This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at BU chapter.

One of the best parts of traveling is trying new foods. And for those of us who prefer to eat chocolate for dinner, there is a world of possibilities out there when it comes to candy.

Unfortunately, until these are available in America, you’ll need to get yourself a passport before you can munch on any of these tasty treats. But if you’re still not convinced that foreign treats are where it’s at, check out this article.

So here are 11 foreign candies that will make you want to pack your bags and head to the airport ASAP:
