Russian Childhood Snacks

001 : Kartoshka cakes

002 : Rot Front Candy Bars

003 : Halva

++ a lot that i've found are homemade (sugar on buttered toast, homemade caramel, boiled condensed milk, homemade toffee, etc...) so def look up how to make some of those!

I've also noticed a trend with rye bread and condensed milk
