Scoring & Verdict


Cheetos Horneadoa Boliqueso

Score: 5.5 / 10

Review

Slightly more corn taste, less cheese flavor, as well as less coating and dirtying of your hands compared to regular cheese balls and Cheetos. I honestly prefer regular cheese balls and Cheetos because of the flavors specifically. These feel like a lighter version and rely more on a corn-like flavor, likely because they aren’t as cheesy, so the corn flavor comes through more. At the very least, they aren’t as messy and won’t leave your hands bright orange!


De Todito BBQ

Score: 6 / 10

Review

Three slightly different chips, all light to moderately crunchy, and all taste like a light pork with a hint of BBQ and salt. Yeah, the tastes are identical and seem to have rubbed off on one another. Also weirdly, they are all more or less uniform in texture despite being different types of chips. It could use more bold flavors and differentiating between the chips, in my opinion.


Alqueria Queso Con Bocadillo

Score: 6.5 / 10

Review

Both the cheese and guava are light-tasting and complement each other nicely. I can’t make out the cheese flavor exactly, unfortunately, however. It’s like an extremely light-tasting cheese that isn’t punchy, more providing a milky creaminess in contrast to the lightly sweet guava. Both parts are equally soft and easy to bite through. Overall, a good snack with pleasantly mild flavors that work well together.


Milo Chocolate Nuggets 

Score: 6.75 / 10

Review

A mild to moderate crunch from the crispy-rice-like inside. The crunch is quite satisfying, and it surprised me because it looks like it’ll be light and crispy, but it’s harder than that. It’s much more satisfying to bite through—not too airy or too hard either. The flavor is a darker, lightly sweet-tasting, malty chocolate. No bitterness is present, and it’s not too dark or overly malty like typical malt candy or treats. In my opinion, the texture and mouthfeel were the best part—the perfect crunch!


Jet Burbujas

Score: 7.75 / 10

Review

Reminds me of a Lindt truffle, just a different version. They’re equally good, with a sweet, extra-creamy, milky chocolate combination. Overall, it’s mostly chocolate tasting, with a mild arequipe and caramel-ish background, adding to the already creamy chocolate shell, and doing so exceptionally well. The shell itself provides a light crunch, revealing a slightly softer, half-filled, solidified arequipe inside.


Frito Lay Chokis

Score: 5.5 / 10

Review

Chokis have a very light sweetness and an airy, rice-filled interior, providing a light crunch. The outside is a thin, smooth layer of chocolate. The flavor is mild, corn-like, and chocolatey, though the dominant flavor remains milk chocolate. Overall, it’s a cheaper feeling and reminds me of penny candy.


Alquiera Obleas y Arequipe

Score: 7.5 / 10

Review

The obleas itself is just a plain, thin, lightly crunchy, flavorless wafer. But when combined with a layer of arequipe and another wafer tacked on top, it makes for a very tasty, wonderful mouthfeel. Essentially, it’s like an arequipe wafer sandwich! Lightly crunchy on the outside and soft inside, with a taste that’s not too sweet, providing an extra-creamy experience from the arequipe.


Margarita Pollo

Score: 5 / 10

Review

Your typical crunchy chips with a noticeable chicken taste. When I first bit in, I was taken aback — something about it tastes off and doesn’t feel right. They’re still not bad; it just feels like too much of an artificial chicken flavor instead of the real thing. More so, compared to other meaty chips, these taste more artificial and fake.


Jet Milk Chocolate Bars

Score: 7 / 10

Review

So cute! When you unwrap each of these little bars, you get a thin pamphlet with a picture of a random part of Colombia and information about it. The bars run a tad thin and overall remind me of a Hershey’s bar, perhaps a hint less sweet, but the taste and texture are more or less the same. They’re still reasonably sweet and very creamy! 


Supercoco Tirudito

Score: 3 / 10

Review

Like a thinner, longer Tootsie roll, but worse. They’re very chewy, almost hard, and have a cheap, mildly sweet, artificial chocolate. Not even a sense of coconut. At the very least, they eventually soften in your mouth, but it’s too little too late. Unpleasant to eat and not a great flavor.


Barrilete

Score: 5.5 / 10

Review

A mild to moderately sweet artificial candy. I can’t tell what the flavor is; it’s like sugar and a fruity candy. They taste cheap but are surprisingly addictive, especially the texture. The mouthfeel is moderately chewy and starts to melt in your mouth after a bit of chewing. 


