I’m kind of obsessed with international candy and snack subscription boxes lately. Ever since a friend sent me ah-freaking-mazing candy from Switzerland years ago, I’ve been convinced that the rest of the world has far better junk food than we do!

Back then, though, we didn’t have all of the nifty subscription boxes that we have today, so I never really had a chance to test that theory. It’s definitely on my to-do list this year, and I know just which boxes I’ll start with. Check them out below! I even included unboxing or review videos when I could find them.

FYI, I did use affiliate links in this post, so if you decide to buy something through them I’ll get a small commission at no extra cost to you. Prices reflect the lowest cost (which is usually based on a 12-month subscription), are accurate as of today (1/10/22) and subject to change. Thanks!

Japan Crate (Japanese Candy & Snacks)

I know, I mention this one A LOT, but it’s probably my all-time favorite international candy box ever. I lived in Japan for two years back in 1999-2001 and I still miss all the yummy snacks and candy. The stuff we have in stores here just isn’t the same because of how its imported (exposed to extreme temps, frozen, thawed, sits for ages, etc).

Japan Crate actually ships directly to you from Japan, so you’re not getting stuff that’s been sitting around in some warehouse for months on end. Everything tastes exactly how I remember it!

I found this great unboxing review of the January 2022 box on YouTube, check it out:

• What you get in each box: Depends on the box size. The Original box comes with 10 items, including at least one DIY kit.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $33.45+
• Options (Sizes): Original (10 items) & Premium (full-size candy plus other fun Japanese items). They also have a few other boxes, including one with noodles, one with Japanese stationary, and one with  gachapon capsule toys.

2. MexiCrate

MexiCrate is one of the most popular Mexican candy/snack boxes on CrateJoy. In fact, it’s so popular that it usually has a “low stock” warning. So if you’re thinking about trying it, I’d grab it asap. Given the sheer number of positive reviews (4.5 stars total with 340+ ratings), I think it’s a pretty sure bet that you’ll love it.

It comes in three sizes, but the Mediana is the most popular. At just around $18 for a jam-packed box (figuratively, not literal jam), it’s surprisingly affordable, too! Check out the video below from the brand itself for more info:

• What you get in each box: 15-25 Mexican candies and snacks.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $17.99+ for Mediana (average) box, but they have a smaller option for $7.99+ and a larger one for $26.39+
• Options (Sizes): 

3. Bokksu Box (Japanese Snacks)

I know I already recommended a Japanese candy box, but I feel like this list wouldn’t be complete without Bokksu. It’s high on my wish list, especially after hearing friends rave about it.

Like Japan Crate, it features unique snacks and treats from the Land of the Rising Sun, many of which come from small businesses that have been around for centuries. It costs a bit more than Japan Crate but it also comes with more stuff in each box.

Your first box celebrates the Seasons of Japan and you can actually see pretty much everything that’s in it on Amazon. After that, you’ll get the same box as other members centered around a specific theme.

I really like this review from YouTube, it gives you a good overview of the first box:

• What you get in each box: 20-25 “premium Japanese snacks.”
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost:
• Options (Sizes): Only one.

4. The Premium Pack by Treats (General International Candy)

If you’d rather try a variety of different international candies throughout the year rather than just from one country every month, The Premium Pack is a good way to go. Each month focuses on a different country and includes at least 10 snacks from that destination. It’s basically like a passport for an “Around the World in 12 months” snacking adventure.

• What you get in each box: 10+ snacks and candies from the featured country, plus postcards and other small items.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $25.95+
• Options (Sizes): Just one

5. Nuevo Box

Okay, so technically this is from New Mexico. I’m updating this post in 2025, though, and because of all of the tariffs a lot of the boxes that were on this list are just no longer available to the US. I figure that even though this ships from New Mexico, it still has that international snack vibe.

Bring the bold, smoky flavors of the Southwest straight to your kitchen with the Nuevo: A Taste of New Mexico box. Each month, you’ll get 4–5 authentic New Mexican food items—think red chile sauces, carne adovada, or sweet sopapilla mixes—hand-packed and shipped free right to your door. It’s like a culinary road trip through the Land of Enchantment, no plane ticket required.

• What you get in each box: 4–5 authentic New Mexican food items, plus recipes and support from the Nuevo team.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $47.99

6. Pachanga Box

Spice up snack time with the Pachanga Box, a deliciously fun way to explore Latin America without leaving your couch. Each month spotlights a different country—like Peru, Colombia, or Mexico—and comes packed with 18–25 authentic snacks, plus info about the culture behind them. It’s part foodie adventure, part geography lesson, and totally addictive.

• What you get in each box: 18–25 snacks from a featured Latin American country, plus cultural info.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $34
• Options (Sizes): Just the one

7. IndiFix – A Monthly Box of Indian Snacks & Treats

IndiFix claims that they’re the only Indian snack subscription, and from what I could find they’re right. Each box features an outstanding selection of everything from candy to cookies and even soda, all straight from India.

Everything in the box is 100% vegetarian, too! Even better, your purchase give back. For every box sold, they donate at least one meal to an Indian child in need. Check out the unboxing vid below for a closer look.

• What you get in each box: 12+ full size premium treats in the Original Box, 20+ in the Super Fix
• Frequency:
• Cost: $32+ for the Original Fix, $46+ for the Super Fix
• Options (Sizes): Two sizes

8. Canadian Snacks Subscription

I was on the fence about including Canada because they’re not really what I think of when someone says “international.” Then again, I live in PA, so I could actually drive to Canada faster than I could to, say, North Carolina. But since I included Mexico, and since some of you live MUCH farther from the border,

If you’ve never tried Canadian candy, you definitely want to check this one out. I have friends who’ve sent me quite a few goodies over the years. My favorites are Smarties! They’re nothing like our version. These are more like M&Ms, but tastier (and that’s saying something because I do love M&Ms).

• What you get in each box: 10+ items, including candy, chips, and other yummy Canadian treats.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $29+
• Options (Sizes): Just one

9. Turkish Munchies Maxi International Snack Box (Turkish Treats)

This one is actually just a one-time box versus a monthly subscription, but it still deserves a mention here. I have some gift card money left from Christmas, so I’m thinking about grabbing a box. It has pretty good reviews!

Each box comes with 21 different full-sized premium candies and snacks from Turkey, all of which meet strict European standards for food. I like that you can actually see what you get in the box, but that could be a drawback if you prefer surprises.

• What you get in each box: 21+ full-sized items
• Frequency: One time
• Cost: $29.99
• Options (Sizes): Just the one on this listing, but they have a ton of others in their Amazon store.

10. The Tapas Box Club

Bring the flavors of Spain right to your table with The Tapas Box Club. Each month, you’ll receive a handpicked selection of authentic Spanish delicacies—like cured meats, artisanal cheeses, and seafood—along with expert pairing tips and educational materials to help you craft the perfect tapas spread. It’s a delicious way to travel Spain’s culinary landscape without leaving home.

• What you get in each box: A curated mix of gourmet tapas ingredients, pairing guides, and cultural insights.
• Frequency: Monthly
• Cost: $40.99+

As you can see, I stuck to subscriptions that are mostly filled with candy and snacks. If you want to expand into entire meals, there are a TON of different boxes you can try for that, too. CrateJoy has a whole category for international flavors.

Oh, and don’t forget to look for coupon codes above the “subscribe now” buttons on each listing. You can usually find some good deals to get your first box at a deeply discounted rate.
