I'm getting around to my backlog of Japanese snacks. This box has been sitting in the cupboard since before Christmas. Yasu has been eying it off every time he opens the cupboard...probably wondering when I'm going to crack it open. Well Yasu will be happy when he gets home from work today! :)
This flavour is called "kougen no vanilla ice" in other words Highland Vanilla Icecream flavour. Not sure why but they seem to have a theme going. The last box of Koala no March I reviewed was "mountain hut" flavour. I guess they like the mountain theme?
The biscuits look and smell the same as always, Koala shaped biscuits that are lightly toasted, with pictures of various Koala's on the front in brown ink. From the outside there is a sweet smell, and biting into it there is a creamy vanilla cream in the centre. These really taste like vanilla icecream, my only complaint is there is not enough cream in the middle, as always. I wish there was more filling.
The biscuits are really crunchy though and deliver a satisfying loud crunch when you bite into them followed by the sweet vanilla cream. I love these as a sweet snack, they're really pleasant and great for sharing too.
It was nice to try once, but I probably wouldn't buy it again because it's just not that special. But I'm sure kids would love these!
And as an aside, by buying this pack you are also making a donation to the Australian Koala Foundation - www.savethekoala.com

Ooh, I used to eat Koala March all the time. I loved the pictures on the cookie.
Yeah, I think that was my problem with the cookies before too, there wasn't really enough filling, which is the best part.
This sounds super yummy! I wish I could try!