Colombina Coffee Delight

Score: 4.5 / 10

Review

A coffee tasting sucking candy. It’s mildly sweet and not overtly strong or too bold. Not much else to say! Grandma candy!


Bubbalo Sparkies

Score: 2.5 / 10

Review

Small, lightly chewy, and… tastes like dish soap. Don’t ask how I know. It’s like a dish soap with a light, artificial sugary fruit taste.


Copelia Panelita De Dulce Con Leche Y Coco

Score: 8 / 10

Review

A lightly chewy, reasonably thick granola-like bar, but it feels even softer, resembling a baked oat bar. The taste is a sweet, creamy, and milky coconut flavor, with a light caramel-like background. Overall, it leans toward its sugary coconut flavor. Moreover, it’s exceptionally creamy, with a soft, slightly toasted mouthfeel that’s not enough to give it a full crunchy experience, but noticeable enough. Easy to bite through, feels reasonably thick, and a great combo of sweet flavors.


Fini Chicle Sandia Acida

Score: 5 / 10

Review

These look cool, but unfortunately, there isn’t much to write home about. It’s a reasonably sweet, sugary-tasting, reasonably thick gum. It is watermelon-like in terms of flavor but does not blow you away like other fruity gums. The flavor also does not last long. Overall, it is quite boring aside from the looks.


Sweet Shoppe Sour Gummy Suckers

Score: 6.75 / 10

Review

These have a fairly sweet, generic fruity flavor. I absolutely love the texture, with its thin and chewy, thick, and pliable texture. Unfortunately, I didn’t get much of any sourness–maybe just a hint from the light dusting on the outside of these. Other than that, these are similar to candies like peach rings and other gummies. Sweet, thick, and pliable, and overall quite tasty and addictive, but definitely not sour.


Nestle Cocosette Coconut Cookies

Score: 6.75 / 10

Review

These smell like a lightly sweet coconut cookie, but biting in, it’s much sweeter than that. It has a tasty, non-bitter, and not too artificial sugary coconut flavor. There is little nuance, though, as these are entirely a sugary coconut flavor with a biscuit essence from the cookie itself—both the cookie and the creme seem to share the same flavor.

The creme part is quite thin, but the cookie part makes up for it, remaining soft enough to have a good mouthfeel and a soft crunch when you bite into it. In milk, they get soggy very fast as they seem to absorb all the liquid, but the flavor mostly remains the same. Lastly, I love the imprinted Cocosette logo pressed and detailed onto each cookie! 


Margarita Hogao Colombiano

Score: 5.75 / 10

Review

If you blindfolded me, I would have guessed a light tomato with an equally balanced, slightly more than mild seasoning. This seasoning seems like a mix of several things, including salt, a pinch of pepper, and perhaps some onion. It’s weird — none of the flavors really stand out; it’s more like a mild-to-moderate, almost generically seasoned, inoffensive chip. I say generic, but the flavor is different than most other spiced chips, as what you have here is a little more unique and less punchy than many other flavored chips. Aside from that, these are your standard, reasonably crunchy chips.


Noel Bailey’s Irish Cream & Tiramisu Galletas Cookie Wafers

Score: 7.5 / 10

Review

With the smell of a sweet wafer biscuit, the taste of these matches exactly that. It is mostly authentic tiramisu, with a complementary, very mild wafer flavor, but really, the primary flavor here is a sweet, sugary tiramisu. If anything, the coffee flavor itself could have been a little more bold — it’s more of a sugary coffee, if that makes sense.

For a wafer, it is definitely on the sweeter side, with a more pronounced flavor than its competition. Then, in terms of texture, it’s your usual wafer cubes. Lightly crunchy with a few layers of cream, both of which provide a light but noticeable nuance, where the cream is layered just enough to provide an additional softness to the already light wafer-like crunch.

Overall, while I’m not sure I got any explicit Bailey’s or alcoholic notes, it still comes across as a fairly sweet, creamy tiramisu wrapped in a wafer form.

Release Date

Released in December 2024 alongside an Irish cream-only flavor and a round cookie version. Found at Dollarcity July 2026.


Colombina Piazza Lonchera Surtidos (Cream Filled Wafer Rolls)

Score: 7.5 / 10

Review

Four different flavors are represented: Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla, and Arequipe.

