Chocolates of the World (pt.2)- Japan & Korea!


Here are more Chocolates of the World that I found by simply visiting my local Asian/Oriental grocery stores- turns out they have some great choc products and packaging! I found choc cookies, ice cream bars, cakes, and a few choc bars. It's mostly quite good and tasty- not as high quality or fancy as European choc but yummy nontheless, and not expensive at all. This entire haul cost less than $30! Another bonus is that within the packages many items are individually wrapped so they will stay fresh longer and are perfect for sharing- gotta share the love :)

I really love the Japanese stuff. Both their chocolate and gummi items are top notch. Even though it's not chocolate, the Chelsea toffee packaging is lovely, see if you can find some.

They're really cute, with floral print designs:

Yes, they call it the "Taste of Scotland" or something like that, but it's made by Meiji, one of the major Japanese confectionery companies. (About a dollar a box at the Japanese grocery I go to.)
