Kinder Surprise

I had read an article about these Kinder Surprise candies that were banned in America.  Apparently they have a bit of a cult following.  Once I was in Belgium and realized I could try them, I figured why not?  They are chocolate and they have a toy, sounds great!  I was not disappointed!  I bought one my first day, and looooved the taste of the milk and white chocolate.  And the toy!  It became my new tradition to get a Kinder Surprise and big bottle of water every morning, and a few more Surprises at the end of the day.  Yum!  Here are all of my toys,  I think my favorite is the last one I got!

Here is it, the egg shaped delight!

The first of many, sleepy smurf.

This one shot a snowboarder out of the ski lodge!

Baby Smurf and a massive teddy bear.

So lame and disappointing, stickers.

A different candy, which was not as good.  I could only eat it by carving it out using the coffee stirrer in my hotel.  The saving grace, was the amazing Rio parrot toy.

This one is awesome, a gorilla that throws a banana!

Not that into cars, but still cool.  Overall, the surprise was the best part, I never knew what I was going to get.  The variety of toys was amazing!

Another smurf!

This is a fab British ring that is also a stamp!

My favorite of them all I opened in the plane home, it's a boat!!

I miss Kinder Surprise.

i recently booked a trip about a week before traveling!  what fun and adventure, just going!  so i found a deal to belgium and got on the plane the next week.

i had a fantastic trip and did only things i wanted to do, what joy.  and my high school french came into play.  i was so excited when i was approached first in french, and was able to keep up pretty well!
