Hi guys ! I just got my SnackCrate in the mail ! (I walked to the post office to get it, so you know I was excited about it)
I made you guys a video of me unboxing and trying everything. (The video cut out after the first five minutes but I posted both parts )
For those of you who don't want to spend the time to watch the video, I have included pictures and descriptions of all the snacks I tried (plus my personal opinion about them). Hope you guys enjoy!!!!
Banana Kicks
Corn puffs with the flavor and shape of a banana
These had a really yummy banana flavor , kinda like the runt candy (which I love), and the consistency of a cheeto, which was actually really delicious.
Pushu Pushu
Don't boil it ! This ramen is meant to be eaten as a cracker. Check out the directions on the back
This actually surprised me in how good it was ! I never thought I'd enjoy raw ramen noodles, but I guess we can always learn something new, especially food wise (: It's kind of a spicy flavor, so if you don't like hot you wont enjoy it, it has a good crunch though !
Honey Twist Snacks
Twisted strips of flour made to resemble French fries, then covered with Acacia honey.
These, in one word : meh. They kinda tasted like a bland kids' cereal.
Koreabob
Seaweed flavored crackers that resemble creatures of the sea.
To me, these didn't really taste that fantastic, but I'm also not used to the taste of seaweed soooo that could've been why, the hubby loved them though !
French Pies
Fresh jam on top of a flaky and buttery pastry. (They included two , one strawberry and one apple)
There isn't much to say about these , they weren't spectacular or anything..
Sweet Potato Snack
Sweet potato snack is the perfect combination of of sweet potatoes and maple syrup.
This was actually the best of the "fry type snacks" that they sent me, they actually are pretty delicious , which surprised me cause I'm not the biggest fan of sweet potatoes!
Oh Yes!
This is a chocolate snack cake, (not even in the manual), basically similar to what you can get in the US.
This was really dry, and not that pleasant to eat at all...
Kancho Biscuits
Named for the prank played by Korean childre. These crunchy biscuits are filled with chocolate.
These are so yummy ! And so cute ! The chocolate is really good , and there are cute little characters on all of them ! These are super fun to eat.
** Choco boy**
Choco Boy has a chocolate cap on a crunchy biscuit.
&nsbp; These are delicious!!! They are really similar in taste to most of these, they seem to really like white bread with chocolate.
Coque De'asse
Shortbread cookies with a coffee and cream flavored center ( I also got sent a white chocolate one)
They sent me two flavors of this one, and they were amazing probably one of my favorites ! They taste like those Milano cookies you get here in the US <3
Shrimp Chips
Shrimp chips are "hot, salted, and fried" and are made from fresh flour and ground shrimp.
These smell like fish food ! They also have a really fishy after taste.... Hubs loves them though
Secom Dalcom
Sour fruit chews similar to Hi-Chew from Japan.
We actually have these in the US! The strawberry are the best ones :D They are very chewy, very fruity, and have adorable packaging ! These were lemonade flavored, with super cute pikachu packaging.
Almond and White Peperos
A classic stick-style treat with milk chocolate and almond flakes. (Chocolate ones)
Delicious stick biscuits coated in cookies and cream. (White ones ) (my favorite)
These are similar to picky (or so I've heard and SOOOOOOOOO good! Favorite thing in the box ! As usual with the Korea box, the chocolate is super creamy
Home Run Ball
Cripsy pastry balls with a rich chocolate filling.
I actually got the white chocolate version and these were pretty yummy ! Until it got to the coconut aftertaste... then it was less than stellar...
Gosomi
Wholesome wheat crackers with just a hint of sweetness.
These crackers were delightful to eat !!! Super thin, crispy, and both sweet and salty. Really enjoyed this one !
Choco Heim
Crunchy wafer sticks with hazelnut chocolate or vanilla cream inside.
These were one of the best things !! The hazelnut chocolate inside was to diiiieeee for !! <3
Yakgwa
Traditional Korean cookies resembling flowers, served on New Year's Day and Korean Thanksgiving.
These. Were . Terrible. SOOOOOO artificial, greasy, and dense. 20/10 would never eat these again.
Choco Pie
These marshmallow pies are adored by all Koreans. They are regularly smuggled into North Korea where they are as good as cash.
These are literally moon pies. They sell them here in the US, and they are not exactly wonderful, it's dry cake and marshmallow... covered in chocolate..
I hope you all enjoyed this post!
