Blake’s Seed-Based Crispy Treat, Birthday Cake
A sweet, crunchy celebration in every bite! These are a fantastic upgrade from classic crispy treats — light, not too sugary, with a fun birthday cake flavor that’s actually subtle and satisfying. The puffed rice texture is perfect, and the sprinkles add a little joy without going over the top. What makes them stand out is how allergy-friendly they are: gluten-free, nut-free, vegan, and school-safe, but still delicious, seeds instead of nuts. Perfect for lunch bags, snack breaks, or a mid-day celebration anytime, anywhere. Sprinkles included.

ISSEI Mochi Gummies, Tangerine
Bright and bouncy, the tangerine flavor brings a fresh citrus zing that feels like a sunbeam. Each bite starts with a soft resistance, the signature mochi squish, then gives way to a juicy tang that’s both nostalgic and new. The flavor is clean and natural, avoiding that artificial citrus aftertaste some gummies have. It’s the most refreshing of the trio, like a gentle wake-up call in candy form.
4.5/5.0
ISSEI Mochi Gummies, Strawberry
Soft, sweet, and a little dreamy. The strawberry flavor is classic — reminiscent of Japanese strawberry milk or a mellow fruit jam. The chewy mochi outer layer gives it a pleasant tactile dimension, while the inside melts just enough to release the flavor slowly. It’s comforting and delicate, with a candy-store-meets-farmers-market vibe.
4.5/5.0
Vegobears Gummy Bears, Foamy, Malibu
These foamy gummy bears are a delightful treat. The texture is soft and satisfyingly chewy, and the flavors are vibrant and fruity without being overly sweet. I can see why they call it foamy, they have a marshmellow-like feel to them but they don’t actualy have foam. They feel like a fun, guilt-free indulgence with a great balance of taste and consistency. I would have these again but will probably explore their other two flavors and see which ones might be best. Overall, they’re a solid 4.5.

Misfits Plant-Based Protein Bar, Cookie Butter
The rich caramelized biscuit flavor immediately drew me in, offering a delightful depth that’s complemented by a hint of warm cinnamon. The fudgy texture is indulgent and satisfying, striking the perfect balance between chewy and gooey, reminiscent of a high-end candy bar. The sprinkle of cocoa crispies adds a playful, cookie-like crunch that takes the experience to the next level, providing just the right amount of texture contrast. Besides good taste, it delivers on the nutritional front as well. Perfect treat if you’re on the go, post-workout, or simply craving something sweet.
4.5/5.0
Vegobears Gummy Bears, Fruity, Santa Monica
Not your typical gummy bears. A pleasant, fruity vegan gummy. Nice texture and flavor, though I personally prefer the Malibu flavor for its extra brightness. Still a solid sweet treat.

BonBon Gummy Fish Candy, Sour Blackberry
I tried BonBon candy sometime back and it did not disappoint. On a trip to the MoMA Design Store, I spotted these gummies by the register and decided to give them a try. What immediately caught my eye was the Vegan label, finding good vegan gummy candy can be a challenge these days. These gummies have a vibrant hue and a delightful balance of sweetness and tartness, delivering a burst of berry bliss with every chew. While they’re labeled as blackberry-flavored, I found the taste closer to raspberry or grape. They weren’t as sour as I expected, and I’m still deciding if that’s a pro or a con but they’re undeniably tasty! Now I’m curious to try their other flavors like Wild Strawberry, Elderflower, and Peach, all sour varieties. If they’re anything like these, I’m sure they’ll be just as good!

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.

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 is my favorite brand for kombucha thus far. The ingredients are top notch and actually feels like a healthy bev.

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! ♡

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.

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.

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.

Belvoir Fruit Farms Natural Elderflower & Rose Lemonade
Almost perfect, just wish it wasn’t too sweet. It’s also quite expensive for its size. Usually available at Whole Foods Market. It definitely has a great crisp flavor of elderflower with a hint of rose. It is a very light refreshing floral drink, perfect to take on outdoor activities.

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.

Tabitha Brown Roasted Garlic & Parmesan
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.
