Brand: Lyx Cost: 39 KR Found at: Coop In the spirit of Christmas, today’s post will be set to the tune of “Away in a Manger.” ~*~ I found them while shopping Couldn’t understand why - Five marzipan piglets All lined up to buy. I asked my Swede boyfriend The reason and rhyme.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Morrisons Cost: £2 Found at: Morrison's In the flurry of holiday fervor and election drama, I decided to splash out on a holiday treat that simultaneously projects my liberal sensibilities. And what better option than a Florentine? This collection of nuts held together by caramel, and dipped in chocolate is truly a Brexiter’s... Continue Reading →
Brand: Cadbury Cost: 70p Found at: Tesco There is not enough yes in the world to describe how I feel about this candy bar. I’ve been playing candy bar junior varsity my whole life, and I’ve just been brought up to the big leagues. This candy bar is positively phe-no-me-nal. There are some... Continue Reading →
Brand: OLW Cost: 9.95 KR Found at: Coop I have gotten into a vicious spiral with these chocolates. I buy one for the blog.

Brand: Cloetta Cost: 7.95KR Found at: Coop The Swedish are very Kex positive. And Kex is very Swedish positive. This chocolate bar is absolutely a Swedish institution.

Brand: Sina Cost: 7KR Found at: Asian Market Everyone should keep a box of these in their car. If you’ve never had them, I recommend a trip to your nearest Asian grocery store. They are a chewy, ginger-based candy that are about an inch long and about the consistency of a caramel. They come... Continue Reading →
Brand: Frazer Found at: Coop Cost: 15KR The show MadMen is something of a running family joke. My grandfather was just such an adman in the 60s, and the domestic life depicted in the early seasons is something my mother loves to reference to help explain her own upbringing. There was certainly not as... Continue Reading →
Brand: Kabaya Cost: 200 yen Found at: Lawson’s Spring is just barely here and already I am beginning to dread the summer – both for the sweltering heat and for the unflattering summer fashions that make me look like a sweaty mole rat that’s burrowed through the sale rack of an H&M.
