Spring Home peanut flavored glutinous rice balls: Small, frozen rice balls with a peanut filling consisting of a thick paste and bits of peanuts. The texture of the peanut filling is not very good, and it gets stuck in your teeth. Not too sweet (contains 4g of sugar per serving). 2.5/5.0

Maltesers malt balls: milk chocolate covered malt balls from Australia. Originally marketed as a lighter way to enjoy chocolate due to its honeycomb center, which is more air than actual product.

Chiki Snack cheese balls: This is the first in a series of #munchpak snack reviews. Chiki balls are puffed corn and rice cheese balls from Indonesia. While the packaging is foreign, the flavor is all too familiar, with a styrofoam texture and ingredients like \"flavor enhancers\" and MSG. In some ways, I take comfort that perhaps anywhere you go in the world, you'll come across this junk food standard. But if you really think about it, it's a little depressing. 2.0/5.0
