I ordered from snackinn.com It has went smoothly, I could not find good reviews so i risked it despite them getting my 2 orders wrong but they have the best customer service. Sorry If i have no pictures really don’t have my own camera and really rather have my own.

I ordered alot but basicly i wanted to try some things

pepero choco cookie: https://www.snackinn.com/lotte-pepero-choco-cookie 

haven’t tried them yet but they are korean version of pocky so i decided to give it a go since pocky has no flavor also got pepero version of cookies and cream.

Pocky Banana Chocolate something i added in there I never tried the taste was kind of bland not as strong a banana flavor but if you have it with some good chocolate milk it taste good with it.

Ordered me 2 black bar thunder bar, tried one it taste really good, it has these cookie biscuits inside feels like i’m tasting a pocky in away so it was really good.

Also ordered lotte pepero double stick strawberry and chocolate and pocky midi strawberry and chocolate. Haven’t tried them yet but maybe later i will.

tried my very first meltyblend chocolates too strawberry flavor and royal milk tea flavor. royal milk tea was ok i wouldn’t say the super best but its ok, the tea was to strong. my favorite was strawberry flavor.

meltyblend winter edition chocolate 

Chocomonth part two! So, I've brought up Tensuke before, but I've never gone into detail about them before. In short, Tensuke might be the best Japanese supermarket in Columbus, and they're a one-stop shop for fun ingredients. Also, they have two full isles dedicated to candy and snacks! For a store that's on the smaller side, that's quite a lot. They also got in a nice stock for Christmas, so, while I wait for another shipment to come in from CandySan, let's examine one of the highlight's of Tensuke's Christmas stock: Winter-themed MeltyBlend!

So what are these? Think of them like sqaure-shaped truffles; They're little chocolate cubes with soft, flavored centers, and a dusting of cocoa. There's a similar candy out there called MeltyKiss, but you'd be hard set to find a difference between the two. From what I can gather, MeltyKiss is milk chocolate-based, while Melty blend has a higher cacao content, which is supposed to give it a stronger flavor. Well, let's see if it lives up to that, shall we? Today, we'll be looking at three different, specially packaged flavors for the holiday season: Royal Milk Tea, Fruity Strawberry, and Premium Cacao!

Alright, the packages make it look like they're doused in cocoa. They're not, and it's hardly noticeable in the right lighting. Also, these are really melty. I haven't even put it in my mouth yet; it's just really soft. These start off really bitter, become a little sweet, and finishes off bitter. Wow, for Meiji chocolate, the bitterness is pretty intense. Like, coffee intense. Granted, I'm pretty sure it's about sixty percent cacao, so that's to be expected. There's also a twinge of a hazelnut flavor... Now, there's no nut of any kind in these, but it's definitely there. It's a subtle earthiness that only nuts have, and, along with the bitterness, I think that flavor comes from the cocoa.

Now, we have a candy here called chocolate ice-cubes. They're just regular chocolate, but they are so rich, that they make your tongue feel cold. I'm not sure how that works, but these are a similar experience. They're not soft and squishy, and there's a certain thickness to it, like a chocolate truffle with more density to it.

Strawberry is a bit of a different story. To begin, it's scent isn't dominated by pure cacao. So, that's good. Though the bitter taste of cocoa does get in the way, it really does have a nice fruitiness to it. It's got the flavor and aroma of a frozen strawberry, and finishes like jam. I feel like these would be really nice as a dessert garnish, like as something you'd put on top of an ice-cream sundae.

I expected the filling to be a bit waxy, or squishier at least, but it still had that same density and texture as the first one. However, the chocolate wasn't as overwhelmingly rich. Though I'm still not fond of it's bitter start, I find eating these to be a bit more pleasant, since the sweetness of its filling is a bit of an equalizer. That said, it almost covers up the flavor of the chocolate entirely. While the strawberry taste isn't unpleasant by any means, it would be nice if the flavors didn't fight each other in your mouth.

As for Milk tea. First off, I love tea, a lot. It really pains me that tea candies are really uncommon... Or at least, tea candies that aren't matcha. It's annoying to me. That said, while these might not be bad, they're certainly not satisfying to me. First off, while the bitterness is more subdued in this flavor, there's hardly any tea flavor at all, unless you smack your lips after you swallow. This doesn't really fault the candy, but I really don't see how it works as a tea candy.

That said, this still may be my favorite flavor in the bunch. With the bitterness being subdued by the sweetness of the filling, but not totally being overpowered by it, it ends up tasting like fresh hot chocolate. And not that powdered stuff, either: Real hot chocolate. The kind your mom would make with a Hershey bar and hot milk. That kind of hot chocolate. While I can't picture myself eating it everyday, this is still the most pleasant flavor in my eyes; It's much sweeter, very rich, and hey, the very subtle tea aftertaste isn't bad either.

As a whole, I can't say I like these all that much; they're a bit bitter for my taste, but that's a matter of opinion. The rest of the candy is really technically great; The creamy center is just the icing on the cake!

Wanna give these a try? Sweet! Candysan is currently carrying winter editions of the Fruity Strawberry flavor, and Premium Cacao flavor. What makes them winter edition? Special packaging.
