Halloween treats from Foodesu! (part 1)

Hey everyone! Today I want to share with you some 2spooky treats I received from FoodesuBoxco! 

Since I didn't order a September box fast enough, I decided to order two samplers to feed my candy fix. This will be part one of my Halloween FoodesuBoxco review~

 My samplers arrived very quickly in a medium sized envelope

 LOOK AT ALL THAT SPOOKY GOODNESS *o*

I'm not sure which sampler had which items because they were packaged together, but either way it was a GLORIOUS SIGHT 

First off, check out this adorable skull coffin I received in the Halloween sampler :w:

 

  I love that it looks handmade, and the gold and black goes really well together! And the best part is....

 IT CAN HOLD UT'S (☆▽☆) Also since it's a coffin, it's perfect for this exact purpose :w:

(disclaimer: Undertakers not included) 

 The first treat I received in my sampler was this cool looking little green cake!

The cake was like...so perfectly shaped xD Inside it was green, and it tasted REALLY good *3* It was also very light and moist, especially for a packaged dessert. 10/10 would eat like twenty of these

The next items I received were more cakes! (*･▽･*) 

 These two were banana flavored cakes, and like the first one, were very fluffy and moist(￣▽￣) These cakes had a thin layer of banana cream filling inside with some sugar on the outside. DELISH

The next goodies I got were inside a spooky eyeball bag xD Kind of reminds me of Junji Ito

Inside were a pack of strawberry pocky and two crackers!

The crackers had sort of an oriental cracker taste (you know those little spicy/crunchy crackers that are called "Oriental Mix" that you find at 7-11) They were very tasty -w-

 And the strawberry pocky tasted like, well, strawberry pocky xD 

 Next up, I received a little baggy of Hello Kitty crackers!

 These were like butter crackers, and were also very yummy( ﾟ▽ﾟ)

  The next candy I got was this Halloweeny lollipop!

If I remember correctly, it had a caramel taste!

 Next, I received some ginger candies and Hello Kitty candies! They kind of look like smarties, but taste like soda candy xD 

 And, last but not least, I received this cute little pumpkin badge!

 On the back of the paper was a note reminding me to enter the monthly FoodesuBoxCo giveaway! (which I did!) Also, I ended up wearing the badge to work, which a lot of people loved  （‐＾▽＾‐）

quality:♥♥♥♥♥

I absolutely LOVED the samplers for this month! Not only did I get spooky candies and CAKE, but I also received a mini coffin and a badge! I really love when candy places send out non-edible goodies along with edible ones~

shipping:♥♥♥♥♥ 
The samplers arrived in less than a week and a half, and came with everything packaged nicely and nothing was squished~! Shipping cost was about $2.50

Cost:♥♥♥♥♥
The cost of the two samplers was $4 each + shipping came to a total of $10.79! That was a great price for all the snacks I got, plus the combined samplers were nearly as much candy as a regular sized box（*´▽｀*）

Overall:♥♥♥♥♥
Overall, I was once again extremely happy with my order from FoodesuBoxCo! My snacks arrived quickly and safely, I got some adorable Halloween extras, and the little cakes especially were amazing *O* I really appreciated the effort that went into making these samplers Halloween themed and delicious!

Thank you FoodesuBoxCo for the amazing Halloween samplers! Also, part 2 of the FoodesuBoxCo Halloween review will be posted soon!

Thank you for reading!

  

 

Foodesu candy box! August review

(get 10% off using the code "peachbooty" when you order from Foodesu!)
Hey everyone! Today I want to share with you an awesome candy box I got from Foodesu Box Co! Foodesu is a Japanese candy store that Japanese candy boxes and samplers, as well as indivudual candies!

The Foodesu Box (standard box) contains anywhere from 5-10 full sized snacks and at least one DIY kit for a total of $20!  Plus, Foodesu has added an option to have a gachapon included in your box for only $1.25 extra! 

Foodesu also sells candy sampler packages, which contain twelve small snacks, and on occasion, a few full-sized ones! (check out my review for the Foodesu sampler here)
 

 My Foodesu goodies came in a large brown envelope, with a kawaii face drawn on the front saying "handle me with care, I'm fragile!" (Which is very important when your mailman tends to shove your precious packages in your teeny mailbox ;o; )

The envelope cam sealed with the. most. adorable. tape. EVER. Look at those little burgers and corn dogs with faces (I actually peeled the tape off super carefully and kept it xD)

The candies came wrapped in adorable pink wrapping paper with little sparkly sequins on it, along with a thank you note

 The note was hand-written in pink pen~ PLUS I received two peices of cute note paper!! (＾▽＾) Thank youu~

look at that glorious feast
I received one DIY kit, four full-sized candies, AND a baggie of littel candies!! ( ﾟ∀ ﾟ) 

Strawberry Taiyaki Fish

 The first candy I got was a strawberry taiyaki fish! (I love pink. I love fishies. I love this.) The wrapper was light pink with shiny little magenta polka dots on it~

 The taiyaki candy was a pale pink and a lot larger than I expected! (about the size of my hand). on the outside it was a flakey, almost wafer-like texture with an airy, strawberry mousse filling (-v- ) perfection. 

