I gave food Advent Calendars out this year to close family. One is the Walker's Shortbread to a person who had never had any type of Advent Calendar before that they are truly excited about their cookie a day treat.
The other one is kinda pretentious, but not when taking into account the scarcity in the US of the product and the quality of the confection Lakrid by Bulow licorice is a real eye opener, and the flavors are delicious and memorable.
I don't like US black licorice candy at all, but I got to try a caramel covered black (salted?) licorice piece out of the calendar and it was phenomenal. I wish Bulow was more available here.
