I had no clue what kind of candies this box would bring me. I knew what area they would be from, but since I have never traveled there or gotten this box before I really didn’t know what they would be like.
Happily Candy Adriatico includes an information card with product details. The January 2015 theme was “Winter Time” and included the following items:
~Mini Domacica (Croatia): Without even tasting them, I can tell that these would be my favorite item from this box. Biscuits coasted in chocolate? Yes please!
~Fruit Planet Candies (Slovenia): These are very much an L item! He said they didn’t taste like gumdrops exactly, but he couldn’t really tell me what they did taste like either. He approves though.
~Fruit Planet Candies (Slovenia): Not a bad cereal bar, but I would rather have a Luna bar.
~BACI (Italy): This is a white chocolate truffle like candy with hazelnuts. Luckily (for me) I don’t love white chocolate or hazelnuts (I don’t hate them either though), so I wasn’t overly tempted by this.
~Gorenjka (Slovenia): I was this close into testing this one for myself until I realized that it had raisins in the chocolate. That would have been a surprise! It’s a thin chocolate bar with raisins and hazelnuts. I’ll see what my brother thinks of this one.
I didn’t do a cost breakdown on this box (it’s too difficult with the foreign candy subscriptions), but it works out to just over $5 an item. It seemed a little high to me, but them again I don’t really have anything to compare it to and I am not sure where you could get these candies around here either!
