Hawaiian Isles Kona Coffee
I've only been to Hawaii once, and I drank this coffee every morning on my trip. The nutty roast will transport you to a tropical place. It tastes like vacation.

TCHO Chocolate
The San Francisco chocolate sells its bars at World Market. I'm the biggest fan of the 65 percent milk chocolate, which was made in collaboration with another SF staple, Blue Bottle Coffee. Though there's no coffee in the chocolate, it does pair nicely with a latte (or melted in a homemade café au lait).

Haribo Gummies
World Market has what seems like every unique Haribo flavor, including those only found in Germany. Our video host Brandi Milloy's favorite are the ones pictured. She said, "These Haribo Barchen-Parchen gummies, which translates to 'bear couples,' feature adorable sweet and sour bears holding hands! These unassuming gummy bears come in three delicious flavor combinations: sweet apple with sour orange, sweet blueberry with sour blackcurrant, and sweet cherry with sour lemon. They're not covered in sour sugar like most sour gummies. Instead they are plump and juicy with the sour flavor inside the gummy bear. I have a really hard time separating these gummy bears when eating them, because I feel like they should go to gummy bear heaven together, kind of like how Rose should have never let go of Jack's hand in Titanic."
Shop it: Haribo Barchen Parchen Sweet and Sour Gummies ($3)

Tim Tams are like Australia's equivalent of Oreos. My favorite flavor is the chewy caramel, but you can't go wrong with the original.

Japanese Pocky
You may have seen Pocky in chocolate and strawberry, but there's a whole world of flavors only available in Japan and World Market carries many of them. I have my eyes on the azuki red bean.
