Legit Swedish fish! I love elderflower anything, and the flavor of these is great. I would prefer it if the fish were a little bit softer and easier to chew. My partner in snack crime was a big fan of these and would probably rate them 5 stars.

This was my least favorite of the Bubs gummies I tried. It is simply ok. I actually was not sure what the flavor was supposed to be until I looked it up online later.

Like the other Bubs candies I tried, this gummy is a little softer than usual. The Dizzy Skull is bubblegum flavored, but that flavor is more subtle than with American confections. The taste starts out with a mild sourness before quickly turning to sweet.

I wasn’t sure what to expect biting into such a large gummy, but pleasantly found it softer than most of the gummies you get from a bulky candy wall. I think that’s important, it would be too much if Bubs candies were the consistency of say, a Haribo. I found this fruity flavor quite pleasant and would buy it again!

I had never heard of Haw Flakes—made with hawthorn berry—until recently, but I learned they are a snack staple of many Chinese-American childhoods. The texture was a surprise to me, both flaky and a bit chewy. I liked that these were fruity and not too sweety.

My impression of this brand of licorice really depends on the flavor.

• “Tropical” was juicy and delicious.

• Green apple flavor was pretty good.

• Raspberry tasted weird and chemical and I ended up throwing the rest of those away.

These maple sandwich-style cookies are solidly alright for me, maybe a touch too sweet; my partner in snacks is a fan. I do find the maple leaf shape of the cookies very pleasing, and love the attention to detail on the veins of the leaves.

I don’t like white chocolate, but these are pretty good—maybe a 3.5 stars, but I’ll round up. The sakura flavor and consistency of Nama chocolates really improves white chocolate.

This was my first time trying ROYCE’ chocolates, and wow these are so nice. They have a squishier, chewier consistency—almost like fudge, definitely in truffle territory at least. The cacao powder does get on your fingers a little bit, but I find I don’t mind.

Chip Star chips have a similar shape and texture to Pringles, if you’re familiar with those. I was curious about this lemon flavor, so decided to try them out. They’re solidly okay. I would say the lemon flavor doesn’t have much zing to it. Perhaps the flavor was modeled after a particularly sweet lemon, since the manufacturers couldn’t use sugar here to balance out the sour.