All of these look barely filled, unfortunately. They’re mostly made of a soft, lightly crunchy wafer biscuit that flakes and breaks a bit apart as you eat through it, which provides most of the mouthfeel. They don’t feel too cheap, but at the same time, are definitely not premium by any means.

Surprisingly, despite the lack of cream on the inside, all of them still provide a good enough flavor and sweetness, even stronger than some other filled wafers I’ve had. They all mostly look the same, with a light white swirl on each of the tan-looking wafers. Overall, the vanilla was my favorite!

Chocolate: A pleasantly sweet milk chocolate flavor. It almost reminds me of a chocolate milk drink, with a light wafer-biscuity flavor. Overall, it is reasonably creamy and has a notable milk chocolate flavor.

Strawberry: A light strawberry mixed with a good chunk of sugar. Its strawberry does not taste artificial or authentic; it’s just a sugary, mildly creamy, strawberry-candy-ish flavor. With the biscuit, it’s a nice combination of both flavors.

Vanilla: The strongest flavored one, with a clear, distinctly bold, sweet vanilla. It feels authentic, and with the added sugar, it is simply on another level. Perhaps one of the most boldly flavored vanilla-filled wafers I’ve had!

Arequipe: This is mostly sugary tasting with a caramel note. I wouldn’t say it is explicitly aromatic; it reminds me more of an American caramel flavor. Still, overall, it’s primarily sweet-tasting and needs more of that bold, creamy arequipe flavor to really stand out.


Dulces del Valle Tradicionales Dulcecitos

Score: 8 / 10

Review

I absolutely love this treat box — and here is why: there are so many little treats, presented in such an elegant manner! This primarily consists of a variety of guava, arequipe, and dulce de leche in all different forms! They combine these ingredients in different ways, for example, two solid-soft little cups of dulce de leche and arequipe that come with adorably small spoons, a large piece of guava with a chunk of arequipe on it, dulce de leche and arequipe in different types of soft round bites, arequipe with coconut, guava with sugar crystals, guava wrapped in a bijao leaf, and more.

Overall, everything ranges from mildly to moderately sweet, and the textures are mostly soft and pleasant to eat. The combinations of the primary three flavors and ingredients, and their presentation, are simply wonderful!


Dulces del Valle Tradicionales Dulcecitos

Score: 7.25 / 10

Review

Cookies and cream
A light, thin white cream surrounds a chocolate wafer. It is sweet for a wafer, providing a primary sugary, white chocolate-cream-like taste with a lighter chocolate background. For the most part, its cookies-and-cream flavor comes through, though I’d appreciate a bit more chocolate. Overall, my favorite of the bunch!

Limon
A milk chocolate shell surrounded a pastel green wafer–such a cool color! Biting in yields exactly that: a primary chocolate flavor with a lighter, sugary lime. It’s not at all punchy or bitter, more like a candy-like lime flavor. Overall, I’m surprised and was worried this flavor would be weird or off-putting, but it’s a nicely sweet combination, especially when combined with the wafer flavor.

Fresa
Milk chocolate shell around a tan wafer. Digging in, I get mostly chocolate, but also a noticeable amount of sugary strawberry. None of it tastes weird or fake, and the strawberry is quite creamy and pleasant, with the sugar and wafer parts complementing it nicely. This flavor kind of reminds me of a chocolate-dipped strawberry candy!

Vanilla
This is the most generic-tasting wafer, although a little sweeter than your average one. It’s a combination of mild chocolate and a more pronounced, generic vanilla wafer flavor. All the flavors work well together, but again, this is the most traditional-tasting one. I like how it’s sweeter than your average vanilla wafer, especially with the pinch of chocolate, which puts it a cut above the competition.

Chocolate 
Milk chocolate shell with a tan wafer inside. The overall flavor is milk chocolate with a mild wafer flavor. It reminds me of chocolate milk and is reminiscent of many other chocolate-flavored wafers. However, it is sweeter than your typical wafer. Overall, a solidly sweet, milk chocolate wafer.


