Havanna Alfajores and "Choco Pie" Chocolate Cream Sandwich

One of my favorite classic snacks by Lotte is "Choco Pie" Chocolate Cream Sandwich.

There's cream between two soft sponge cake dipped in chocolate. It's sweeter than usual Japanese chocolate snacks. I've tried tried many kind of "Choco Pie" (like this one) but I like the Japanese kind the best. How to describe this... ? It's like eating your favorite snacks in another country. Something is slightly different! (Have you tried Lay's potato chips? Cola cola? It tastes slightly different!)

My little girl likes "Choco Pie" too. Yummy!
Now, I also want to introduce a similar snack Havanna Alfajores from Argentina. This snack is the same concept and has caramel inside ("dolce de leche"). It is super duper sweet. I got this pictured alfajores from a colleague last year. Mini size is my favorite because I can never finish the regular size by myself. Make sure to eat with unsweetened black tea or coffee!

"Awa Soda" Soda Bubble Candy

This candy is similar to Smarties but melts faster with flavor of ラムネ " Ramune " (taste like Sprite) with strange bubbles "Awa" in your mouth (a lot of bubbles!).  Bubbly bubble! If you are either Ramune fan or bubbles fan (imagine bath bubbles melts in your mouth) or both, this is for you! This candy is very unique in its flavor and texture for people outside Japan (I hope it was obvious from my description above). However, I totally forgot about its uniqueness for a moment. Then, I came to realization when my daughter put the candy into her mouth for 2 seconds and then spit out immediately with yikes face.  Yikes! Anyway, since my hubby doesn't eat any candies and my daughter rejected the candy, I decided to keep it all to myself at work. I like "Ramune", candy and bubbles so this is a candy of my dream. Very bubbly! Awa Awa Awawa! If you are up for this sensational bubbly experience in your mouth, check out these items now. Today&

"Caplico" Chocolate Snack

Caplico mini is one of our family's favorite sweet snacks. It's basically "ice-cream on cone" shaped chocolate snack (dry). "Ice-cream" part is made of fluffy textured chocolate. It comes with 3 different flavors - strawberry, vanilla, cacao. "Cone" part is wafer. Inside the "cone", it's stuffed with again, fluffy cacao flavored chocolate.  Yes to strawberry flavor Caplico! Caplico actually comes with "regular size". In my opinion, you easily get tired with one flavor with regular size. On the other, " mini " version is just a perfect size for you to try out another stick with different flavor. Additionally, I noticed that "cone" (wafer part) is also somewhat crunchier with mini than the regular size. Regular size Caplico   Hence, when you purchase one, please make sure you select "mini" Caplico! I selected one for you so check it out.  Today's shopping list: 1.  Gli
