Jokingly among friends we call Hawaii a different country. For those who are not well-versed in geography, Hawaii is an American state in the middle of the Central Pacific Ocean. Recently the aforementioned friends took a trip to this tropical state and returned with some goodies for us. Although we are "World of Snacks" and typically we focus on snacks from around the world, Hawaii is physically around the world and we felt it would be a great fit!  The not foreign but almost foreign gift appears to be one of the airport gift shop or hotel lobby variety. Which is completely cool with us - we love free snacks! It's a package that contains some dried mango, coffee, and chocolate cups. It also has some shiny stuff in the bottom - we guess it's to make it more gift like.  Mango with Li Hing Powder Didn't notice the mango? Yeah, neither did we. This giant package of dried mango from Lin's Market on Honolulu was hiding in the back and we were excited to find it. So we've had dried mango before, in fact we sell some pretty awesome dried mango here on our site. But we've never had Li Hing Powder. A quick Google search tells us that it's an acquired taste that is a blend of sweet, sour, and salty. I had a hard time distinguishing each, but the blend really accents the mango and over all this is a pretty awesome Hawaiian snack.  Royal Kona Coffee Coffee? That's not a snack. Sure it is. In fact we just added some pretty awesome coffee and tea from Thailand to our store. Outside of World of Snacks we are coffee fanatics. I start my day with a slow process ritual each morning of grinding my beans making my coffee (well, my partner makes me coffee - but it takes her a long time!). This coffee is made by a company called Royal Kona and it's their Mountain Roast Blend that comprises 10% Kona Coffee. Hawaiian coffee is a big deal. It grows in volcanic soil with cool island breezes and gentle rains. It smells awesome. So how does it taste? Ask me in the morning, it's too late for coffee - but I am really looking forward to trying this one.  Hawaiian Host Macnut Crunch Everyone loves chocolate, including us (we own a snack store - how could we not?). So when we saw there was not one, but two packs of chocolate we got pretty excited! The Hawaiian Host Macnut Crunch is jam packed with Macadamias and Crisp Rice. We are not kidding about it being "jammed packed." Look above, you see what we are talking about. It's a great candy and we suggest you hop on a plane to Hawaii now so you can try it for yourself. Well there you have it. Thanks to our friends who brought us back a "sweet" gift. Do you have something you'd like us to review? Hit us up and we can review your snacks here on our blog. However, what we'd really like you to do is go buy a ton of snacks from our international snack store. As always, keep on snacking world!