McFlurry Jet Cruji

Score: 8.5 / 10

Review

I’m immediately hit with a sweet, caramelized syrup and vanilla ice cream. Yes, not exactly arequipe in my opinion, as this falls on the sweeter side, resembling more of a candy caramel from the generous and thick arequipe syrup. It makes the entire experience super sweet, and it doesn’t stop there either! The addition of the solid, crunchy Jet milk chocolate balls and little white rice-like crispie pieces on top is a nice contrast to the super thick creaminess of it all, and adds a further tasty element to the sweet experience by throwing in chocolately background flavor. Overall, if you blindfolded me, I would have guessed this is a new American-style caramel McFlurry with mild milk chocolate and crunchy pieces, not arquipe, unfortunately.

A very good addition to the McFlurry lineup, especially wonderful because it’s much more loaded vs. their traditional M&Ms and Oreo flavors. Now just bring it to the US!

Release Date

Released in late June 2026. Found McDonald’s in July 2026.


Mr. Brown Arequipe Brownie

Score: 6.25 / 10

Review

This double-decker brownie looks like a typical packaged brownie, but bigger. There is an extra-thin layer of filling in the center, and an equally thin chocolate coating around the entire treat. Unfortunately, unlike its looks, the texture and mouthfeel remind me of a cheap, dry brownie. Everything about it, from the shell to the inside, simply feels cheap and, well, needs some moisture.

Then, in terms of flavor, it’s a uniformly light to medium-dark, mild to moderately sweet, cheap, dull chocolate. Unfortunately, the filling is so thin that it makes no contribution whatsoever! Overall, it’s a cheap-tasting, semi-dark brownie with a dry eating experience. Not terrible, but definitely not great.


Trululu Masmelos Choco Banana

Score: 8 / 10

Review

These remind me of those cheap chocolate-covered Easter marshmallows you find everywhere. These are round and fairly thick, with the marshmallow center getting thicker toward the center. The chocolate shell is extremely thin and breaks right apart as you bite in. This shell is slightly dark and very sweet, as is the soft, lightly chewy, cheap marshmallow inside. I just love this mouthfeel and sweetness!

In terms of actual flavor, it’s mostly a sugary taste with a lighter, dark chocolate, and an even milder banana. Honestly, I could barely taste any banana; the sweetness and cheap marshmallow flavor really overtook it. Overall, I love these as they resemble some of my favorite marshmallow Easter candies. The cheap feeling sugary marshmallow inside, the super thin chocolate shell–the entire eating experience–yum!


Bianchi Encanto de Fresa

Score: 7.25 / 10

Review

A thin white shell encases a reddish pink filling. Overall, it’s fairly thick yet very soft and easy to bite through. The composition is something like marshmallow and solidified yogurt. If I had to compare, it really resembles those yogurt-based treats and candies, even in its flavor!

This flavor, like its texture, is like a yogurt candy — creamy, sweet, with white chocolate alongside a light strawberry. If you blindfolded me, I’d have guessed this was a yogurt ball in a square form. I also just love how soft and thick it is, not to mention the extra-creamy, sweet flavor! A yogurty strawberry milkshake in candy form? Yes, definitely!


Yupi Tosti Arepa Queso y Mantequilla Chips

Score: 5.75 / 10

Review

These are thick, almost nacho-like white chips. They have a fairly thick crunch but also aren’t too hard or sharp. There are little green seasoning bits in them, resembling a sour cream and onion chip. They also apply a moderate coating to your hands, similar to the coating on cheese-based chips.

The flavor is primarily corn, but after a few bites, you start to notice a seasoned cheese flavor. It’s not at all bitter or artificial; it feels and tastes like a fresh piece of seasoned, nacho-like white cheese slapped onto a crunchy corn base. It’s a good combo that would benefit from a dipping sauce to really elevate them — which, as I said earlier, these do remind me of nacho chips, and frankly, I could see them pairing well with almost any dip! You might even convince me these are just mildly cheesy regular nacho chips you found at the store–no arepa needed! 

Lastly, do these taste like arepas? Sort of. It really depends on how you cook and season them (the arepas), not to mention, these chips are crunchy. I would also say that, overall, these have a stronger corn flavor than standard grilled arepas. The addition of the white-tasting cheese does provide a decent rendition of some types of cheese you would add to arepas; however,


Toffelo Artesano – Caramelos Sabor Tres Leches con Relleno Sabor Arequipe

Score: 6 / 10

Review

A thick, chewy, white shell encases a small piece of an orange part, which is almost as chewy and thick. Know those typical grandma-like, extra chewy caramels? Like that, these caramels are identical; The mouthfeel tastes cheap and rubbery, and will work your jaw, to say the least.

