdose on them..
nom nom nom
Lobster rolls and baked beans..mhm, mhm.
Tastycakes! Tastyclair pie is the best!
I’m not much of a soda drinker, but here they sell Barq’s red creme soda and it’s so good! I haven’t been able to find it anywhere else, but that could have changed.
The hands down best chocolates ever are Esther Price candies, made in Dayton, OH where I grew up. They are awesome. They sell them at most Kroger stores, I think.
I don’t have a favorite snack that’s only available locally, but when I’m home with my family in Tucson there’s a local chain called Eegee’s which sells their own slushies made with real fruit. They are oh so incredible in the Arizona heat.
As far as Cadbury’s buttons, there are some U.S. based British shops that sell them online. I usually place an order for the holidays to get British treats for my loved one (and myself!) My favorite this year was the Cadbury’s chocolate frog with pop rocks. Cadbury’s usually sells tins and stockings full of mixes of their chocolate bars (sometimes in mini sizes!)
Thank you! I am going to check that out!
Oooh…do local donuts count? If so, Gourdoughs. So amazing. If you’re ever in Austin, you have to go – they have the craziest flavors. (Round Rock Donuts is good for regular donuts, too.)
Bugles were my FAVORITE chip as a kid. It amused me to eat dips with them…I think I thought of them like savory mini ice cream cones. (Yeah…I was kind of weird. Well, I still am really…)
Big bob Gibson barbecue pork baked potatoes!! Mmmm…okay…its a meal, but I want it for a snack!
I love the salt water taffy that’s available here in Florida….especially the ones from Key West.
I actually just saw the CurlyWurlys at the store near my house that seems to have tons of ethnic foods. I think they import a lot of stuff. I love looking through their candy isle! If you can’t find them, I can pick some up and mail them to you! They probably have the buttons too, I’d just have to go look.
not sure if they are only local, but zapps voodoo chips in new orleans.
We love Buckeyes that are classic to Columbus, Ohio (although I’m sure they are sold elsewhere)!
I don’t think there is anything local that you can’t get anywhere else.
Who could say no to a box full of snacks? Some great new ones I’ve never heard of and some old stand by favorites.
beijos,
Tiffany
Planning to go back to UK in May – June for a visit , I’ll get some Cadbury’s chocolates for you and send them.
Yes please!!!!!!
I dont think I have anything exclusive to where I live. Pretty sad. Well, we have those famous sliders – White Manna. It’s good but not something that people would crave for.
I LOVE CADBURY everything. The buttons are my favorite. I can usually find them at international food shops. If you have a World Market in your area I think they might sell them there.
Barrel O Fun Chips
I love Cadbury candy! and around here maybe Turkey Creek pork skins so good.
Yum!
Coming from the central coast in California, I live close to Castroville which is famous for their artichokes. I know you can get artichokes anywhere, but it’s nice to know where the artichokes are coming from and they are so close to home!
Cactus candy!
I think bagels. I know bagels are ubiquitous, but not NYC bagels. Mmm cinnamon raisin.
Grippo’s potato chips YUM
I really don’t know what is the candy for texas!!! but i do buy pork rinds a lot
Not necessarily a snack but Foxon Park soda is a locally made soda that I adore. They have one flavor called Gassosa that is like Sprite but a million times better! http://www.foxonpark.com/
Oh, that sounds great!
And btw – you can order Cadbury Buttons on Amazon!!! I am obsessed with British Cadbury chocolate – it is way better than the American versions. Have you ever tried a Twirl? That is my fave – it is like a Flake, but wrapped in chocolate so it’s less messy.
I love me some european snack packs!
And I live in Sacramento, California….I can’t think of any local specific snacks. Although, we are home of Blue Diamond, King of almonds 🙂
Peanut chews 🙂 Philly favorite
Favorite local snack is…black and white cookies. Everyone has them now, but I think the local delis have the best ones.
It used to be Tastykakes when I was in to sweet snack foods. I also like Pub Fries which are hard to find but I’m not sure if they are local to where I live.
Pierogies!
It’s not a snack really but Taylor Ham is really a NJ thing and it’s soooooo good!
Conns potato chips.
Theres a local picklery(?) that makes horseradish and jalepeno pickles and they are fantastic!
I want a munch pak. Asking my mom to get a subscription so i can eat all the snacks.
And I love this little ice cream store called red’s they these little ice cream sandwiches but the coating is different. It’s hard to explain but it’s really good.
Frankenmuth Fudge in MI has a Orange Decadence fudge that is amazing!
Definitely not the healthiest box, but let’s be real…I’d munch every single thing in there!
It’s not really a snack, but I love fry sauce made in Heber City! Yum!
Fat witch brownies
How much do you/anyone else pay for shipping? I have to pay 7.25, and it’s the original one. Quite expensive shipping if you ask me.
I think it’s about the same to MI.
