March 2015 China Universal Yums Subscription Boc

Universal Yums is a monthly subscription box that delivers snacks from different parts of the world. This month's country was China, which I wasn't much excited about because they are not that known for their snacks although thwy are known for their exotic cuisines.

Inside the box, there's this card that tells you facts about china and the snacks are listed in the back, along with next monthe's clue. 

I believe that next month will be Switzerland, what do you think?

White Rabbit (2)

This was the hardest handy I have eveer eaten. In the description, it says that it's similar to a tootsie roll, but no it is not. It's like a rock, and barely tastes like milk. 

Shelly Senbei Sweet Rice Crackers

These crackers were really light and mildly sweet. I really enjoyed they because thay are the perfect little dessert for when you are not craving much sweetness but yet want somethihg to satisfy your desert portion of the day. 

Shelly Senbei Hot & Spicy Rice Crackers

These were my absolute favorite of all the box because they are not only sweet like the ones above, but at the same time, there is a delicious spicy kick to them at the end. Absolutely loved them!

Amay's Almond cookie

Totally disappoined about this one. I mean come on, these cookies are everywhere!

Pineapple and Tangerine Hard Candies (4)

These were okay. Not impressive. 

Edo Blueberry Pie

In the description, they say it's like a Fig Newton, but it is definitely a lot more chewier and thicker. But it was still very good. 

Butterfly Cookies (4)

These I was surprised about because I've had them in Mexico before, but I wouldn't have thought that they were made in Taiwan as well. 

By the way, the box included snacks from Taiwan and Hong Kong. 

Assirted Crispy Candy

(Blue-Almond, Yellow-Peanut, Orange-mixed nut)

These were pretty good. They tasted like marzipan or Mazapan, really flaky but nutry flavored.

The orange one was my favorite because it had nut chunks inside it. It was delicious!! The other two were not that interesting...

Wasabi Potato Crispy

These crisps were awesome because of the wasabi flavor. And specially because I'm into spicy flavors. I would not recommend it for people who cannot handle spicy things because these have a pretty strong wasabi flavor. Definitely recommend to those who enjoy savory snacks. 

Peach Milk Ball Soft Candy (2)

These candies looked kind if weird. I was expecting them to be perfectly rund, but instead just looked like an imperfect ball of candy. They tasted okay. The inside had a chewy center that was pretty hard to eat because it would stick to my teeth. 

Overall this box was interesting and fun to explore all of rhe different flavors. The price of this box was $13 and I am pretty sure it's not worth even half of it but I guess the experience is worth it and it's cool to explore new and interesting flavors every month. 

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,
