Yes, it’s that time again! In April, I was paired with two people from England. I sent a parcel to Evette who blogs at Bizzimummy and received one from Jess. I pretty much told Jess to just surprise me as long as there were no peanuts, so she put together a box of her favourite treats. The first thing I saw when I opened the box (after taking out Jess’s note, of course), was this:
The little After Eight chocolates were eaten as soon as I’d taken the photo!
I was happy to see Jaffa Cakes because I love them and hadn’t had any in ages. I was nice and only ate two of them, saving the third for Jan.
Next came more chocolate:
We ate the M&Ms while watching some TV on Saturday. The Milky Way I had all to myself š
The next item took me right back to my student days!
They became my oh-so-healthy lunch on Friday.
Next up was stuff to drink:
The Wispa Gold hot chocolate was very yummy! I may have to buy more when I’m next in the UK.
Finally, at the bottom of the box were two packet mixes:
I can’t even remember the last time I had Angel Delight!
Here’s everything all together:
As for what I sent… Evette told me she likes chocolate, crisps and cake and prefers ready-to-eat foods over ingredients. Here’s what she got:
Not the healthiest of parcels, but all very yummy.

I can’t wait to see what my May parcel brings!
I’d totally love the English packet! and yours looks great too!:)
It’s nearly all gone now š
Mmmm, I’d like the After Eights please…
Sorry, all nommed š
Fab selection you received! Jaffa cakes are the best! And what’s better is that there’s no VAT on them – yay! Clearly they are essential items! š Oh and chicken noodles… I had some for tea last night and they were horrible! I think I may have gone off them!
Jaffa Cakes are definitely the best!!
milky ways!!! so jealous. want.
Aww, do they not have them there?
Both parcels look super tasty! I’d gladly receive either!!!x
Sign up, sign up, sign up! (Peer pressure)
That’s a really great box! I love having the excuse of eating unhealthy things!
Indeed… “it was in my foodie penpal box, I HAVE to eat it!”
This is such a great idea. It’s so lovely to get a parcel like this.
