The snacks in this month’s box seemed larger than normal. It’s usually a larger number of smaller snacks, but this month seemed to be fewer, but larger snacks.
The January 2016 bocandy included the following items:
~Mypa Peanut Bar (Bulgaria): This is delicious. It’s a chocolate wafer peanut bar. Sort of like a snickers, but with wafers. They should sell these in the States!
~Thomas Pocky Sticks (Japan): From the sounds of the information card a variety of different characters / brands were sent out, but we were lucky enough to get Thomas! My 3 year-old was thrilled. If it’s Thomas he loves it.
~Chocolate Marzipan (Mexico): This “mazapan covered with chocolate is a delicious peanut confection, a round chewy candy made of crushed peanuts covered and enriched with the energy and flavor of chocolate”. It sounds pretty good (I mean peanuts and chocolate), but I am not crazy about marzipan.
~Japanese Wand Gum: I thought this was a straw because it’s in a drink on the package, but it’s not. It’s just a giant stick of lemon soda flavored gum. It’s interesting. I don’t like gum (I know that’s kind of weird), but it was fun to try.
~Vanilla Cake (Russia): This is described as “kind of like a twinkie, but better”. I’m not sure about that and I don’t even enjoy twinkies that much. This is also coated in chocolate which makes it much different as well.
~Honey Linzer (all over Eastern Europe and Asian Subcontinent): I keep expecting this to taste like caramel, but it’s honey. It’s not the best looking snack and has kind of a weird texture (it’s spongy), but it’s okay.
