Amazing Italian Candy haul! :D

Of course I couldn't leave Italy without

bringing home some local Candy!!! :D

If you want to buy some seriously classic Lolita themed candy - Italy is the place to go :)

'Cause what is more Classic Lolita than flowers? ;)

They have loads of flower-flavoured pastilles in Italy.

Really nice! Powdery, soft and perfume-y! :)

Violet candies

Pretty tin boxes in Art Nouveau style!
The cinnamon flavour is very strong :)

I have the boxes as decoration in my room :)

French flower pastilles - Anise, Menthe and Rose <3

Sage and Lemon hard candies :)

Sugar-coated chestnuts
(These tasted rather weird ;)

French Nougat or "Turrone" in Italian ;)... Pistachio flavour!
Really tasty :D

Turrone with almonds and fresh freeze-dried forest fruits :)

Mixed flower and herb candies!

Many different flavours.
Some tastes are very bitter, like chewing the herb straight from the garden :)

Feels like a very adult candy ;)

Tic Tac! We don't have Tic Tac in Sweden :)
I used to buy them when I lived in Hong Kong...
I've never tried these tastes before! :)

Pineapple was really good :)

Liquid Chocolate Coffee!
Really strong and extra bitter dark chocolate :)

Sugar free Coffee-candy - these where really nice!

And of course - Biscotti of Tuscan ;)
Can't go home without something touristy ;)

*OM*NOM*NOM*

Finally time to DIG IN!!! ;)

Korean Pocky at Hemköp! Lotte Pepero REVIEW

Today I tried out the Korean version of the fabulous Pocky biscuits: 

Pepero

Pepero in my store comes in 3 different chocolatey flavours:

Plain chocolate, Almond chocolate and Soft chocolate filling.

Inner safety bag for freshness.

Plain chocolate

Almond chocolate

Soft Chocolate filling aka "Nude"

Nam-nam!

The taste is similar to the Pocky version , but for the Plain Chocolate I do prefer the Pocky version. The chocolate doesn't quite taste like real chocolate... it tastes more of vegetable fat and colourings than of dark chocolate ^.^

The Almond Chocolate is very nice, light milk chocolate wipped together with chunky almond slivers. Very nice, rich taste and the almonds give a good crunch to the biscuit.

The Soft Chocolate filling stick (aka "Nude") reminds me of Nutella! The taste is great :) I really would buy these again.

The original Pocky - Is Pepero a bootleg version? ;)

 It's far from my favourite Pocky flavours (Litchi, mousse, Matcha etc.) but is is alright, and fun that it is available in an ordinary Swedish food-store! :)

3/5 Hazelbelle Nuts to Pepero for great tasting Almond Chocolate and Soft Chocolate filling!