It’s very sweet, with a flavor that reminds me of creamy sugar, notes of cheap white chocolate, and artificial caramel. I wouldn’t say it’s explicitly tres leches or dulce de leche, but in a way it’s definitely got a cream-and-caramel flavor, so maybe it sort of is? Anyway, don’t mistake it, though: this caramel flavor is much creamier and tastes a bit more premium and less fake compared to other cheap caramels. Simply put, I like these more. They are a lot sweeter, and while they do resemble and feel like a cheap artificial caramel candy, they’re not nearly as bad, with the saving grace being the flavor and sweetness.


Montblanc Baileys Chocolate Blanco Con Relleno Sabor Crema Irlandesa

Score: 7 / 10

Review

These are pale orange colored, definitely not white as shown on the package! They are, though, indeed squares, and you are able to break individual pieces off the bar. In terms of texture, they’re reasonably soft and creamy, with a light crunch–pretty typical of any softer, creamy-based chocolate bar from other brands. Unfortunately, the filling is very thin and has the same composition and mouthfeel as the shell–yeah, it really isn’t doing anything here.

The flavor is fairly sweet and creamy white chocolate — though not exactly white chocolate; it’s more like a different version. It’s not as punchy or super sweet as a white chocolate bar — I guess this is just more creamy and a touch lighter, making for a more pleasant experience. In a way, this may be the infused Bailey’s flavor. Although at the same time, I don’t explicitly taste any alcohol, either. Nonetheless, overall, this bar provides a rich, creamy, moderately sweet, almost white-tasting chocolate-eating experience.


Bimbo Recreo Mix

Score: 7 / 10

Review

All of the submarines look a lot like Twinkies, but are a little thinner and slightly shorter. They all have that moist, artificial-cake consistency, too, where the outside sticks to the inner packaging and takes a nudge to get it out.

The filling is mixed, with some having barely any while others were filled generously. When you bite in, you’re first greeted with a moist, light, buttery vanilla and fairly sweet artificial cake–just like Twinkies or other snack cakes. It’s a good experience, especially with how soft the fillings are. Overall, while I enjoyed the variety, most of these all feel cheap and generic. My favorite was the strawberry submarine because it was so sweet!

Lastly, the mini muffins were generic — see my review below for those!

Submarine (Arequipe)
It’s a light arequipe-flavored filling, though just enough to notice. It tastes genuine, not artificial, weird, or cheap, but for the most part, the cake flavor dominates the profile through its sweetness. Disappointing but not horrible.

Submarine (Strawberry)
Wow, this has a distinct, sugary strawberry flavor. It pairs well with the vanilla buttery cake flavor, too, giving a sweet strawberry candy milkshake vibe. It’s notably much sweeter than the other submarines here. My favorite of the bunch!

Submarine (Chocolate with vanilla cream filling and sprinkles)
Unlike the others, this has large white chocolate chips attached to the shell of the mildly dark chocolate-looking cake. I also appreciate the thin-shelled coating around it all. Unfortunately, the sprinkles and shell together don’t add anything, as they have the same soft texture as the soft cake inside. Also weirdly, this was slightly drier than the other flavors!

Biting in, notably, however, mine didn’t have much filling! It was such a tiny amount located on the side, ugh! The flavor is your typical, semi-dark (between milky and dark), moderately sweet, cheap-flavored chocolate. It’s not bad by any means. Basically, if you’ve ever had a super cheapo chocolate snack cake, it’s a lot like that, kind of. For example, I think Hostess, Drake’s, and a few other brands have the flavor and texture beat, so aim for those if you want a better experience. Lastly, the taste is completely uniform, likely because mine had barely any cream, and not to mention, the sprinkles and coated shell really added nothing to the entire experience!

Mini Muffin (Vanilla)
You’re typical vanilla snack cake. Reasonably moist, a little dense but does break apart a bit, and feels cheap, and overall, nothing to write home about in terms of mouthfeel or a snack muffin in general. The taste is also typical, with a mildly buttery flavor and a sweet vanilla note. Nothing crazy, more or less your typical vanilla muffin. I’d much prefer the more moist and dense Little Bites!

