 With my lack of creativity, I replicated the ones that were shown on the box.

I had fun making these!!

Botan Rice Candy

Botan Rice Candy is a soft, chewy, slightly lemon-orange flavored candy with an outer layer of rice paper. The rice paper is clear and plastic-like when dry, but it is edible and dissolves in the mouth. It is a traditional Japanese candy.

The candy's name, Botan (kanji: 牡丹, hiragana: ぼたん), means "peony" in Japanese. A peony blossom is shown on the label, next to an inu-hariko, a dog-shaped traditional toy for Japanese children.

The candy is similar to the taste of a gum drop, but better, and with a slight taste of rice. It might sound a bit strange, but it's delicious! I love it! I have to buy multiple boxes since the portions are so small (in my opinion).

Each box also comes with a collectible sticker!

Botan Rice Candy can be purchased at your local Asian food market. You can also buy it online at Amazon.com.

Hello Kitty Strawberry Dip Biscuits

This is a similar version of YanYan and the well-know Pocky - chocolate covered biscuit sticks.

It comes in a container that separates the biscuit sticks from the strawberry cream dip. It may look like a lot, but there is a very small portion of cream dip.

It's really fun to eat, but I think it tastes horrible. Some who have had this before might argue with me and say it tastes just like Pocky, but I can tell a difference. To me, it tastes like cardboard with strawberry cream on it. I couldn't eat more than two of these and immediately threw it away. Don't let the cute packaging fool you. I would not recommend anyone to get this.

You can find this in your local asian market or you can search online to buy it.

Strawberry Hi-Chew

Hi-Chew (ハイチュウ Haichū) is a fruit-flavored chewy Japanese candy sold by Morinaga & Company and can be found in many stores across the U.S. It comes in the following flavors: 

Strawberry, Green Apple, Mango, Melon and Banana.

It was first created to be an edible gum in Japan, so it is really chewy. The taste is similar to Starburst. I can only find them in one store where I live so I rarely buy them, but they are soo good and very addictive! I love them!

If you want to know where you can buy them, you can visit the hi-chew website @ http://hi-chew.com and visit the "Where To Find It" Page. You can also find hi-chew online at Amazon.com!

New Squishies!

I've purchased four more cute squishies to add to my collection :)

The first three are from kawaiisquishyshop.storenvy.com. She has great prices and quick shipping! She still has more of these squishies in stock so I'd get them while they're still available. I haven't seen these squishies anywhere else for a reasonable price (including shipping price).

Powdered Donut

Chocolate Donut with Sprinkles

Mini Chocolate Donut

The last squishy is from tootookawaii.com. She recently stocked up on a ton of super rare squishies for the best prices ever! I had to quickly get one before they sold out so if I were you, I'd bookmark her website and keep checking back for updates. Her package came in this adorable pink mailer with cute deco tape. The squishy was securely wrapped with bubble wrap and placed into a bag. I will definitely be purchasing from her again!

Hello Kitty Donut Squishy Replica

Another replica! I'm still obsessing over these adorable hello kitty squishies. I bought another one from decoden-acc.com and decided to do another replica since people enjoyed my last one.

Here is the actual squishy:

...and here is the replica!

 This one was fairly easy to do and didn't take me as long as my last one. I started by making the graphics for the tag using a photo editing software called Photofiltre, then I made the graphics for the back.

I made the charm with polymer clay and used brown liquid clay for the chocolate drizzle.

Here is a side-by-side comparison of the actual squishy and the replica:
