This is another Oddeaties entry written by my girlfriend. There’s only a couple of these left, so bear with me/us!
As we polish off some of the tasty treats we got from Mexgrocer, we come to Carlos V milk chocolate bars. It is a straight up chocolate candy bar by all appearances, but listed as a “milk chocolate style bar” – is that like “fruit drink” instead of “fruit juice”?
One of the innate problems of starting an odd foods blog is pretty much trying to unearth the odd foods to begin with. When I still lived in New York City, I could have walked anywhere in 10 minutes and found something strange. However, around here in Wisconsin, this is not always the case.
Alex and I decided to look online for new and exciting snacks and foods to try to help get the blog going and one of the places we looked was Mexgrocer.com. I had tried a lot of Mexican food while living in the city, but on the site we found an amazing selection of candies and treats I had never heard before.
The main one I have tried so far is called De La Rosa Mazapan. Alex swears by these candies as his stepfather used to pick them up at the market sometimes. I didn’t know what to expect other than that it was made from peanuts. I like peanuts though, so it couldn’t be bad. I also hoped I’d enjoy it, as we’d gotten a 30 piece box. Oy!
