Since I lost my SD Card, there is no actual evidence of the snacks I have received thus far. I have eaten every morsel and I will continue to do so. I will start with sharing photos of Box #4 and Box #6. Somehow, it arrived before Box #5, but I have high hopes that it will arrive this week yet :)
In previous boxes, I have enjoyed most everything with the exception of 2 items that I "trashed" on their website.
Box #1
Orange and Ginger Flapjack- My first favorite. I loved every bite. Flapjacks are the U.K.'s version of kind of a granola bar I guess. Made from rolled oats, oranges and a little ginger, soft and chewy. Photo from their website at graze.com
Florentine- pumpkin seeds, dark chocolate buttons and dried cranberries. I liked the chocolate and the cranberries but there were just too many pumpkin seeds, and the seeds were plain. That isn't a problem, it was just too many. I trashed this one.
Peking Dynasty- peking cashews, baked soy bites and dried black beans. This wasn't my thing either and was also trashed. I didn't mind the cashews..yum. Or the soy bites. But the beans were nasty.
Chili and Lime Pistachios- I didn't get to try this one. We were visiting my husband at his apartment so I thought he needed a little treat...pistachios are one of his favorite. He said they were awesome and now I regret sharing. Hopefully I will get them as a repeat and have a chance to taste them.
Box #2
Vanilla Cherry Frangipane- dried cherries, almonds, vanilla pumpkin and vanilla sunflower seeds. I like this one ok, but it wasn't a wow for me. I did enjoy the flavor of the vanilla though. I left it as a try once in a while.
Pomodoro Rustichella- cheese croutons, tomato, basil and oregano almonds and mini tomato breadsticks. I loved this one. I am finding that I really like the savory mixes a lot. Great flavors!
Toffee Apple Dipper- sticky toffee sauce with granny smith apple slices. Their version of dried apples is different than ours. They are more chewy and soft, but I really liked it. Even though I am trying to cut back on sugar, I figure this is a better option than sitting down with a bag of chips or a big candy bar.
Sticky Chocolate Pudding- milk chocolate drops, jumbo raisins and green raisins. I left this one as a try also. It's not terrible, it didn't knock my socks off and I guess I would rather continue to try new things and find favorites rather than eating something I am meh about.
Box #3
Summer Pudding- yogurt coated sunflower seeds, blackcurrants, sponge pieces and cranberries. This one was good. I would take a bite of the yogurt seeds with a bit of cranberries or currant and sponge and chew it all together and it would have a wonderful flavor. A little sweet but still good.
Olive and Rosemary Bruschetta- mini tomato breadsticks, rosemary and garlic cashews and kalamata olive crouton. YUM! Again, the savories are the way to go for me. I throw a package into my purse and always have a little something just in case. Photo from their website at graze.com.
Mississippi BBQ Pistachios- roasted pistachios with BBQ seasoning. Love them and so did my daughter. Not spicy, not sweet, just a good flavor with a kick.
Marvelous Macaroon: This box had the macaroon, but I just ate it today. See pic and review of it below
I will try to remember to update the offerings as I eat them!
Box #4
Super Berry Detox- blueberries, green raisins, goji berries and cranberries
Fruity Mango Chutney- fruity mango chutney with black pepper dippers . This was ok. The dippers were not the greatest but the chutney was good and was spicy sweet.
Marvelous Macaroon- originally in Box #3. Bits of coconut, almond slices, mini meringues and white chocolate buttons. I really liked this one. Mix and match the bits in each bite and get a little bit different taste each time.
Honeycomb Crunch- milk chocolate coated honeycomb, raisins and almonds
Cheddar Gorge- cheese cashews, baked herb bites and salsa corn sticks
Box #6
Black Pepper Pistachios- roasted pistachios with black pepper
Pina Colada- pineapple, coconut flakes and mango
Banoffee Pie- fudge pieces, almond slices, pecan nuts and banana coins
El Picante- jumbo salted corn, hot chili peanuts and mini paprika breadsticks
UPDATE
Box #5 - MIA - officially arrived as of 3/16, a little beat up but all the food was still sealed and intact!!
Honeycomb Flapjack- rustic rolled oat flapjack with honeycomb and milk chocolate
Hickory Smoked Nuts & Seeds- smoked almonds, smoked cashews, roasted pumpkin and roasted sunflower seeds
Bounty Hunter- milk chocolate drops, coconut flakes and cranberries
Smoky Gazpacho Dip- smoky gazpacho relish with wholemeal crisp bread slices. This was actually pretty good. It's almost a sweet BBQ with a little tang, like a smoked tomato marmalade. I like it but I needed a couple more of the little bread crisps to finish off the dip.
I love it too, it's probably becoming my favorite subscription. Here's to hoping for an extra invite or two at some point. I really do want to order another one on the every other week schedule for the kids.
