Candy German
Cost: ~$40US
Ships To: International.
Candy German, who kindly sent me this box to review, sends boxes filled up with genuine German candies to subscribers around the world. Monthly boxes contain high quality, hand-picked German candies, such as chocolate, wine gums, bonbons, cookies, gingerbread, licorice, marzipan and more.
Candy German ships directly from Germany and took about a week to arrive.
Ohh, I loved the first look! It was packed full of goodies I had never seen before and was so excited to try. The box didn’t include an information card, but I am hoping that it eventually does so I can get some more details about the candies without having to google. Hopefully I got the names right, but here is what the June 2014 German Candy box included:
~Hitschler Brause Flummis: These taste like, hmm, foam wafers with a sort of sweet, sort of sour powder on the inside. It reminds me of ground up smarties, but sour. Not too sour, but I don’t love the texture combination of here. L does though.
~Haribo Pasta Flagga: I didn’t want to eat these little German flags until after the World Cup game, but now that the US advanced I feel like I can enjoy them without a problem. I actually liked these and thought L would love them too, but he wasn’t a fan at all.
~Koala Milch: I didn’t know that milch translated into milk, so when I tried these I was expecting them to have a vanilla filling. They don’t! They aren’t bad, but they aren’t as amazing as the chocolate ones either.
~Kinder Happy Hippo: We can actually get these there in the states. A store near me sells them and they are a fun treat for the boys.
~Fritt Vitamin C: I haven’t tried these yet, but I guess they are fruit strips with Vitamin C? They don’t sound like my thing, so I have kind of been saving them for B.
~Prinzen Rolle Minis: Delicious. Cookies with chocolate filling? Yes, I like that! I would for sure pick these up if I ever saw them again. After I tried the first cookie I was really happy that there were two more packs.
~nimm Lolly 2: I threw these in my purse in case of an emergency when we are out and about. Suckers are a huge treat and the boys both love them.
~Leibniz Pick Up! Choco & Milk: I love that, instead of cookies, these are called biscuits. And they are delicious. I don’t even know what else to say. It’s a chocolate filling, some sort of milk filling and the actual biscuit. So good.
I didn’t do a cost breakdown on this box because it would have been too hard with online prices, shipping costs, etc. But the box is about $40 USD/month, so that breaks down about $5 per type of snack this month. I don’t think that is too bad considering that you can’t get them all in the States and if you do, you’ll be paying for shipping.

I was born in Germany and I have to stop myself from buying Liebniz all the time. It’s my childhood cookie!!!
Kids are funny. They like all sorts of weird candy.
How long did you live there?
until i was 3 and a half or so!
Yummy. It’s interesting to read about snacks from other countries. I think the Leibinz choco and milk biscuits sounds the best.
They were really good! I do love trying snacks from other countries.
OMG I’m beyond jealous, I may have to add this to my wish list..
As a european, we called the wafer candy “Flying Saucers”. Oh the memories.
I love Kinder Chocolate but it’s hard to find in Iowa, so I buy it whenever I find it.
And the biscuits (aka cookies). I want!! I love them. Every so often Aldi wil have some similar cookies and I swear I buy out my local branches to stock up.
I feel so many fancier saying I am having a biscuit!
Let the Flummis melt in your mouth. I brought some home and my mom taught me that. Apparently there used to be a candy here in the us similar and the texture is better if you let them melt instead of chewing.
I will try that! Thanks!