Lotte Star Wars chocolate wafer

 The next candy I received was a Lotte Star Wars chocolate-filled wafer bar! I really love the Lotte wafers because they have very colorful and cute artwork

Guest appearance: Space Armin

Two wafers with chocolate filling in the middle! Plus, inside was a shiny Star Wars sticker :D I have no clue who it is

Umaibo Teriyaki Burger

The next candy I got was an Umaibo Teriyaki Burger! 

 As you can see, it is not actually burger-it's a large, teriyaki-flavored corn puff! (basically) It tasted AMAZING. It was very light and crispy, with a powerful teriyaki chip flavor. I could have eaten about ten more

Watapachi Watermelon Popping Candy Floss 

 that's a mouthful to say

Watapachi Watermelon candy, aka cotton candy rectangle with awesome packaging

 Plus, on the back of each package is a little comic!

What happens when you mix watermelon-flavored cotton candy with pop rocks?

beautiful things.

This candy really is a piece of watermelon cotton candy with pop rocks inside! It's sour but not too sour, and satisfies any sour/sugary candy cravings you have! Plus, the pop rock pieces inside give it a nice crunch (*≧▽≦) (I received the grape version in another candy box, and it wasn't nearly as good as this one)

Okashi Na Mizu Ame DIY

(I love the little ghost up there)

Okashi Na mizu Ame candy is suppsed to be a color-changing AND flavor changing DIY kit!

 Time to get making!

The kit included a clear plastic mixing tray, a little mixing spatula, and three liquid candy flavor packets (Ramune, Lemon, and Strawberry)

 (I found all the instructions for this DIY kit here!)

 Step 1: pour Ramune liquid into tray and taste

Step 2: Add in the lemon liquid, stir, then take another taste (tasted like...lemon and Ramune)

Step 3: add in the strawberry liquid, stir, aaandd...

Ta daaa! After maybe ten seconds of stirring, the candy should begin to turn purple. I took a taste,and the candy tasted like grape! So with my limited mathmatics skills, I have concluded that Ramune+Lemon+Strawberry=Grape....not sure how that works out, but it did *0* DIY kits are magical, aren't they?

Candy Goodie bag

Last but not least, I was sent a small goodie bag of random tiny candies! 

(Green seemed to be a big theme this time)

Inside the bag were a mini jello, a guava hard candy, a melon Milkita, and a little container of stickers! (☆▽☆) how cute!

(close up of sticker chips) AHHH they're sparkly and food-shaped and cute (●♡∀♡) I love them !

quality:♥♥♥♥♥

I was absolutely in love with this candy package! It was like only the best, cutest, and most fun candies were chosen~ I think the taiyaki was my favorite~

Shipping: ♥♥♥♥♥

Shipping was free, so that's ALWAYS great! It arrived within a few days from the time I received the email that it had been sent out

cost:♥♥♥♥♥

Each Foodesu box is only $20, which is cheaper than many other boxes this size

overall:♥♥♥♥♥

Overall, I was very happy with this candy box! Shipping was free and quick, the candy was a reasonable price, and only the most delicious candies were chosen, in my opinion~ I had a great time tasting each candy and making the DIY kit, plus it was just enough candy for me to be able to finish in one day! (some candy boxes send TONS, which isn't bad, but after the first day I am candied out with a box of opened, leftover candy that may not get eaten ;o;) 

Also, I would highly recommend Foodesu as a Japanese candy box for anyone just getting into Japanese candy, or for those who can't or don't want to commit themselves to a monthly charge. Because Foodesu boxes are ordered through storenvy, you can buy boxes and samplers as you please, and not be forced to subscribe and cancel every time you want a candy box. Foodesu Box Co gets five shiny stars this month for awesome candy!

Want to try Foodesu yourself? You can order your Foodesu box or sampler here! Foodesu also has just opened up a new candy shop selling individual candies from Japan, which you can check out here ~ You can use the code "peachbooty" to get 10% off your order!

Thank you Foodesu for the awesome candy box, and thank you everyone for reading!
