Hi everyone! I'm super behind on all my reviews at the moment >___<" I had Odyssey of the Mind Regionals last Saturday, so my team was cramming like crazy the last two weeks.... We're going to States though, so I'm excited! adlfkjlksd anyway, I'm doing my best to catch up on all my work that I've been neglecting;; I got three packages in the last 2 days................... Anyways, onto my thoughts on Bocandy!
Basically Bocandy is an international candy subscription box; which is different from the traditional "Japanese" snack boxes that I've been getting. It comes in two different sizes: half and full. There's also Bojerky, in which they send you ~*~*indie jerky~**~ LOLOL. I got this box free in exchange for a review, but I promise I'll be honest :~)
Half Size: 3 or 4 candies and snacks each month from around the world.
- $8.50 per month
- $25 per 3 months
- $49 per 6 months
- $97 per 12 months
Full Size: 6-9 candies each month from around the world.
- $15 per month
- $43.99 per 3 months
- $87.59 per 6 months
- $175 per 12 months
It came packaged carefully and nicely! I took a pic with my cap because the aesthetic matched *sparkly emoji*
Overview of everything!
KEX Choklad - Sweden
A Kex bar is one of the finest bars from Sweden. It is made by Cloetta, the largest chocolate producer in Sweden. The candy bar is light and sweet, with wafers and a slight hint of honey nestled in between them. Kex kind of reminds of American Kit-Kats, but the chocolate is much tastier.
My friends stole most of these LOL ;___; everyone really liked them. nice and tasty chocolate covered wafers. They did remind me of Nestlé's Kit-Kats, but less blatantly milk chocolate sweet.
Toffi Kubanka - Poland
These toffees are so rich, I love them! When you look at them, they might seem a little inconspicuous, but do you know what "toffi Kubanka" means in Polish? It translates to Cuban Toffee, which is pretty cool, if you ask me. So, this month, not only did you get Polish toffee, you got Polish toffee influenced by Cuban confectionary culture! I always like to write about a few of the interesting facts about each candy and that definitely caught my eye.
Ah I'm not a huge fan of toffees in the first place, but these were alright IMO. A bit too chewy and toffee-ish for me. Have any of you read The Magician's Nephew? I immediately think of the toffee tree that they grew, hehe.
Pikolo Fruit Drops - Poland
Who knew Poland would have such good fruit candy? I absolutely love these- they're the kind of candy that I would stuff my pockets full before I leave work every day. To me, it's really amazing how they can fit so much flavor in such a tiny candy. What's really interesting about these candies, though, is the brand name. Mieszko produces them, which might seem like just another Polish name to you, but really is named after Mieszko I of Poland, a King around 1000 A.D. who drastically increased the land size of Poland. You learn something new everyday, huh?
These were super tasty! I'm glad there were so many of these ;u; I ate them all quickly and shared a bunch as well. There were lemon, orange, raspberry, and apple!
Coris Whistle Candy - Japan
Have you ever eaten an instrument? Nows your chance! Coris has made a lifesaver shaped candy that doubles as possibly the world most annoying whistle. You use it by putting it in your mouth with the blowhole positioned in between your lips and breathing air through it. Once you hear the shrill, high-pitched squeal, you know you're doing it right. If you have children (or maybe an immature significant other) I apologize in advance for including these, however tasty they may be :)
These were grape flavored! I enjoyed annoying my friends with these LOL. It really is possibly the world's most annoying whistle. They tasted good and would slowly break apart in your mouth. I also bribed this one kid to go to OM instead of Debate using these. I mean, he probably was gonna coming anyway, but let me have my moment! There was also a little mini plastic top toy in the box!
7 Days Croissant - Bulgaria
Nutella is a huge aspect of European life- and the hazelnut spread is highlighted in this HUGE treat. The flaky croissant really goes well with the hazelnut interior. Every month, I make sure the people at the post office get a few boxes for helping us ship from our warehouse and they all agreed, this was their favorite!
I liked this croissant ! I think it would've tasted better if I toasted it, but I kind of scarfed it down LOL. I don't really think it was anything super special, but it was good.
Goralki Strawberry Bar - Poland
Another wafer bar, this one from Poland. I really, really loved this candy bar and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a light treat, but also has a sweet tooth. The outside of the bar is lined with chocolate and that really helps to keep it from crumbling. We've recently formed a new relationship with a Polish importer so expect more Polish treats :)
This was a strawberry filling wafer bar! I've been spoiled by the super sweet Asian food market chocolate mini wafers but this was a nice change.
I think the portion sizes for Bocandy are really nice! I'm thinking of purchasing this in the future as well. Thank you to Bocandy and everyone who read this~
