Universal Yums!, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a monthly subscription box featuring international snacks. Each month you will receive a selection of snacks from a different country delivered right to your door. They offer a “Yum Box” for $13/month which includes 6 or more snacks every month and a “Yum Yum Box” for $25/month which includes 13 or more snacks every month.. I received the Yum Yum Box to review.
Universal Yums! ships via USPS Priority Mail. Their first box won’t ship until 12/1, but this the box you’ll receive if you subscribed.
It took me a second to realize that the tissue paper matched the theme this month, but once I did I thought it was very creative!
The first Universal Yums! snack destination was Germany and included the following items:
~Monster Munch Cheese: I would describe these as thin, ghost shaped cheese puffs. Except they are better. We all loved these. I need to find them locally!
~Haribo Gold Bears: Does anyone not love gummy bears? We are all big fans here and will be fighting over these.
~Kinder Happy Hippo Hazelnut: We actually have these at our local gourmet grocery store and have gotten them a few times. They aren’t the best Kinder chocolate out there, but they are one of the cutest!
~Dr. Quendts Dinkelchen: I quickly glanced at the package and thought these were chocolate cover raisins. Turns out they are chocolate covered A’s. They remind me of a cereal covered in chocolate. Not a bad thing at all.
~Naturals Paprika Chips: I don’t like these quite as much as I liked the cheddar ghosts, but they are good.
~Hitschler Softi Kaubonbon: The best way to describe these would be a thinner (better) version of Laughy Taffy. The packages were kind of hard to get open, but that’s kind of to be expected with candy like this.
~Ritter Sport: I think we have these here as well. I haven’t tried them before this arrived though and I am a fan.
~Curly Peanuts: I am cracking up because B saw these and was like no, I am not having those again. I don’t remember them at all, but he clearly did. I tried them and didn’t think they were fantastic or anything, but I didn’t think they were awful.
~Schluckwerder Marzipan: This is marzipan covered with chocolate. I haven’t gotten a chance to try it yet, but I will. I am really amazed by the things that people can sculpt with marzipan. Have you ever seen marzipan babies? Wow. Just wow.
~Manner Lemon Wafers: Loved these! I love all lemon cookies so suspected I would enjoy these as well. They were more tart than other lemon wafers I have tried, but I thought it made them better.
~Leibniz Pick Up!: These appeared in another snack box a while back and I loved them. They are chocolate filled biscuits and are amazing.
~Saltletts Classic: I thought these tasted like regular pretzel sticks, but B thought they were “lighter and more buttery” than other pretzel sticks. Either way, they were good!
I didn’t do a cost breakdown on the Universal Yums! box, but I thought it was a very fun box to get and can’t wait to see what other countries they decide to feature. Like I mentioned, if you subscribe by 12/1 you will receive this box and for a limited time they are offering their Yum Box for only $10 (reg. $13) and their Yum Yum Box for only $20 (reg.$25)! They have also offered to let me give one away, which you can enter right here! Best of luck!
I went to Brazil a few years ago and would love a Brazil themed box as a “throwback” of my trip! They have all kinds of delicious treats!
Hmmm…we think you’re in luck with Brazil if you subscribe in the future 🙂
Wow these things all look good! I love love love Ritter bars. I have a hard time finding them beside the marzipan and biscuit varieties here in Portland Maine, but last year my dad gave me like 15 different kinds for Christmas. They’re amazing!
Agreed! Ritter Sport is amazing – our favorite is the Butter Biscuit! So many different varieties.
England! They have some really amazing candy. 😀
Yes they do! Nothing beats a Cadbury bar straight from England.
nope but that seems like quite an interesting flavor
I love German candy. I would like to try one from Japan
Glad you like German candy! We’ll definitely be “visiting” Japan with Universal Yums in the future.
japan they have very unique snack
They sure do! Have you ever tried their Wasabi Kit-Kats? WOW!
Looks like one of my suit cases from my recent trip to Germany! I love the Ritter Sport chocolates, but they’re like $3-5+ for one tiny bar here. In Germany you can get them for under a euro. So of course I did! And I got some Haribo from my boyfriend’s uncle.. I prefer the Baeren Treff gummies though and got a few lbs of them from their store in Heidelberg. I don’t really like the chocolate Kinder uses, but I did buy a bunch of Kinder Eggs for my nieces (and my boyfriend). A lot of the Kinder candies are sold at Cost Plus World Market though.
🙂 We’re glad it looks like one of your suitcases. We’re impressed you snagged a few Kinder Eggs!
Are you going to be using that Gleam interface nowadays? It won’t give you credit for liking you on Facebook unless a person shares their friends list, which I don’t feel right doing. Oh well.
This box does look good. It would be fun to experience more candy from around the world. I really love those hippos. 🙂
No, I am still a Rafflecopter girl. Universal Yums set this one up.
The Kinder Happy Hippos are delicious! It’s so hard for us not to eat the inventory 🙂
Sadly they don’t ship to Alaska or Hawaii.
;(
We’re working on it! Hopefully in the coming months!
I would like to try snacks from Switzerland, especially if they involve Swiss chocolate!!
Yes! Swiss chocolate is the best. And we are chocolate fanatics!
I would love a box from Switzerland
Stay tuned! We’ll be bring Universal Yums back to Europe eventually!
I am obsessed with Haribo and Werther’s caramels so I would love a German box!!!
Yum! We love Haribo and Werther’s as well. Have you every tried Riesen caramels? Yum! Thank goodness you can find them here in the US.
Because I am constantly homesick I want snacks from Germany and Japan because their candy just sounds awesome.
Glad to hear these snacks remind you of home!

Italy!
I liked the snacks in this box, so I went with Germany.
i would love to go to Germany.. my nephew went and he had beautiful things.
I stated Turkey as my first choice in the widget, because I’d love to see what interesting snacks come from a region that bridges Europe and Asia, but I had a hard time picking just one. Immediately several top country choices sprung to mind. I’d love to try boxes for Brazil, Vietnam, Guam, Sweden, South Africa, England, Australia, South Korea, the Philippines, just about anywhere really.
The UK or Australia. I love English type foods.
We lived in Germany for 2 years. loved the different snacks for there
