Hey Pandas, Share Some Hard-To-Find Candy Or Snacks!

We all love discovering new food, and it seems like the more we find, the more we realize is still out there waiting to be eaten. Of course the sweet, salty and snacky ones are the best for sharing!

So share some of the tasty stuff we don't know about yet! Maybe it's unique to one shop, maybe it comes from a small boutique, maybe it's something that doesn't get exported around the world, or maybe it's something you tried abroad and just can't find anywhere back home! Let us know about it, and maybe we can find it online...

My favorite candy in the world is Walker's Treacle Toffee which comes from one little toffee manufacturer in England. It's a hard chewy that softens up in your mouth in seconds, just enough to get stuck in your teeth. The taste is like a strong brown sugar & molasses type of caramel. Sometimes I can find their Creamy or Licorice flavored toffees in shops which are not bad, but the Treacle is their pièce de résistance that is a must-try!

I just looked at the Wikipedia article about them, they are really interesting. Maybe someday I will find some.

For reference, I currently live in America on the east coast, but I used to live in Japan.

Calpis / Calpico - A Japanese soft drink that is tangy and sweet. Its name was changed to Calpico for marketing in America, but despite this I cannot seem to find it in my area anywhere.

All Raisin - A type of cookie studded with raisins in Japan.

Calbee Garlic Chips - It's relatively easy to find Calbee's shrimp flavored chips here, but not the garlic ones.

Alford Dark Chocolate Biscuits - It's possible to find the milk chocolate ones, but I find those to be too sweet.

Salmiakki Koskenkorva - A type of Finnish liquor similar to vodka that is flavored to taste like salted black liquorice (yes, I understand that people hate black liquorice, salted or no, but I enjoy it because I have the genes that allow me to taste it fully. I'm aware that this will still get negative comments...). This isn't sold in America at all.

Proper Cadbury Cream Eggs - The ones you can buy in America at Easter are not the same as those produced in the UK. Put simply, the UK cream eggs are vastly superior. Eating an American cream egg only leads to disappointment.

It's the way they make their chocolate. USA tends to add a sort of oil or something that is not milk or cream. Go to Canada and our chocolate is an improvement. I heard chocolate companies think Americans and Canadians have different palates, so they adjust their recipes to accommodate different countries taste preferences. I'm not sure how scientifically correct that is but it's what I heard through the vine.

I bought a box of snacks from Japan and some soda. I can’t find ramune (soda) anywhere here. But that I can at least find online. There were these little panda faced cookies in the snack box and I LOVE them!! No words on the packaging other than ingredients and I want more. Can’t find them anywhere. So cute. So tasty.

Hello Panda is the snack cookie you're thinking of! Check for your local Asian market, as those and Ramune are popular.

Irn Bru chew bar sweets! They have a very unique taste - lovely sweet and sour thing going on.

There is a fizzy drink in the UK, most popular in Scotland, called Irn Bru (Iron Brew). It's bright orange and nobody can decide what it actually tastes like! It's tangy, a bit citrus-y and sweet. It's not as common in the rest of the UK now, it was big in the 90's - mid 00's though. The sweets were *amazing* but I haven't seen them on sale in England for a long time. Miss them so much!

I've had the drink! To me, it tastes like a flat Mountain Dew, even while it's still plenty fizzy. It's good, but maybe not as good as the Scots will tell you! 😅
