Asian grocery stores are great resources for international candy finds. Sometimes, however, those finds aren’t that great. Case in point:
I’d think the corn flavored candy thing was a translate server error , except that the package is covered in cartoon ears of corn. Candy corn is a cause I can get behind, as is candied popcorn. But candy made to taste like corn? Unsurprisingly, I passed on buying this bag.
I did seriously consider about giving these knockoff Ferror Rochers a try though:
If I hadn’t already had a suitcase full of UK candy to fly back to school, I would’ve seriously considered buying them.

Liberty Orchards Aplets and CotletsFrom: zomgcandy.com

These Liberty Orchards’ Aplets and Cotlets were given to me by my friend Rita, who is from Washington state.

If I ever get to visit her at home, I’m making her take me on the Liberty Orchards’ factory tour .
The Aplets (apples + walnuts ) and Cotlets (apricots + walnuts) come in a pretty box split in half between the two types. I love t...

Here in the U.S., the Kit Kat is manufactured under Hershey’s. Elsewhere in the world, Kit Kat is made by Nestle. My Kit Kat Hazelnut Cream was given to me by my friend Katie, who bought it for me while in Egypt last Christmas, so it’s made by Nestle.

The Hazelnut Cream is a Kit Kat of the Big Kat (in the U.S.) or Chunky (everywhere else) variety. T...

Michael Recchuiti is an American chocolatier who creates elegantly sleek and beautiful truffles. I stopped by his shop (also elegant and sleek, with a predominantly brown and gold scheme and employees dressed all in black) in San Francisco’s Ferry Building . His confections and boxed chocolates are extremely pricey, so I only bought two truffles from his extensive range. It was so hard to choose just two!
I definitely could have used help making my truffle selections, a...
