Christmas came a little bit early for the two of us after receiving a box from Try The World



This particular box was Christmas themed with delicious delights from all over the world. Normally, 'Try The World' sends out food boxes from specific countries however, this special winter holiday festive themed box featured goodies from France, Italy, Holland, Switzerland, Brazil and Turkey.For this specific taste test we just tucked right in ) Without messing around, we quickly unwrapped the box to unveil what was inside.First up was a delicious Belgian waffle. We had never tried this kind of waffle before and it was really thin and sweet.Moving on we snapped our fingers before snapping out teeth into some delicious ginger snaps from Sweden. As our first time trying Swedish cookies we were left wanting more.How could any International Christmas box be complete without Swiss chocolate? This milk chocolate lived up to its Swiss reputation - creamy and smooth.Truffles, were next display. Italian truffles. In just one bite we realized that good things can come in small packages. They were truly decadent.To get a reign in on our out of control sweet tooth, we sipped on some spiced apple tea.Turkish Delight! Saving the best for last. This pistachio flavored bites of goodness was the highlight of the entire Christmas box. At least, it was for me )The last thing we tried was various spreads from Brazil.Overall, we had a lot of fun sampling all of these treats from around the world. What we'd like to know is what are your favorite Christmas themed treats?
