Kras Tortica Jadro: This square-shaped Croatian wafer snack is filled with hazelnut and chocolate creme. Think Nutella sandwiched between chocolate-colored crispy wafers. Okay overall. 2.5/5.0

Abdallah vanilla cream caramels: Wanting to bring back a local confectionary, I walked through several terminals at MSP in Minnesota and came across this brand. I was sold by the golden Made in Minnesota seal as well as the non-chocolate options. Each piece is substantial and has a classic, buttery richness. As someone who loves caramel candies, I'm a fan. 3.5/5.0

Guarna Antartica soda: From Brazil, this soft drink is named after the seeds of the native plant Guarna. The flavor is a tart yet highly diluted fruit drink. Slightly less sugary than other carbonated alternatives. 2.5/5.0

Chin Chin grass jelly drink: I'm a big fan of gelatin in drinks, from boba to grass jelly. For those who haven't had grass jelly before, it's not chewy like boba but soft (it's less firm than jello). Unfortunately, the drink overall is too sweet, though the grass jelly adds a slightly medicinal flavor that cuts through. Because the jelly settles to the bottom of the can, much goes to waste after the liquid runs out. A good companion, though, to spiced Asian food. 3.0/5.0

Siggi's strawberry and rhubarb yogurt: Thick skyr-style yogurt that tastes slightly sweeter than other Siggi's I've had. Small bits of rhubarb are scattered throughout but don't contribute much to the flavor overall. Rich and filling, with a substantial amount of protein. Solid, but not one of the better Siggi's flavors. 3.5/5.0

Siggi's mixed berries yogurt: I tend not to find mixed berry flavors to be very interesting, and Siggi's take is not any different than what you would expect. It's strength comes from its thick consistency and high protein content, though you can find this in other Siggis's products, and I suggest you do. 3.0/5.0
