I guess I get to start off the brags for this fabulous swap! :frolic:
My partner was NoDivision and I think they know what types of candies I like better then I know myself. o_o
Here is the whole lot unopened, I'm already in trouble with the Albanese gummy candys, I'm such a sucker for brightly colored candies.

That is an amazing box!!! Congrats!

::grabby hands::
chocolate-covered gummy bears? how have I never heard of these??
I KNOW!? I'm determined to not eat them all at once xD I must try and make them sometime soon
-
Oh wow it looks all so yummy!
Cool box :yummy: :biggrin:
-
Chocolate covered gummy bears are pretty much the best thing ever, I love them. And how could I not send gummy bear stickers for this swap? Heh. Have fun with the kits! I've done a few of them and they're pretty fun ^_^
-
Oh my gosh!!! That is so cool :)
-
The Japanese candy kits look so fun!

Wow... I can't believe the price tag on shipping alone for the awesome box I received $26+..... I can only imagine what the cost to ship my box to my partner might be....
Lots of gummies and taffy. I got my first Blindbags made into a really neat keychain! A lovely box with a lovely local touch and just perfect to suit my sweettooth! Thank you so much Corona- It brought childhood memories back to my roomie who once lived in CA!
My photos do not do the box justice.

My cat, Isis, decided to help me sort through the candy to decided what to eat next.
Thank you so much Mirnyj! I love my box and can't wait to try everything.
-
Very cool!
-
so cool,. love those frozen eggs!
-
I thought Kinder Eggs were illegal to bring to the US? Did that change or did they get sneaked pass? :lol:
-
Ohhh MLP eggs??? :shocked:
This box looks very interesting :D
-
*stalking*
So jealous of the kinder egg!
-
I thought Kinder Eggs were illegal to bring to the US?
They are but they seem to sneak in quite easily. ^.^
-
yum yum! All sorts of fun things! I love the prize eggs.
-
My box is here from Saja!

Thank you so much Saja, I love everything! I can't wait to try those TimTams, I've never tried them before.
-
Ooh yum lots of tasty looking things! It's making me hungry, I want my box now!
-
It's making me hungry, I want my box now!
I know, right?? ;)
-
Ooh yum lots of tasty looking things! It's making me hungry, I want my box now!
Me too! I am trying to be patient (which is already not my strong suit), but seeing all these delicious candy brags has got my sweet tooth going!
I'm nibbling on a fruit flavored mochi right now from my last trip to the Asian Market. :)
~Jennifer
-
some how iv been good and I still have candy xD *slowly is eating through it though* ^^
I cant wait for my partner to get their box!
-
love all the boxes so far! so much yummy goodness. :)
-
Oooo! Tim-tams are really yummy :)
My hubby does the Tim-Tam Slam whevever I order some. It's where you have a cup of a hot beverage (coffee, hot chocolate, etc) and bite a little bit off of the corners on opposite ends. Then you use the tim tam like a straw and suck out the liquid until it just touches your lips and then eat the Tim-Tam before it falls apart. It's fun to watch :P
-
tim tam slams are the best. I love it best with the caramel ones, then the caramel gets all gooey and it's soooo good *drool*
The problem with swaps for me is that I have a PO box so since I don't know when things are coming I have to go to the post office every day to check! It does not help with the impatience.
-
Im in patient also! But am abit more patient now my partners box has arrived. Phew. glad it made it!
-
Ooh yum lots of tasty looking things! It's making me hungry, I want my box now!
Totally this :D
-
Fist of all, I'm sorry for being kinda absent for a while. We moved house a week ago and I'm only now that there are only a few more boxes to unpack starting to get over the stress... :freak:
Wonderful boxes so far! :)
True / I once had a mint aero bar and it was fantastic! :dribble: Those foreign candies look so cool too, I've never seen them before! And the gummy bear sticker make me a bit green. :P
Chip / Your box looks so fun and colorful, congrats! ^.^ The key chain is pretty awesome!
Mori / Yay! I'm so happy to hear that you liked it all! I just had to sneak in a few surprise eggs, it being almost easter and all... :snicker:
Scraleos / What on earth are those little monster thingies?? They look so cute! :lovey:
I thought Kinder Eggs were illegal to bring to the US? Did that change or did they get sneaked pass? :lol:
They kinda are. :lookround: But when you put on your customs form that the box contains "candy and chocolate", I don't think the customs officials are too keen on digging into it. :P
Ohhh MLP eggs??? :shocked:
They look better than they are. :P They're quite expensive and don't even have ponies as surprises, just hair clips, badges or temp tattoos. And not that many different ones of those either. -_-
I can't wait to get to see what my box holds! :newpony:
-
I think what makes me even more impatient is the fact that my mail dosen't get delivered until AFTER 5 PM >_<
This stupid town only has like 2000 people in it.
-
I think I've received the coolest candy swap box on earth lol
Thank's a ton svarta-perlan I'll enjoy trying all the candy's and chocolate also thank you for the extras and and and the Custom baby!! *awwww*

