I received a great box of snacks from my Canadian Snack Santa today!!

I had a Canadian Santa during last year's Snack Exchange and I knew there was a chance that I might get one again. As an American, I figured the chances were probably highest for Canadians more than anything else since the rest of the world seems to be exchanging with Americans if they're going international. So, with that in mind, I asked my Santa, should they be Canadian, to send me more Coffee Crisp. I had them for the first time last year and I ADORED them. Sooo incredibly good!!!

AND MY SANTA HEARD MY PLEA AND SENT ME MORE COFFEE CRISP! You have no idea how happy I was to see them. I literally squealed when I opened the box. They got me another four pack (!!) and fun-sized versions too!!! They were literally the first thing I broke into. I inhaled that little Coffee Crisp like nobody's business. I'm going to have to ration those addicting little things because I can already see myself eating them all within a couple of days... And then I'll have no more Coffee Crisp and I'll be sad forever (or realistically, until I can get more Coffee Crisp somehow).

And since my Santa was super generous, they send me a bunch of other great snacks as well!!

The next thing I tried was Big Turk, which are chocolate covered Turkish Delights. I've had Turkish Delights before but normally, they're covered in powdered sugar, not chocolate. I've never had them with chocolate before but they're great with chocolate! It's such a good combination, I can't believe this is the first time I've ever had them chocolate covered before. I've only had the one so far so I'm sorta curious if they might have different flavors inside.

After that, I tried one each of the mini Wunderbars and the CrispyCrunch. I've never tried or even heard of either of these candy bars before. Thank god my Santa decided to send small versions of these candy bars because I was able to indulge without feeling guilty.

The CrispyCrunch reminded me of a lot like American Butterfingers, only less buttery and sweet. I actually hate butterfingers because of their extreme sweetness so these were much better! It was incredibly crunchy and the flavor was predominately peanut-y.

The Wunderbar was also peanut-y, but it also had caramel notes to it. A very tasty bar. I think it might have crispy things in it too? I liked it even if it wasn't as crunchy as the CrispyCrunch.

So, while all the Coffee Crisp my Santa sent me made me squeal with delight, the box of Kinder Surprise Eggs made me gasp with surprise. Oh my god, thank you Santa!!!! Thank you for braving customs and possible forfeiture of the package to smuggle me some of these contraband eggs!!!

I haven't had one of these in over a decade, not since an old Russian friend had sent me some as a gift. They're all so beautiful -- and all four of them survived the trip intact!! I haven't been able to bring myself to open one of them yet but I'm shaking in excitement just at the thought of it now...

When I got to the box of KD, I literally laughed out loud. I guess a Canadian box of snacks wouldn't be complete without a box of KD. I know we Americans love the stuff, but even I know our love doesn't seems to come close the love affair you guys seem to have for the orange, cheesy pasta. I have no idea if it's any different from our Kraft Mac & Cheese, but I'm eager to find out! I usually keep a box or two in my pantry just in case I'm every too lazy to cook a real meal but the next time that happens, I'll bypass my boxes and try yours instead. Normally, I like to add a handful of shredded cheese and frozen peas when I made it but I'll made it plain (keeping it pure!) just so I can taste the difference.

And lastly, I received two full sized bags of potato chips! One was Lay's Ketchup flavored chips and the other was Ruffles' All Dressed chips! A few years ago, my sister and her husband went to Canada and I asked them to bring me back a bag of ketchup flavored chips because I love ketchup and I love chips and I had never had them before. This is the exact same thing they brought me. Since then, I've tried the President's Choice brand of ketchup flavored chips, which I liked a lot too. I'm just glad to get more ketchup flavored anything!

In the last couple of years, Ruffles' All Dressed chips have been making their way to the American market. I've bought them twice now and while their packaging is different (they make sure all us Americans know it's a Canadian flavor with a maple leaf on our bags of it), I have no idea if the authentic ones straight from Canada taste any different. And if I hadn't just bought a banh mi for a snack, I would have totally broken into them to taste test them for myself. But this is definitely the next thing on my list to try.

Thank you so much for the snack box! You really managed to get me a great mix of new and old favorites! I'm going to have a blast eating all of these!
