Muji Cotton Candy
Another sweet treat I found at Muji was this plain cotton candy. At first I was puzzled as to why there would be cotton sitting in the pantry area but then I read “watagashi” which means “cotton candy” in Japanese and then it all made sense haha. This is probably the most minimal cotton candy I’ve ever tried, no color but boy it has a nice flavor. It’s exactly what I expected and exactly what I wanted. This will be a repeat snack. Also literally just 2 ingredients — is made with brown sugar to bring out its fragrant caramel flavor, without any added flavoring. I love when a snack has simple to minimal amount of ingredients. Next time you’re in Muji be sure to grab some!

Eitaro Fruit Hard Candy Umeboshi Ame
I recently discovered the Eitaro Umeboshi Ame at Muji, and despite no actual umeboshi flavor, the candy's unique shape and smooth texture make it a pleasure to eat. It doesn’t have a unique flavor it kind of taste like plain konpeito candy but still tasty and I love that it’s not too sweet. What truly amazed me is the craftsmanship behind the candy, which dates all the way back to the Edo period. Eitaro has been making confections since 1818, and it shows in the care and quality of these little gems. The candy pieces are perfectly shaped, with smooth edges that make them easy to enjoy without any sharpness inside the mouth. Each piece delivers a subtle sweetness that is absolutely addictive! For anyone seeking a traditional Japanese candy with a touch of history, this is a must-try. The $9.90 price is absolutely worth it for the quality and the experience of tasting a centuries-old recipe. If you're a fan of wagashi like me! or simply curious to try something different, Eitaro Umeboshi Ame is highly recommended.

Olipop Ridge Rush Prebiotic Soda
This is definitely the healthier version of a 7up soda. Ridge rush is indeed a revitalizing thirst quencher. An exhilarating fusion of lemon, lime, and orange juices creates an energizing blast of flavor that’ll gear you up for your next adventure. With just the right amount of sweetness and fizz, it's a bold, fruity experience that feels good with every sip. Plus, the added prebiotics make it both tasty and beneficial like every other Olipop soda :) This flavor is really nice.

Health-Ade Kombucha Orange Creamsicle
Health-Ade is my favorite brand for kombucha thus far. The ingredients are top notch and actually feels like a healthy bev. Their limited edition flavor; Orange Creamsicle is like a burst of sunshine in a bottle! It blends the zesty sweetness of orange with the creamy nostalgia of a classic creamsicle, all wrapped up in the bubbly, gut-healthy goodness of kombucha. Each sip is refreshing, smooth, and deliciously unique. If you’re craving a feel-good drink that’s both fun and good for you, this one’s a must-try!

Lucky Foods Kimchi Spring Rolls
What can I say other than DEE-LEE-SHUS? Yea delicious. Family business owned, authentic flavor straight from Seoul, perfect amount (well almost, I kind of wanted more but that’s my fault for not getting an extra box, and of course I shared!) The only thing was that even after the instruction stated 15 minutes at 375 degrees for oven baking, it didn’t feel too warm in the inside still kind of cold but still good!? I don’t know how but I guess I’ll leave it more time for next time, because there will definitely be a next time. There’s a gluten-free alternative available and many other flavors too. They’re also spicy but not that spicy, the included sauce has a nice sweet kick to it! so don’t fret :) A++

This drink is delicious! I love love anything with guava in it and you can definitely taste it in this bev. One sip of this dreamy pink drink will transport you to your favorite beach holiday destination, with an extra dose of immune-boosting elderberry to support all your “travels.” It’s filled with prebiotics, probiotics, fiber and just has 6g of sugar! They also come in other flavors like Peach Ginger, Pineapple Paradise, and Strawberry Passion which I’m looking forward to try.

Olipop Crisp Apple Prebiotic Soda
I love it. It literally tastes like sparkling apple juice. It’s probably the best way to describe it. This flavor is actually not new, it was seasonal during the winter holidays. But they changed the packaging design and to be honest, I love this one a lot more. Very refreshing, go try it!

Hippeas Chickpea Tortilla Chips
You know those Doritos chips in the Cool Ranch flavor? Yea forget about those, these are similar but much better. Found these at a vending machine and I honestly had to get them 3x because they were so good of course, also the bags don’t bring enough chips! Couldn’t get enough of them. If there’s a big bag of these, it will make it all worth it. Like I said, forget about the Doritos, these are it!

Poppi Orange Cream Prebiotic Soda
Poppi's Orange Cream Soda is a delightful beverage that perfectly balances the nostalgic flavor of classic orange cream soda with a modern twist. The soda is refreshingly light, with a natural orange zest that complements its creamy undertones. It reminds me of the Flintstone Orange Sherbet Push Pops I loved as a kid, bringing back fond memories with every sip. The combination of healthy ingredients and the fun, bubbly texture makes this bev a must-try for anyone looking to enjoy a delicious and guilt-free refreshment. Highly recommend!

Sal de Ibiza La Vie en Rose Chips
These are probably the most exotic, delicious, potato chips I’ve ever had. They’re not just potato chips, they’re Potato Crisps with Rose Petals and Rose Essence. Received these as a gift from a friend and now I need to hunt these down in the states! Oh and look at the packaging of course! ♡ "La Vie en Rose" are truly expanding the snack cosmos with an unexpectedly elegant flavour.

