"Europa" from Macedonia is not a bad factory mind you and for their plus side one could count their really fine customer support, but the product you chosen is considered one of their cheapest ones and naturally, not so great, either. You should pay more attention to prices, as for 2$, what would one expect? And Macedonian products made of cocoa or chocolate are among the worse in the world, together with Romanian (heavens save you from ever trying their chocolates), Bulgarian and Turk. However, all these countries have incredible products of other kinds...I would always go to Macedonian brands for peanut, sesame or corn products, Romania for beverages and especially wines, Bulgaria for flower based products (including some types of cookies) and Turk for all kinds of alvas, turkish delights, incredible filled cookies (like Tutku, that's a great one) and so on... Point is to never buy cheap, as cheap product means cheap ingredients and if you're keen in a bit experimenting and building an international palate in cookie and chocolate area, to buy what one country makes best. In the course of business, I've lived in the Balkan area for some time and indulged myself in some incredible products, but from former Yugoslavian countries, I would recommend you to search for Macedonian alvas and peanut butter next time, Serbian Stark, Pionir or Takovo products (Plazma, Fil-Bi and so on), Croatian Kras and Zvecevo chocolates and Vindia puddings...Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro are better in cheese, meat and vine industry (among the best in the world) and Slovenia is more in vine, milk and cheese (again, excellent products). Hope you could use this. Best of luck next time :) You had a great misfortune to come around to one of not so good wafer products. “Europa” from Macedonia is not a bad factory mind you and for their plus side one could count their really fine customer support, but the product you chosen is considered one of their cheapest ones and naturally, not so great, either.
