Love With Food March 2016 Review

Well, Love With Food offered a very nice discount on their 3 month subscription which brought the cost down to around $5 a box... so of course I jumped on the deal. Love with Food is my favorite subscription box. It offers three boxes - 

Tasting box - 8+ snacks, 1 donated meal, 10 points for your account each month, and it can be as low as $7.99 a month.

Deluxe box - 16 to 20 snacks, 2 donated meals, 20 points for account each month, and it can cost as low as $16.50 a month.

Gluten Free Box - 10 - 12 gluten free snacks, 2 donated meals, 20 points for your account each month, and it can cost as low as $19.99 a month. 

I feel like this box is very affordable and offers a great range of snacks. If you're seriously looking for new snacks - this is the box to try. I've gone on to purchase many items I've received in LWF boxes. You also earn points for each box you receive and for each product you review after trying it. You can use those points to purchase snacks in their online store. 

What I received this month:

Horizon Organic Fruit Snacks - these were good. Nothing too special about them, except that they are organic. 

Olympos Pitted Green Olives - I'm not a fan of green olives so I give these to my dad who says they're really good.

Dolcetto Lemon Wafers - Holy cow. I love these things. And I don't even like lemon flavored stuff. They're very good, flaky, and the cream is amazing. They also make really good cookies and cream wafers.

Almond Roca - meh. This was okay. Nothing spectacular. 

Salty Road Peppermint Salt Water Taffy - oh I am not a fan of peppermint taffy, but others enjoyed this.

Nature's Bakery strawberry fig bar - It was okay, moist and not dry at all. I'm not a huge fan of fig bars either. 

Stonefire Naan crisps - these are a great little snack that you can pair up with some cheese or meat. 

Pork Clouds fried pork skins - *gag* Another thing I literally cannot stomach. My boyfriend loved them though. 

Overall this was an okay box. I love the Dolcetto lemon wafers and will continue to buy them online after discovering them through LWF. It's also nice to have things in here you might be able to find in stores more easily if you like them - like the naan crisps or the Horizon products.

Munchpak March 2016 Review

So I gave a new snack box a try! Munchpak is a snackbox subscription that will send you snacks from around the world. They offer:

Mini box (5-6 snacks)           $9.95

Original box (10+ snacks)    $19.95

Family box (20+ snacks)      $39.95

The shipping is free if you are in the USA, but the box can ship internationally for an additional charge. You can subscribe to receive your box weekly, biweekly, or once a month. I opted for once a month and also had a $3 off coupon for the Original box. You can also customize your boxes for an additional charge. Onto the snacks and my opinions!

Cream Collon - A product of Japan, this was definitely pretty tasty. It was like cream inside of a wafer of sorts. It really reminded me of those E.L. fudge cookies taste, but more of a vanilla flavor. Wafer was thin, flaky, and good.

Yummy Gummy fizzy cola - Upon opening the package, I could definitely smell the cola. They're pretty good. Nothing to get overly excited about, but I could definitely munch on these absentmindedly until the bag is all gone. May be a product of Turkey?

Sour Punch - You can get these right here in the good ol' US of A. And I've honestly never had Sour Punch before. They're okay. It's a nice flavor combination, and not too sour. 

Yep. This picture is upside down. Whoops. 

??? (Product on the far right)- Product of Japan and I don't know what it's called. Or what it is. Upon eating it, I still don't know what it is. It's like some sort of taffy cube that has a liquid center that fizzes a bit. It definitely reminds me of cola, which is what I can guess the flavor is based on the soda cup on the package. Anyone know what this is? Name? 

ChocoTreasure Madagascar - A chocolate egg with a plastic one inside that contains a small toy or puzzle. These types of treats used to be banned in the USA. Not anymore!! I got a cute little penguin figure in mine. Chocolate was okay. Pretty much breaking apart upon unwrapping it, though. 

Zozole Musss- Product of Poland, another cola flavored candy. I'm starting to see a trend here. Otherwise, other countries sure do love making cola- based candy. This one is a hard candy that has some sort of powdery? center that creates the fizz taste/sensation that you'd get when drinking a cola. Not all impressed with that compared to other soda fizzy candies I've had, at least from Japan. The overall flavor, though, is really good. 

Tropical Treat Island Flavors - a product of the USA, I believe. This one was really flippin' weird. It had the texture and overall taste of compressed coconut, which now looking at the ingredients I see is what this is made out of. Was not expecting that - I thought it looked a bit like another gummy. When I try the different colors I only taste the coconut until I get to the Pineapple/Banana section which is the only one that tastes like what it's supposed to be. I kind of like the coconut concept, but not an overall fan of that Banana/Pineapple area. Very cool idea though. 

Daim - Product of Sweden. Essentially seems like one long, thin, toffee bar covered in chocolate. It was really good, I liked it. 

Troy - Product of I believe to be Bulgaria. It is a wafer covered in chocolate. Reminds me of a nutty bar, except lighter and without the peanut butter. It's pretty good. 

YoYo Taffy Bites Candy - I thought it was pretty cool to incorporate candy into a toy. However, the string is a little shorter than the typical yoyo I'm used to so that was a bit disappointing. The candy is.. odd. Not sure how to describe it. It looks like it would be hard candy, but it's quite chewing - not as chewy as taffy would be though. It's interesting, but not a huge fan of it. 

Overall I'm disappointed that Munchpak doesn't include some sort of card or pamphlet that tells you what in the world the names of some of these are if they're from Japan or something, or what the item is. Maybe even a clearer message of where they're from so you don't have to guess from the back of the package. I do like being able to receive snacks from all over the world. Even some of the USA ones (Tropical Treat) were cool to receive as they were definitely something I've never tried or heard of before. 

Love with Food December 2014 Box Review

Looking for new snacks to try? Gluten free, no artificial junk, GMO free? Want to make sure you're helping to feed hungry children in America? This may be the subscription box for you!

Love with Food is a monthly food subscription box. They offer three different boxes to suit your needs and price ranges.  You can earn points on their site which you can eventually use to purchase foods and snacks on their site. You can earn points with a box subscription, writing reviews on the products you receive, and by referring friends. 

Tasting Box - $10/month for 8+ snacks. 10 points a month just for receiving the box. Every box you receive donates 1 meal to a hungry child in America. 

Deluxe Box - $17/month for 16-20 snacks. 20 points a month for receiving the box. Every box you receive donates 2 meals to hungry children in America.

Gluten Free Box - $24.50/month for 8-12 snacks. 20 points a month for receiving the box. Every box you receive donates 2 meal to hungry children in America. 

I ordered the Tasting Box with a special promotion so it was only $2.  The following is what I received:

 Honey-Acres Dark Chocolate Honey Mint (2 candies)
I'm personally not a fan of dark chocolate or chocolate candies that contain mint. I gave it to my boyfriend to try. He enjoyed them.

Bali's Best Espresso Candy (2 candies)
Ohhhh I really loved these, and I'm not even a huge fan of coffee. Maybe it's because these had a little bit of sweetness to them. It's a hard candy with a coffee flavor. These are really great and I would definitely buy them.

Liddabit Sweets (2 caramels)
These were okay. I prefer my caramels to be sweeter. The salt helped, however it seemed like the salt was situated on one side of the caramel and being that I didn't pop the whole thing in my mouth - one of my bites involved a mouthful of salt.

Nocciolata Organic Hazelnut Spread (1 sample packet)
I don't like chocolate spreads, so I wasn't a fan of it - but I could recognize that it would definitely be a good competitor with Nutella.

Olympos Pitted Green Olives

I was quite surprise to see olives in a snack box, that they found a way to package them. I wont be trying these because I'll be regifting them to my father who enjoys olives.

Next by Nature Dark Chocolate Coconut

These were really good as well. I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, but these were good. Reminded me of Almond Joy candy a bit. A great ratio of chocolate and coconut slices. 

Crunchy Cookie Chips

I've seen these in stores recently and was always curious to try them. They were good, surprisingly sweet so I could only eat a few of them at a time. It definitely tasted like a crunchy cookie. I may buy them in the future, to try the chocolate chip ones.

Oogies Gourmet Popcorn Kettle Corn

This. This right here was amazing. I normally don't like kettle corn, but boy did I munch my way through this bag right away. I will DEFINITELY be buying this product soon. It was the right amount of sweetness and crunch. Even the smell was amazing. 

Overall this box was great, especially for my $2 deal, so I wont be cancelling and will continue to receive it for $10 a month. I may even upgrade to the Deluxe one. So this would be a great site to check out if you want to give your Gluten - free friends a gift subscription to their gluten free box. 

And if you want the same sort of deal I got, click my referral link below and get your first box free, you'll only have to pay the $2 so they can ship it to you. You can very easily cancel after your first box, if you aren't impressed or if you can't afford the monthly recurring subscription.