Fazer Assa Mini Fruit Pastilles
The entire box was gone in a matter of seconds, ok maybe I’m exaggerating but definitely less than a few minutes. I love that these pastilles are not overly sweet. These tiny, colorful fruit candies are a perfect way to indulgence in small quantities throughout the day. They go handy in a small pastille box, that you can take wherever you go and snack along the day which is what I did when going on a bike ride. Flavors featured are pineapple-peach, pear, orange and black currant. Thanks to a lovely friend from Finland who gifted me some new things to try! ♡

Mavericks, Birthday Cake Bolt Cookies
THESE ARE SO GOOD. That’s it that’s the review. No but seriously, I can eat the whole box in one sitting if I could but I’m not because I want to save some for later. They’re nut-free, low sugar, no preservatives, syrups or sugar alcohols, delicious, anyone (especially kids!) can enjoy them! Highly recommend these. The fact they’re also shaped like a bolt is the best thing ever.

Olipop Barbie Edition Peaches and Cream
Sweet, bubbly and iconically peachy. Sweet, not too sweet but sweeter than the other flavors. Refreshing. Cream sometimes gives a bubblegum flavor. Only con is I was expecting more peach flavor only reason why it gets .5 less rating otherwise it’s great! Hopefully it becomes a permanent flavor.

I thought the chocolate flavor of these were my favorite but I changed my mind. THESE ARE THE ONES. They are perfect — enriched with B12 and L-theanine for energy & metabolism and has just right amount of sweetness that just melts in your mouth. Might need more than 2 bags next time I come across them. LOVE THEM.

Greystone Bakery Cinnamon Roll Blondie
This blondie is top notch! I love that it’s cinnamon roll flavored because it’s one of my favorite treats when it comes to sweets/pastries. Found it at my local supermarket by accident and I’m so glad I did. Perfect on its own, with a cup of coffee or a cup of tea. It resembles coffee cake with a cakey texture and topped cinnamon sugar. A delicious treat for morning, noon or night — anytime is right.

Aura Bora Herbal Sparkling Water, Lavender Cucumber
I am always drawn to lavender whether that is in skincare or my latte so I had a good feeling about this one. Although I wasn’t sure about the lavender and cucumber combo - it turned out to be so good! Best of all is that it’s refreshing, sugar-free, and very simple with its ingredients (only 3 - carbonated water, natural cucumber flavor, lavender flower extract). Also really cute packaging! Interested in trying out their other flavors.

CHA Tangerine White Tea Sparkling Drink
The only thing I wish this drink had was more tangerine, citrusy flavor other than that it’s a high top 4.5 for me.

Also the packaging is uber cute.

Marianne peppermint toffee sugar-free candy pastilles have a soft, chewy inside and a crunchy crust. Sweetened with xylitol and made with natural colors.

Annas Pepparkakor Gingerbread Cookies
Annas crispy “pepparkakor”, or ginger thins, have been baked to the same recipe since 1929 when two sisters, Anna and Emma Karlsson, opened a home bakery in the Östermalm district of Stockholm. They’re tasty, you will want to keep eating more after each bite. I love that the taste is not overpowering. They’re simply gingerbread cookies.

TÖST isn't overly sweet. When you open a bottle, you're greeted by a subtle effervescence and hints of crisp citrus with a refreshingly dry finish.

Sparkling white tea, cranberry and ginger, delicious.

365 by Whole Foods Market Candy, Gummy Bears (Assorted Flavors)
I love gummy bears and sometimes is hard to find some without gelatin. For those who may not know, Gelatin is a protein made from animal collagen, usually from cows and pigs so I avoid it. It’s commonly used to make capsules, cosmetics, ointments, and foods. But when I came across these at Whole Foods, they honestly taste even better than the ones I remember having back in the day. No turning back! A must-try for all the gummy bear lovers out there or those with a sweet tooth!

Found these at Target in the cookies aisle and I’m so glad I did. Do yourself a favor and find these now.

Ghia Le Spritz Soda
I love trying new beverages and you might think if these are even considered snacks? And yes I quite do. Especially when the ingredients are enough to fulfill the thirst. I am always seeking out new flavors so when I find a drink that's especially good, intriguing, unique - it makes it even more exciting for me. This soda has an impeccable mix of ingredients including grape juice, yuzu, and fig combined with orange peel, ginger, and elderflower. A real drink is made of real ingredients! Giving it a nice spice and making it remarkably potent. Found it at Boisson in NYC. “Crack it open, turn on the music, taste the bite, enjoy the night.”

Oishii Omakase Berry
These are not your typical berries. The Oishii Omakase Berry is grown in the world's first and largest indoor vertical strawberry farm. It uses technology and nature to replicate the ecosystem of Japan's best strawberry growing region. They taste just like candy. They’re more on the expensive side although they did reduce the price at Whole Foods but still not really meant for everyday. It’s an experience, I say try it at least once.

OMG. Let’s just say I’m sad they’re hard to find in stock in any Target, I regret not getting more bags, if only I knew how GOOD these tasted. If you see them, GET THEM. Once I opened the bag, I just couldn’t stop eating this popcorn. Tabitha knew exactly what she was doing when she made these. Only con is that I had dragon garlic breath but honestly it was worth it. It’s a perfect mix of garlicky, a little bit of sweet, full umami flavor. DELICIOUS.
