I know what you’re thinking – did we not already see the final Snack Surprise review? It wasn’t until I posted the Denmark box that I realised there was still one box I was waiting on… After all, there were 20 countries on the leader board, and I was subscribed in quarterly instalments. After emailing the customer service team, I was told my box would arrive during the first week of October (and had I still subscribed, I would have then received another box the week after, so there’s clearly a bit of a delay) – and here is number 21.
The final box I’ll
be reviewing comes from Slovakia – how random. What snacks did I get and how
did I rate them? Read on to find out…
SWEET
- Tatranky: crispy wafers filled with peanut butter
cream and drizzled with chocolate.
You can’t
really go wrong with wafers, although I couldn’t tell they were peanut butter
flavoured. They were still delicious though!
- Seditky Pernik
Jahoda: a
traditional Slovak delight – a chocolate-covered gingerbread, loaded with
fruity strawberry jam filling.
I didn’t think
I would like this, but I’d describe it as weird but good. The gingerbread had a
really nice texture and I understood the chocolate coating, but perhaps not the
jam filling so much. Luckily it wasn’t too sweet or overwhelming.
- Kavenky: wafers sandwiched with a rich coffee
filling.
The perfect
snack to have with a morning coffee. The filling was creamy and not too strong.
- Alaska: gluten-free snack. Alaska contains two
corn wafer tubes filled with sweet milk cream.
I was hoping
these would taste like Milky Way Crispy Rolls, but alas, they were dry and soft
and in texture, and bland in flavour. Not the best snack.
SAVOURY
- Beer Crunch:
the perfect snack to
enjoy over a refreshing drink – barbecue-flavoured nuts.
So, these were
more like corn than actual nuts (there was me thinking they’d be like Nobby’s)
and for someone that loves those Graze pouches and Love Corn’s crunchy snack, I
had high hopes. These were horrible – artificial in flavour and just not
pleasant at all. I tried a couple of bits and then binned the rest!
- Slovchips Bacon
Flavour: bacon-flavoured
crisps, made the old-fashioned way, using fresh potatoes to retain their bold
flavour.
Smoky bacon crisps,
which had a nice flavour. I actually shared these with Alfie, and he thought they
were Walkers smoky bacon… so you can’t tell the difference!
CONFECTIONERY
- Figaro
Rumba: the Figaro Rumba bar is a treat made of dark chocolate and a milk filling
flavoured with rum.
Much like other products I’ve received before, this was a nice rich chocolate
bar, with a very boozy centre. The filling was creamy, almost like a chocolate
fondant.
- Deva Chocolate Orange Bar: delicious
orange peel jelly encased in decadent dark chocolate.
As everyone knows, I hate chocolate orange, but I love Jaffa Cakes. So
imagine my delight when this was basically a Jaffa Cake without the cake – a really
gorgeous orange jelly, with a not-too-bitter dark chocolate shell. So good.
- Karamelove Mliecne Lizanky: this toffee
milk lollipop will transport you back in time to the simpler time of childhood
with its sweet, creamy flavour.
Well, it didn’t, but it did taste exactly like Scottish tablet. A very
sweet lollipop.
- Figaro Yami Jelly Bar: a chocolate
bar with a sweet and delicious filling.
Again, this probably shouldn’t have worked – as fruit and chocolate don’t
always mix. I would say this was like a berry version of the orange bar. I couldn’t
tell you what berry or fruit it contained. It was weird but it grew on me.
DRINK
- Vinea Original White Grape Drink: light and
bubbly non-alcoholic drink made from white grapes.
This was basically like Schloer – not much else to say. I loved it.
And now to the ratings. As boxes go, I don’t think this one scored too badly.
There were six products I loved, which is over half of the box. The Slovakia
Snack Surprise box received a rating of 27/33, so here is the final – actual final
