So after waiting several weeks to get my gift while on vacation I was delighted to find a package from the great land of Amsterdonia. Inside I found a bounty of varying Dutch sweets and candies, each paired with their own background story and translations. I am excited to get to try some of these, and in a few cases make them, as if there is one thing I like more than sleep its candy.

As a side note: This is an absolutely amazing gift. I did't give much to work with but the candy angle made me smile when I opened up the first of the small packages. Thank you so very much to whomever you are.

Also, here is an album of pictures I took. There were too many to upload one by one with my slow internet:
