After the bitter disappointment of treats in my Greek Pack box, when I saw @bits.and.boxes IG of a new snack box that was filled to the brim with Scooby Snacks, I had to order one. And now I am staying with them! OMG. Wait until you see what I got… But first, what is Treats? Treats is an International Snack subscription service and every month, they will send you a box full of snacks (yes, it is a huge box!) from a different country. You can receive cookies, crackers, candy, chips and all sorts of yummy treats. They do not ship drinks. Depending on the subscription service you choose, you can 4 to 5 or 8 to 10 snacks ~ I can tell you, I got way more than 10 snacks in my box! - Standard Pack: 4 to 5 International Snacks $12.95/month - Premium Pack: 8 to 10 International Snacks $24.95/month USA shipping is included. International shipping rates are - Standard - Other all countries: $10.73 - Premium - Other all countries: $15.80 Okay, enough of that! I signed up for the Premium Box, because hey, in for a penny, in for a pound. Let’s get to the Unboxing! Informational Card This month’s Treats Box features snacks from Serbia and Croatia. This box WAS HUGE. A lovely handwritten card, thanking me for my purchase and also including an extra snack, from Germany! Told ya it was huge, didn’t I? Yep! Treats has thoughtfully put on their website the items and their descriptions and I don’t even need to do a breakdown here on the price. This box is worth more than what I paid for it, by far! I couldn’t try all of the snacks before this review ~ seriously, this box will last me until my next snack box, but what I did try, I will post pics and how it tasted. Smoki Snack (Serbia) Description: Smokis are crunchy peanut shaped pieces. They are supposed to be peanut flavored, but in fact taste better then peanuts because they embody a fuller taste – it not only tastes like peanuts but has a range of savory flavors complimenting it from the salt and seasoning on the peanut. The crunchy texture of the snack mixed with the savory taste makes this a delightful treat. Opinion/Taste: OMG, these are peanut butter puffs! So, tasty and light texture. I wish we had peanut butter puffs here in the states. I ate this whole bag at lunch time (blushes, walks away in shame) as I think this was supposed to be a multi-serving bag. haha Ingredients: Corn groats, peanuts (22%), vegetable fat (palm), soya flour salt Allergy Info: May contain traces of nuts, gluten and milk Prima Pretzel Sticks (Serbia) Description: Prima Preztel sticks are lightly salted pretzels sticks. They are savory and crunchy to the taste, and a local favorite in Serbia and Croatia. Opinion/Taste: These are thin, very crunchy pretzel sticks. They do not have a lot of salt on them, so if you are looking for a less salty pretzel, this is it. I love my pretzels salty, so while the taste was good, the lack of salt made me sad. Again, I think this bag was more than one serving as it was a big size. Ingredients: Wheat flour, vegetable fat (palm, coconut, sunflower), glucose syrup, maltose syrup, salt (2%), sea salt (1%), raising agent (E 503) Allergy info: Contains wheat Animal Kingdom (Croatia) Description: The Animal Kingdom is a thin piece of chocolate designed and packaged with a cute mascot (hence the name of the snack.)

With it’s thin texture, small size and cute packaging, the Animal Kingdom is especially popular with children. Opinion: I received a 6 pack of these!

An example of this is a popular commercial featuring the Hippo where where the Hippo sings “The Lion Sleeps Tonight” while a dog tried to distract him and catch his attention by dancing to the music with funny and bizarre moves. Opinion: This was an extra in my box and Treats suggests that I put it in my freezer before eating ~ My Happy Hippo is now nested in my freezer. This does sound good ~ I love cream fillings.

The taste, appearance and animal mascots/branding of this chocolate make it a very popular treat for children in Serbia and Croatia and it is a great tasting piece of chocolate.

If you like the taste of coconuts, you’ll love these chocolates. Opinion/Taste: I love Almond Joys, so I had to try this candy bar, of which I received 2 of them. Kidy Coconut Desert is a lot better than an Almond Joy ~ the coconut filling is more dense and packed, very chewy.

This is a very unique snack, we highly recommend you try it. Opinion: Oh WOW – another full sized box of cookies! These sounds very familiar to me ~ I wish I could place the snack I am thinking of. At any rate, there are 6 individual wrapped cookies in this box, so the filling will not go stale. I am normally not a fan of marshmallows, but I do make an exception when they are surrounded in chocolate! I can’t wait to try these.

Did I mention how much I love these types of creme cookies? This is another full box of cookies, containing 8 cookies or 2 servings (according to the package! haha) I could only eat two because of the sweetness.

Many of these snacks were multiple servings and the ones that were single servings, I received at least 2 of them. Yeah, I staying with this subscription box.
