Universal Yums delivers a box full of snacks and candies from a different country to your door every month. The snacks and candies in each box promise to be delicious and unique, with most being extremely rare and hard to find in the United States.
In addition to tasty snacks, Universal Yums includes an interactive guidebook in every box filled with country-specific trivia, games, recipes, culture, and more.

We say yes for those who like to try new snacks and are looking for a monthly (or one-off) family-friendly activity!
The cost per snack breakdown will vary depending on the size of your box and the length of your subscription, but each unique snack from around the world is less than $3.
Plus, add in the guidebook with 12-16 pages of activities and fun facts along with the interactive scorecard for the whole family to play, and this box is absolutely worth it in our opinion.
We were super excited to try Universal Yums as we are big snackers and are always on the lookout for unique snacks and interesting flavors.

For this Universal Yums box review, we received the 2022 Holiday Box, in the Yum Yum size (medium), as a gift for the whole family.
This box was $33 (purchased as a 1-month Gift) and included 10 snacks, a scorecard, and a guidebook.
Our Universal Yums Holiday box included the following snacks:
This Holiday Box featured snacks from 10 countries, some of which were holiday-themed like the Dark Chocolate Gingerbread from Germany while others were fun and unique.
Unlike the Italy box (more on that below), this box featured 10 different snacks with no duplicates and did not come with a Yum Bag. We love this as it means more snacks to taste and rate on our family scorecard! SHOP NOW >>
And while we loved tasting all of the snacks, we did have some favorites and passes.
The Universal Yums Holiday Box 2022 was a super fun experience to share with my family. We enjoyed trying each snack together and filling out the scorecard.
This box had an even amount of sweet snacks and savory snacks, which for my family, was a great balance as we love both sweet and savory/salty snacks. That’s one drawback of most snack boxes, you don’t get to choose what you receive and you may receive snacks you don’t like.
In the end, there were several new favorites that we would buy again and some snacks that we would pass on in the future if given the choice. SHOP NOW >>
For our first Universal Yums box reviews, we purchased the Italy box as a 1-month gift, in the Yum Yum size (the medium size) which includes 10-12 snacks and a 16-page guidebook for $31.
When we purchased this box the only country option available for us to choose from was Italy. SHOP NOW >>
Our Universal Yums Italy box included the following snacks:
And while we loved tasting all of the snacks, we did have some favorites and passes.
Our Italy guidebook was packed with
In addition, we received a Mona Lisa sticker as well as a “Yum Scoreboard” game used to rate all of the items in your Universal Yums box. This was especially fun for our 10-year-old son. We gathered around the kitchen table, opened up our Universal Yums box, and dug in!
Everyone tasted and scored as we went along.We also added in some trivia questions to mix it up a bit and learn a little while indulging.
These activities turned this snack box into a fun family activity.

Universal Yums delivers a box of snacks and candies along with an interactive guidebook from a different country to your door every month.
We love the assortment of unique snacks and candies that were in our box, making it something truly special. And the interactive guidebook not only told us about all of the products in our box but turned the box into a fun family activity. We especially enjoyed the trivia and the Yum Scoreboard game.
We also love that there are subscription and non-subscription/gift options and that you can purchase products a la carte from the Yum Shop making it easy to try out a box or snacks without worrying about a subscription. Though, getting a Yum or Yum Yum box every month would definitely be a fun surprise and something that I know my son would absolutely love, not only for the snacks and candies but also for the family time that comes with them. Finally, the free shipping within the continental US for boxes is great and in line with other subscription snack boxes that we have seen.
We would highly recommend ordering a Universal Yums box, either for yourself, or your family, or as a gift. The snacks and candies are unique and tasty and the guidebook makes the whole box more of an activity for everyone to enjoy. If you are a snack-lover, an adventurous eater, or have kids that like to try new things – this is the box for you! SHOP NOW >>
