Toppo – Tiramisu
It’s been a while since I’ve found a new Toppo flavour to try. They don’t exactly crank out a new flavour too often, so it’s not hard to keep up with them. It’s why this…

Meiji – Rum & Raisin Chocolate
When I saw these, I confused them at first with the similar looking product line of Lotte which combines fruits with liquors. They have a similar look and are going for the same premium feel…