Thank you thank you thank you! =) :heart:
I'm a super happy Berry today.
Already tried the chocolate dragee with the liquorice core and what can I say ... I already ate half of the bag :lookround:
I love chocolate with liqorice and as far as I saw it right a have a few things left *nom nom*
Also thank's for the Galaxy chocolate had the last on in December ... too long ago.
:hug:
-
awwww I'm so glad the box arrived, and with everything intact! <3 I hope you'll enjoy all the candies and chocolates... and you can ask me if there's anything you're not sure about. XD I wanted to send more licorice covered in chocolate, but some of it contains gelatin, so yeah... :/ but at least you get a good variety of icelandic goodies!
the custom baby was the only custom pony I had... I got her long ago and well, I don't collect customs, so when I saw that she's your favorite pony, I knew you had to have her! <3
-
Oooh. I wanna try Icelandic candies!
-
That little custom is soo cute!! The little monster things were little cake toppers :)

My stuffs from Berrymouse.
Each bag had a note with it but my dumbass removed all the notes -_-
She sent my a variety of German Chocolates, some are not really visibale in the pic though.

and homemade lollipops

And I am not really sure what this is...But I'm thinking its some kind of rice paper food type of thing?
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
and the first thing I tried were the big pastel disks. OMG :biggrin: I was not expecting there to be powdered sour candy in the middle! And then I had some chocolate eggs that popped when inside my mouth. I liked those. There is also some type of fudge that I tried too. so much goodness :frolic:
Ooh and tea too :lovey: and marshmellos
-
So many yummy looking boxes so far!
CottonTALE your scaly children are so cute.
I thought Kinder Eggs were illegal to bring to the US? Did that change or did they get sneaked pass? :lol:
They kinda are. :lookround: But when you put on your customs form that the box contains "candy and chocolate", I don't think the customs officials are too keen on digging into it. :P
Mmmmmmmm.... Kinder Eggs most delicious contraband ever! :lol: Thank you again for the eggs and all the other goodies. I've liked everything so far.
-
svarta-perlan I am so happy you like it! I had so much fun xD. I was worried it might seem a bit boring being all chocolate but it seemed like that would be ok with you. So I hope you dont mind. I swear every time I thought I was done, id go to a shop and find some other weird chocolate that I just had to add.
I had to hide the snowbirds from my mom, she is totally crazy for them. I am very curious to see what you think of them. I think they might have gone against your likes a tad but since its the only thing that I could send that was "local" i had to do it anyway, and who knows you might actually like them. Its quite a big box but that is actually the "small" size. o_o
-
and the first thing I tried were the big pastel disks. OMG :biggrin: I was not expecting there to be powdered sour candy in the middle!
I LOVE these. The ones I sometimes see in the US have little hard candies kind of like nerds in them. I like the powder kind so much better. Yum yum.
-
Glad you like the box tiki =)
It was hard to buy stuff what's only available here in Germany we have so much stuff they sell all over the world.
Oh and I think that Hello Kitty "Esspapier" is something like host "wafer" just colored.
In english translation for the german word would be eatable paper lol
Those Ufo's filled with sherbert is the same "material" :D
-
Yay, so many great boxes! Everyone has done such a wonderful job! ^.^
-
I'm glad that the box arrived so quickly and also glad to hear that Mr. Tales enjoyed his treats- I like to include the "family members" in my swapping.
Look at all the boxes rolling in!
-
Heres my goodies from Mori Lestrange. thanks so much, so many things ive never heard of!!! Love the marshmallow bunnies and the lipbalm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YUMMO
thanks heaps. I have rationed it all out so it will last., lol but thanks, love the RD Funko too!!! Just what ive always wanted, so thanks for such a personal box!!!

Thank you Jennifer for a wonderful package! :squee: You're an excellent candy tetris player, I have no idea how you managed to fit all this in that small box! :lol: Boyfriend says thank you, he was very taken by the fact that you included something for him too. ^.^ I LOVE the siamese cat beanie, and those Lion King stickers made the box feel even more personal.

Just look at that pile of candy! It's going to be a real challenge to stick with my diet with all that candy in the house. :snicker: Everything looks so yummy, and most of this stuff I've never tasted before. ^.^
-
yum yum! More delicious looking boxes.
-
Yay! I'm glad to hear your box arrived safely Mirnyj! I tried to tetris in as many different kinds of candy as I could. I went to a bunch of local shops to try and find a big variety of all different candies. Some of those candies I hadn't even seen myself before this swap. Glad to hear that you liked the extras too. I couldn't just send a box of candy, I had to make it personal somehow. :)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now it's time for my brag! Yep that's right, my box arrived today and it is awesome! :newpony:
My box was from the wonderful wiccanpony1! She totally spoiled me!
There was a knock at the door this morning and when I got there I saw a package sitting in the entry way. It was covered with these cute Despicable Me 2 stickers.