Mini Muffin (Coconut)
This has several coconut flakes baked into the top. These coconut flakes surprisingly add a small, soft-crunchy element to the soft muffin, despite the muffin seeming to have only a few. In addition, they also give it an equal amount of coconut flavor alongside the buttery muffin taste. Wait, actually, is the entire muffin coconut-flavored? I think so! The coconut flavor pairs well with the vanilla muffin background, and I especially appreciate how smooth and not too artificial the actual coconut flavor is. Further, the sweetness brings it out perfectly without overwhelming you; notably, these are a tad less sweet than the Vanilla flavor. Overall, the flavors are balanced, and the muffin isn’t over-the-top sweet, definitely something to try if you enjoy coconut!


Tradicion 1915 Alfajor Blanco Relleno con Dulce

Score: 7.5 / 10

Review

I don’t think the picture in the front did this justice. These appear much, much thicker when you unwrap them. The size of these is genuinely huge, with a mildly thin white chocolate shell that has solidified and appears to have oozed off the side. This shell encases two thick shortbread-like cookies and a helping of soft, gooey arequipe directly in the center. 

Biting in, it’s as expected–which is tasty! It’s soft, though solid, and does break apart slightly due to the nature of the shortbread and shell. However, the taste is where it shines. You absolutely notice the sweet white chocolate shell despite it not being ultra-thick, all combined with a very buttery shortbread cookie flavor, and on top of that, an essence of sweet, smooth arequipe. It’s all a wonderfully unique experience, especially because the white chocolate adds so much without overwhelming. Basically, all the flavors are balanced, providing a fairly sweet, buttery, smooth, and creamy experience!


Colombina ChocoBreak Cookies and Cream

Score: 7.25 / 10

Review

These are small and all individually wrapped. Opening the packages up, they look like mini square cookies-and-cream chocolate bars. They present themselves as white chocolate with noticeable embedded darker pieces throughout. Also, definitely not as pale or white as the packaging shows!

In terms of mouthfeel, it’s a cookies-and-cream bar with a very mild crunch. I’d say it’s about 80 percent a creamy, smooth candy bar and 20 percent lightly crunchy. This crunch comes from the fairly large cookie pieces, generously spread throughout. In terms of taste, it’s comparable to most other cookies-and-cream bars. Fairly sweet yet not overwhelming, with a smooth, creamy white chocolate and an essence of cookie.


Kola Roman Zero

Score: 7 / 10

Review

Red cream soda, that’s what this soda is! It’s exceptionally creamy and smooth, with a sugary sweet, almost lightly fruity taste. Together, it makes for a refreshing experience! One of the best sodas I’ve had, resembling most other red cream sodas.


Flips Dulce de Leche Cereal

Score: 7.5 / 10

Review

These resemble puffed cereals (often called filled puffed or pillow cereal). Lightly crunchy and airy, yet with a thick enough outer shell and a small, soft inside. It’s a pleasantly addictive combination that provides a good mouthfeel, especially when dry, because you really can feel the softer center and overall nuance.

The taste is fairly sweet and sugary, and notably, it contains no corn or cereal flavors. If you blind folded me, I wouldn’t have guessed dulce de leche exactly. Maybe some type of caramel? Or a very sweet, creamy sugar? I’m not sure. It’s mostly just sugary sweet, though, not a plain sugar either, like other cereals, and it’s also especially sweeter than most others, too. Perhaps it’s that dulce de leche background really driving it forward and making it more distinct than your average sugar-flavored cereal.

In milk, it remains mostly crunchy and doesn’t get soggy for some time. The flavor also loses a touch of sweetness, but still remains mostly the same. In my opinion, I like these better dry — really makes for a good snack. If anything, I wish there were a bolder dulce de leche flavor, but I’m still satisfied given how sweet it is!

You can also find my review of these on my cereal page, located here.


Oreo Golden Vanilla Strawberry

Score: 6.75 / 10

Review

You’re first hit with a creamy, fairly sweet strawberry, but as you pay attention, you notice a vanilla flavor alongside it. What results is, as I said, a very creamy, sugary-tasting strawberry. It kind of reminds me of a strawberry milkshake with extra sugar and a slightly more candy-like flavor. At the same time, it does not taste fake or weirdly artificial either. Interestingly, it yields a stronger, slightly fruity-sour, more authentic strawberry note now and then — I am not sure why — you know, when you hit a large chocolate chip in a cookie and get that super chocolately note? Like that.

