Oh my gosh. I was so excited for my first international exchange!! My favorite thing about Halloween is CANDY! So I asked for my santa to get me their favorite snacks and treats from where they live. When I saw it was coming all the way from Australia I thought it might take a while to get here in the humble Midwestern United States, but boy was it worth the wait.

So excited when I opened up the box!! I squealed like a little schoolgirl. SO much more than I was expecting!! I didn't know where to start!! The first thing I pulled out was some Caramello Koalas! Milk Chocolate koalas, how stinking cute! I bet these are going to be really good. The next ones I pull out are Tim Tam! Salted Caramel and Peanut Butter! These sound REALLY good. Next out came Sour Squirms! These remind me a bit of Troli Brite Crawlers, but I bet these are better. (Spoiler: I was right.) Next was the huge green bag! This one is something called Jumpy's snacks. They're described as "Chicken flavored crunchy potato snacks". These should be a fun thing to try! I opened one up to see what they looked like. They're kangaroo shaped. I should have guessed. Another chocolate came out next, Cadbury Dairy Milk Furry Friends! How adorable!! I love that they had the Australian animals on there. I love animals too!!

The last thing I noticed in the box was kind of hidden in there. I pulled it out and literally said, "no freaking way." VEGEMITE!! I've never tried this before, I'm so excited!! I've heard a lot of people hate it, but I'm always wanting to try new things!! I'm not going to lie, I had to google "how to eat Vegemite" because I had no idea what to do with it. When I saw that the suggestion was to put it on top of buttered toast, well... it was breakfast time for me!

I have to say, I was surprised how delicious it was. I had a couple friends say that it was gross, but I found it to be really savory, salty, and kind of... smoky? I think. I was at a loss for words to describe it, but it's definitely something I will be eating for breakfast again. It's really good!!

Seriously, thank you SO SO SO much Santa! These gifts are amazing! You brought a taste of Australia to this girl in a humble little state of Iowa. I appreciate all the goodies you brought to me. A little bit of sweet, sour, and savory all at once! My favorites are the Vegemite, Tim Tam, and Sour Squirms! The Caramellos and Furry Friends got shared with some of my coworkers, they were so delicious. The Jumpy's taste kind of like a cross between potato chips and chicken ramen. In a good way. I like them!! I love this so much, I appreciate all your presents and all the effort it took to get them all the way over here! You're the best!! Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
