The long journey from Norway was well worth it. My Norwegian snack provider has gifted me days of snacking happiness and what must be thousands of calories, in the form of several interesting kinds of licorice and other candies, enormous milk chocolate bars (not sure of the conversion rate but these suckers are at least a kilometer long), and an equally large bag of Cheez Doodles. Are these the same as American Cheez Doodles? Is that even possible? Only through science and rigorous experimentation will we be able to answer for sure...

So far I've eaten the Kicks, the Påske Marsipan egg, and some of the Smash! and they're all delicious (my wife particularly loves the chocolate), but the original-flavor Kick licorice toffee is spectacular. Looking forward to tearing into the rest.

A hearty MANGE TAKK to my secret-snacking Norwegian friend.