I open the box and the first thing I notice is this cute little Happy Easter card:

There was so much candy packed into this box I don't know where to start. Here is all the chocolate and candy bars. I have never tried any of these. I have had Kit Kats before, but these are different. I've always wanted to try a Turkish Delight and now I can! The only Cadbury chocolate we have here are Cadbury creme eggs and I love them, so I was super excited to see so many different kinds of Cadbury chocolates! I can't wait to try them all! And I was really excited to see the Crunchie bars, we don't have any honeycomb candy here and I've always wanted to try some!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
Honestly, I would have been happy with just that, but there's more! So much more! Here is all the non chocolate candy. I haven't even heard of any of these! So many new things to try! I don't know what I want to try first! I'm really going to have to watch myself and make sure I don't eat too much at once! :P
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
But wait, there's more! Here are all the non candy snacks! Two packs of hot chocolate mix! I love hot chocolate and I can't wait to try these! The Fish n Chips packaging is awesome, and I love salt & vinegar flavored chips. The gingerbread men are so cute, and I love gingerbread too.

And finally, you can't have a box of Easter candy without eggs right? I was super excited to see the Kinder Eggs. I have always wanted to try them! I was really hoping to get one in this swap, and I got three! And some Cadbury creme eggs, hands down my favorite Easter candy of all time! Although they are also the only thing in this box I've actually tried before, so who knows maybe I'll have a new favorite by the time I'm done. ;)

And now for the extras! I know you probably can't believe it, but there really is more! Frozen Panini stickers, I didn't even know they made these! I'm crazy obsessed with Frozen so I was so excited to see these! The adorable little duck is actually lip gloss. So cute! I love the pencil, it's adorable and a great way to remember where my box came from! And although I don't actively collect G4s, I do watch FiM and Apple Bloom is one of my favorites from the show. As soon as I saw her in the box, I fell in love! She is now one of three G4s in my herd, the cutest one too! ^.^

I don't know how you did it wiccanpony1 but you managed to hit so many of my likes with this box even though I have never even tried any of these candies before, heck I haven't even heard of most of them. There is not one item in this box that I wasn't super excited to see, everything thing you picked out for me was literally spot on! You put a lot of thought into this box and it really shows. I can't say thank you enough. It's crazy how super excited and happy I feel, and I haven't even eaten any of the candy yet! Thanks again wiccanpony1! You were truly an amazing swap partner! :hug:

I'm so glad you liked it! I went to a giant candy warehouse in Cleveland and tried to find things I didn't think you could get in Australia.

Delayed brag, but here's my awesome box from CottonTALE! First, this adorable note with her pony OC and Duster enjoying some candy. Currently stuck on my fridge.

Then everything wrapped all pretty!
visitors can't see pics , please register or login
And unwrapped! CottonTALE outdid herself and fed my weird addiction to candy and obscure trivia all in one! All those notes are fun facts having to do with the candy it was wrapped with (and one recipe which is actually for a treat I had in my childhood. I never got the recipe for it and now I have it!)

Thanks for the amazing box, CottonTALE! Can't wait to dig in!

I'm so glad you like your box, Corona :D
I tried my best to include little tid-bits and facts to make it fun (I too am a trivia-nut :P) we almost mailed you a lizard, as one of our scaley babies kept wanting to go in the box to look around.
-
Luv all the boxes
Oh and salt & vinegar fish :heart:
And that R2D2 is also cool!!
I'm sad that this swap is almost over... I already ate few things out of my box (luv the Lindu buff and staur - also the swedish fish are long gone lol) but I'm afraid I'm running out of cool foreign candy when eat them all too fast..... argh!
-
same here..need more candy...
-
Wooo! My turn!
I got super excited to see a box from the UK waiting for me at the post office. Bonus point for a welsh customs form! I think Welsh is such a cool langauge. And that meant it was from Scraleos!
Here's everything right out of the box. I squealed out loud as I was pulling things out. Mostly over the giant bag of bananas!

Everything all unpacked

So much goodness! Everything here is so exciting to me. Lots of nostalgic favorites from my childhood. In the panda bag are some old fashioned hard sweets - pear drops and rhubarb and custard. And the parma violets! You just don't find things like that here.
Thank you SO MUCH, Scraleos, for putting so much effort into finding some of my old favorites for me. I'm so grateful <3
Now I just have to manage to not shove it all in my face at once!
-
Awesome brags! I am drooling over those Fruit Pastilles....those are one of my most favorite candies ever. They are hard to find here and pricey at import stores.
Hmm.... I wish I hadn't been on a hiatus from here for a while. I would have really liked to have joined this swap, especially if whoever got me had access to Canadian candy. My brother really wants some Wonderbars and I want some Coffee Crisps. Maybe I should find a Canadian member who would like to do a candy swap with me.
-
I'm SO glad you like everything NoDivision!! I find it really strange that you can't find some of these sweets in America, as I see them everyday! I guess it's the same thing with me like American candy lol
-
Does that one say curlywurly??
What on earth is that?
-
It does say curlywurly :D It's delicious. It's caramel covered in chocolate.