Lastly, the golden Oreo cookie part wraps it all up nicely in a lighter, complementary vanilla and biscuity flavor. In milk, the overall flavor remains mostly the same while becoming even creamier! 

You can also find my review of this in the Oreo section here.

Release Date

Released early June 2026.


Crem Helado Jumbo

Score: 6.25 / 10

Review

A regular milk chocolate ice cream. That’s pretty much it! It doesn’t taste or feel too cheap or premium; it’s mainly just average. However, weirdly, after opening and refreezing it, the ice cream turned extremely hard. So hard in fact, it was impossible to cut through with a spoon! This is in contrast to many American-based ice creams, which tend to turn more icy yet remain spoonable with some effort.

Anyway, along with its milk chocolate flavor profile, there is a light peanut addition from the generously added, lightly crunchy peanut pieces. It’s not super crunchy by any means, as if the peanuts got a little soggy from the ice cream, nor is the peanut flavor all that strong in the first place.

Overall, as a peanut lover, I’m disappointed. The flavors here are too mild, and the ice cream’s composition is nothing to write home about. Honestly, it’s just a bit boring and would benefit from toppings or other mix-ins, as well as a bit more sweetness.


Noel Baileys Triple Crema Galletas Filled Wafers

Score: 7.25 / 10

Review

Biting in, I notice an immediate, smooth, and creamy vanilla. But it’s not a typical punchy vanilla flavor; it’s creamier, milkier. It remains pretty sweet, sweeter than your average filled wafer treat. The texture of the wafer is also unique, with tons of embedded sugar crystals throughout, which add nuance to the soft-crunchy wafer shell. Weirdly, though, the wafer itself has a slight “is this old?” texture, almost as if it’s a tad too soft, giving a slightly stale mouthfeel. Nonetheless, it’s mostly ignorable, and the wafer treat as a whole remains quite tasty and a cut above your average filled wafer treat.

Release Date

Released around October 2024. Found mid-July 2026 at Exito.


Jet Burbujas Pistacho Dubai Style

Score: 7.25 / 10

Review

A sweet, soft, and creamy milk chocolate shell houses a good amount of green, lightly crunchy filling that’s just a bit softer than the shell itself. For the most part, it’s a chocolate taste with just a slight hint of nuttiness. Honestly, if you blindfolded me, I’d have guessed this is a regular, super-sweet milk chocolate truffle with a few specs of crunch here and there. Honestly, nothing really Dubai here.

You can also find my review of this on my Dubai review page here.

Release Date

Likely released around early June 2026. Found mid-July 2026 at Exito.


Jumbo Pistacho Dubai Style

Score: 7.5 / 10

Review

It looks like a regular milk chocolate bar, but when you turn it over, it reveals a layer of embedded mini green pistachios and shredded kadayif. Then, when you break the squares apart, a solid green filling appears.

Biting in, this is perhaps one of the softest and creamiest chocolates I’ve had. It practically melts in your mouth before it even reaches it, wow! It’s so soft and has a slight, interesting chew. Besides that, the decent amount of inside green filling is just slightly softer than the chocolate shell itself, so for the most part, it’s quite uniform. However, the bottom part with the pistachios and shredded kadify provides a tiny crunch. Frankly, though, there isn’t much there–it just seems these mixins are part of the bottom, nowhere else, so don’t expect much. Ultimately, the star of the show is the texture and, of course, the taste.

In terms of flavor, it’s a very sweet, creamy milk chocolate with a fairly noticeable pistachio note. Dubai? I’m not sure; to me, it falls more into a regular pistachio-chocolate vibe. Either way, it’s a great combination, with the chocolate being at the forefront of the flavor profile and the nuttiness backing it up perfectly.

Review

Carbonated water at its finest! They’re flavorful and sweeter than your typical, regularly spiced carbonated beverage. Basically, they aren’t bland. In addition to their bolder, sweeter flavors, the brand offers several unique flavors, from apple to lemonade. Each is great, and personally, I found the apple flavor to be very unique — it tastes like slightly watered-down carbonated apple juice. Another favorite of mine is the lemonade (limonata) for its authentic, sweet flavor, without being punchy or too sour. Overall, great refreshing and unique drinks!
