Woohooo we’re going to Germany!  I love German snacks. Plus is this not the CUTEST idea? The tissue is arranged like the German flag. IMG_6515The information card supplies a bit of detail about each snack, plus a photo. The ingredients have been translated and are listed on the Universal Yums site.

IMG_6519And the snacks looked delightful! I was really happy to see a mix of salty, sweet, spicy, fruity, and that each snack was produced by an actual German company!

When I was typing this up I discovered that half the snacks were from Lorenz, which is a giant salty snacks company headquartered in Germany. I enjoyed reading about it and checking out all their products. Even though many of the snacks were from the same company they were all very different.

  • IMG_6524Lorenz Curly Peanuts – A super unique German snack, these are sort of like old puffy Cheetos, except peanut! Crunchy and crispy.
  • Lorenz Saltlett’s Classic – classic German pretzels flavored with sea salt. MMM Salt.
  • IMG_6525Manner Lemon Wafer – Well, this is actually an Austrian snack. I love wafer cookies and especially lemon and half my family is Austrian, so I was happy to see it!
  • Hitschler Softi Sticks – these are fun taffy sticks and yummy. They were a nice balance while we worked our way through all the salty stuff.
  • Haribo Gold Bears – I have discussed this before, most people think Haribo is a Japanese snack, but they are 100% German. Love them!

  • Kinder Happy Hippo – Kinder is a German chocolate/confection company (mostly all made with milk, hence the Kinder), and I have surprisingly never had one of these hazelnut hippos! Delicious!
  • Ritter Sport Chocolate – Ritter is a classic German chocolate brand, they have tons of flavors, I got yogurt filling. These are a treat for me!
  • Leibniz Choco Pick Up! I may have mentioned in the past that I was born in Germany and Leibniz was my childhood cracker/cookie. I cannot resist them. CANNOT. And sticking chocolate in between? Yessss!
  • Schluckwerder Marzipan – Marzipan is a sweet almond confection and this one has a nice coating of dark chocolate. It’s a great holiday treat!

IMG_6529Dr. Quendt’s Dinkelchen – I thought this was the most unique snack in the box! they are made with wheat bran and Russian bread, and of course, coated in milk chocolate. We loved these! If I could order a case for lunches I would.

I can’t believe I’m still reviewing. There was really a lot in this box!

  •  Lorenz Monster Munch – SO adorable, since they are little monsters & ghosties we’re hanging on to them for next week. They are puffy with a cheese flavor.
  • Lorenz Naturals Paprika – Real paprika, not that old stuff on grandma’s shelf. Delicious chips!

We SO enjoyed this box and loved the variety of flavors. For $20 per month I thought it was also an amazing deal! Plus everything was fresh and in excellent condition (no mashed up snacks here). Remember to lock in your subscription price. And here’s the hint for the January box!

Spicy snacks, amazing treats.
You’re about to get some real good eats.
To Say hello, they’ll often shake hands,
But if you speak Spanish, they won’t understand.

  • Brenna Tucker

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Glad to hear it! We include fun facts about the country too, so it’s a little bit of education while you’re snacking!

  • Alexis L
    10.28.14

    I really like the idea of this box! I’m excited to try snacks from so many countries, but if I have to pick just one, I’d say Japan.

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Thanks Alexis! We’re so excited to bring a country to you each month! Japan is going to be great when we do it. Definitely going to include the strangest flavor of Pocky we can find!

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      This month is perfect for you!

  • Tiffany Smith

    Japan.

    • universalyums

      When we do Japan it’s going to be so fun! They have the strangest snacks in the world (we just saw some cheesecake flavored gummies from Japan)

  • Gina Gallagher
    10.27.14

    Would love to get snacks from France, because they have the best food in the world.

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Definitely! It would be so hard to decide what to include in the France box – everything is so good!

  • Caitlyn
    10.27.14

    I can’t decide….Japan, Switzerland, or maybe France.

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Or maybe all three! 🙂

  • tweetyscute
    10.27.14

    I would love some chocolate from Switzerland

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Yum! Switzerland has the best chocolate!

  • Deanna Lynn
    10.26.14

    This is so fun. Germany has great snacks. I might like to try snacks from France or China.

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      We think it’s fun too! One of co-founders lived in China for awhile and loves Chinese candy! (just not the corn-flavored candy).

  • Alisa Goins
    10.26.14

    Snacks from Japan could be interesting!

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Agreed! Did you know there’s sweet potato and chestnut ice cream in Japan? Sadly we can’t ship it to the US 🙁

  • boxesfordays
    10.26.14

    I would love to try snacks from England! I feel like they have some awesome candy and chips flavors. 😀

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      They do! And the Cadbury bars over there are 100% more delicious than what we have in the US.

  • kristen mcclary
    10.26.14

    i would most like to try snacks from japan i heard they have some crazy candys like different types of kitkat like watermelon

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      They also have creme brulee Kit Kats that you can bake in the oven. So cool! Japan will be coming in the future!

  • Alexa Cohen

    Israel!

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      One of our co-founders was there in July – and fell in love with Bamba! Israel will definitely show up in the future.

  • Kayla

  • Carrie H.
    10.26.14

    I’ve had most of the stuff in the Germany box, and they were right- pretty good! I would love to try some snacks from France

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Glad you’ve tried most of these snacks from Germany! France would be a great option – I’m sure we’ll rotate back to European countries soon enough!

  • Brittany
    10.26.14

    I would love to try snacks from Australia, i have always wanted to try vegemite

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      Us too! We’ve always wanted to try vegemite – although we’ve heard it’s not very good plain (you have to put it on toast).

  • Susan Burge (@georgiarealist)
    10.25.14

    What a good idea! I love to try different things, but I’m always reluctant to commit to one country’s snacks for a long term. This is a great way to try before you decide you really want one specific country’s things. Given what I’ve heard, I suspect I’d like some from every country, but the one I’m most intrigued by is actually Australia – they eat weird stuff!

    • universalyums
      11.01.14

      We promise we’ll only send really yummy snacks to you! Australia is one we’ll have to consider – I hear they have a really unique honeycomb candy bar.
