Universal Yums: August's Box

9/24/2018

0 Comments

 
Damn Facebook and its persistent advertisements! After months of watching taste-testers try snacks from around the world, I finally talked to my family about eating boxes of foreign treats every month. There wasn't much to discuss. It made the decision all the easier since our first order lined up with the UK box. My husband has a few favourite UK treats already so he didn't object to receiving more. 

No, we aren't being compensated for releasing a review of these treats or of the Uniserval Yums service, but since I was reviewing tea, why not review these treats too? Plus, it's helpful for me to have a record since I forget things very easily... It might also make for a good source of gift ideas *hint hint*
Click through the pictures below for treat-by-treat commentary:
Not pictured:

Dreamy Creamy Toffee: Definitely toffee. Thick, gooey toffee. Hubby loved it; he loves toffee. I liked it; I occasionally enjoy toffee. R got a very small sample but seemed excited about it.

Chocolate Lime Candy: Hubby loves the lime. I do not. I'd take the Haggis chips over these.

Prosecco Fudge: Tastes like sweet fudge. It's ok.

Black Currant & Champaign Toffee: Tastes like a creamy raspberry Starburst.

Treacle Toffee: ​Tastes like chewy toffee.

The Ballot:

Our family UK care package could gladly consist of:
Toffypops
Dreamy Creamy Toffee
Rhubarb Custard Bonbons
and those gross lime candies because my husband is a crazy person...
