February 2015 Italy Universal Yums Subscription Box
Universal Yums is an international snacks subscription box for $13 (6+ snacks) or $25 (13+ snacks) a month.
This month, the theme of the box was Italy. I was very excited for this because I know how well known this country is for its chocolate and sweets. So I subscribed for a $13 box to get started.
The box came with an informational card with a description and explanation of all of the snacks. It also included the clue for the next month, which I suspect it will be China.
So here are the snack pictures and reviews:
Salted Carame Biscotti
This biscotti was really good. It was sweet and crunchy. I really enjoyed it!
Lazzaroni Amaretti Di Saronno(2)
I didn't like these cookies much because they were really chewey and hard to take them off my teeth. I guess I had to eat them with coffee or milk so that it hadn't been so hard to eat them.
Frutta Bon Bons(2)
These little fruity candies were chewey, sweet and delicious. I loved the tiny size of them because they do not overwhelm you with sweetness.
Coffee N' Cream Bon Bons (2)
These candies truly tasted like coffee. Not really sweet. Definitely for thise who enjoy a cup of espresso alone.
Ferrero Raffaello (2)
These are definitely not new to me, but I am glad that they included these because I absolutely love them! They are coated with coconut shreds and filled with a white cream and an almond.
Di Nonna Lemon Pizzelle
These waffer cookies were pretty normal. Nothing that I hadn't tasted before, but I really liked the design on these cookies.
Pernigotti Classici (2)
These creamy chocolate trapezoids were pretty good yet kind of boring because they didn't have any filling or crunchy about them. The taste was pretty good though, with a blend of cocoa and hazelnuts. Basically the inside of a Chocolate Ferrero.
Pernigotti Noccioie (2)
These nut filled chocolate bars were my favorite of all because of the smooth chocolate contrasted with the crunchy nut! Definitely give it a try because they are so worth it.
Perugina Baci
These tasted exactly like Ferrero Rocher. And of course it was delicious.
So my overall review for this box is that it does not really provide your money's worth, but it definitely introduces you to new snacks that you have probably never tried before (unless you're from that certain country). But I really enjoyed getting the box and experiencing new flavors and sweets from Italy. I will definitely try another box and see what other surprises Universal Yums gives me.
Thank you and have a nice day,
