Santa wrote a couple of weeks ago to say there would be a delay in sending me a snack box fom Halifax, NS, Canada, because she was travelling in Europe. No worries, sez I...and her travel meant there were also evil bits in my snack pack from Italy and Spain!

This box was amazing and included a great range of treats!

From Canada: Donair sauce, used on the Halifax specialty sandwich of the same name (a garlicky, creamy sauce...and we now want to try the Donair recipe), OMGs (which were on the Canadian version of Shark Tank, called "Dragon's Den"...100% Canadian, 100% delish, according to Santa), Smarties (Like M&Ms, only better chocolate), 2 Crispy Crunch bars (well, one, now), ketchup flavored Doritos (only available in Canada...there may be a reason for that), Coffee Crisp (yummmm!), Canadian KitKat, and McIntosh's toffee.

From Italy: Babbi Wafers, Baci Perugina, and Barratti & Milano. Neither Santa nor I speak Italian, so we're not sure what these actually are...but they all look tasty. :-)

And from Barcelona, Spain, a selection of elegant hand-made hard candies in various tasty fruit flavors.

Thank you very much, WrongKate, for thinking of me both at home and abroad. These are just awesome, and I'm looking forward to trying everything (even the ketchup-flavored Doritos). This box will tastefully (ot taste-illy) promote international relations!
