Ashley Brought Home Candy For An Icelandic Candy Taste Test

As you have probably gathered by the endless stream of Iceland blog posts (Golden Circle, Reykjanes Peninsula, Day in Reykjavik) and pictures (Iceland Photo Gallery), I went on an epic adventure to Iceland with Melissa. And, we went without Nisheet! Sometimes you just have to have a girls trip. But, I didn’t want him to miss out on all the fun though, so I brought home a bag full of candy (in fact, I had to leave my towel in Iceland because the candy took up too much room). And, then, we had an Icelandic Candy Taste Test when I got home!

Sorry for the blurriness on the candy close-ups. This is our first video of this kind, so we are still getting the hang of it. 

As we mentioned in the video, there is definately a trend with the Icelandic candy we tried. It was all milk chocolate. No dark chocolate. No white chocolate. And, the milk chocolate was very sweet and not as chocolaty as what I’m used to. There was also a lot of licorice, wafers, and coconut. I wasn’t surprised by the licorice because it is a very common type of candy in the Scandinavian countries, but I was definately surprised by the coconut. Who knew? Are they trying to get more of a tropical feel since it is cold year round there? Also, if you don’t think you like licorice, I urge you to try it again. I didn’t think I liked it, but it turns out I do! At least the licorice from Iceland.

We are thinking about creating more of these video blogs (vlogs as some of you call it). What do you think? Should we make some more vlogs or should we stick to only regular blog posts? What topics do you want to see? Do you have any travel related questions you want us to answer?
