Sun Chips – Garden Salsa

Sun Chips – Garden Salsa

Garden salsa is a somewhat new flavour. My term of new here is somewhat loose because beyond the original flavours of french onion and harvest cheddar, everything is new to me. This particular flavour is…

Gouyaer – Twisted Snack Grilled Steak Flavour

Gouyaer – Twisted Snack Grilled Steak Flavour

This is a Chinese brand which I truthfully have no prior experience with. But the shape of the snack itself looked promising, so I had to try it. I mean, how often do you see…

Hi-Chew – Mystery Transformation Mix

Hi-Chew – Mystery Transformation Mix

Another year, another strange gimmick. I say that, but I’m also fully expecting this to simply be a rehash of something else they’ve done before, just with a new sticker slapped on it. Having said…

Milky Peko-Chan Candy – Sato Nishiki Cherry

Milky Peko-Chan Candy – Sato Nishiki Cherry

The Peko-Chan mascot strikes again…this time less fear and horror and more curiosity and bewilderment. I’ve tried their chewy candies before and while Hi-Chew is still the best, these are serviceable and shareable in a…

Percy Pig – Phizzy Pigtails

Percy Pig – Phizzy Pigtails

I went down the Percy Pig rabbit hole a few years back, and to my shock and horror, it was the same as Fred Ferkel. I started my Katjes journey with Fred, so to find…

Ritter Sport – Milk Chocolate with Caramelized Almonds

Ritter Sport – Milk Chocolate with Caramelized Almonds

Ritter Sport has historically done a great job with it’s nut related bars. This one seems promising for sure. I love caramelized or candied almonds, and I love chocolate. How could this go wrong? Sadly,…

Meiji – Almond Matcha

Meiji – Almond Matcha

I haven’t had Meiji chocolate products too much beyond the classic chocolate covered gummies. Maybe something about the packaging on the nuts felt too dated or old school that it never caught my eye. But…

The Natural Confectionery Co. – Fruit Salad

The Natural Confectionery Co. – Fruit Salad

During my travels to Asia, I came across a brand that looks very non-Asian and is definitely more of a European looking brand. As it turns out The Natural Confectionery Co. is an Australian brand…

Alter Eco – Raspberry Truffle Thins

Alter Eco – Raspberry Truffle Thins

I am back once again with yet another Alter Eco truffle thin bar. I think at this point it’s safe to say that this will be very hard to not like. Even if the flavour…
