Munchpak December 2014

After a bit of a delay with shipping (which was totally my fault and was handled very quickly by the guys over at Munchpak) I received my very first Munchpak in the mail a few days ago.

What was in My Munchpak?

I had 12 snacks in my Munchpak and none of them were things I had never heard of or tried before which I was really happy about.

Cheetos Homeados Bolitas Mas Producto. These are a product of Mexico. To me these tasted kind of like the jalapeno Cheetos that we have here in the U.S but not as hot. I liked them alot.

Dora 3 Croissant with custard cocoa filling. This product originates from Italy. I really liked this but my only complaint is that there was not enough custard filling for me.

Delicje Cherry Flavored Biscuits.  This is a product of Europe. It is a soft biscuit with cherry flavored jelly covered with a layer of chocolate. These were also really good.

Bronhi Original Toffee with herb extracts. This is a product of Croatia. It is a soft candy mad with toffee and herbs. I personally didn't like it but my mom and aunt did so they didn't go to waste.

Pure sour and fruity gummy candy in the flavor grape. This is a product of Japan. They were just ther right combination of sour and sweet.

Nestle Lion bar. I'm not sure where his is from. It is a peanut butter wafer covered in caramel then covered by crisp cereal and chocolate. I really liked this as well.

A Guava roll. I'm not sure where this is from either. It is a gummy roll which I assume is guava flavored. I was not a fan of this at all but it wasn't the worst thing in my Munchpak.

Animal Kingdom chocolate bar. This is another product of Croatia. It just a simple chocolate bar but it was really good.

Solen Crazy Extra bar. This product is made in Turkey. It is a milk chocolate coated wafer with crispy rice. I think this was my favorite thing in my Munchpak.

e. frutti Gummi Pizza. I think this is a German product. It was just small gummy pizza slices. I liked it.

BubuLubu candy bar. This is a product of Mexico. It is strawberry flavored jelly and marshmallow covered in chocolate. This was very tasty too.

Some kind of Japanese rice crackers. I didn't get a picture of these because once I tasted one I immediately threw them away. I did not like these at all. They were worst than the guava roll.

And finally we have an unmarked gummy bear. It was also good.

Was it Worth it?

Overall I liked my first Munchpak. It had a wide variety of snacks and the fact that non of them were from the U.S was a big plus to me. Even with the two snacks that I did not like, I enjoyed my first Munchpak and I plan on continuing  my subscription.

Whats in my Box

This is the Tasting Box

Pitted Green Olives by Olympos. I personally despise olives so I gave them to my aunt. She really enjoyed these.

Hazelnut Spread by Nocciolata. This was really tasty. To me it tasted like Nutella but more gourmet.

Cookie Chips by Hannah Max. These were also really good. They were crunchy but not to hard and sweet but not to sweet. Everything about these were just perfect.

Espresso Candies by Bali's Best. I'm also not a fan of coffee or espresso so I also gave these to my aunt. She liked these a lot too. She said they did taste like espresso but not so much that it was like eating a cup of espresso.

Chocolate Honey Mints by Honey Acres.  These tasted like peppermint patties with a drop of honey. They are gluten free so that' a plus in my book. Good thing they only sent 2 because I could have eaten 20 of these.

Dark Chocolate Coconut by Next By Nature. The best way I can describe them is as a deconstructed mounds bar. 

Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels by Liddabit Sweets. These were good but the sea salt was a bit much for me.

Kettle Corn by Oogies. These were great. They were just the right amount of sweet.

Was This Box Worth It

Overall I was very happy with this box. Every thing was delicious.You get to try different healthy snacks and many of these snacks are things I have never heard of or tried. I think this box was well worth it and I plan on continuing my subscription.

Mystery Chocolate Box December 2014 Review

I have recently been wanting to try out more subscription boxes and in my quest for something different I came across a subscription service called Mystery Chocolate Box.

The Cost
You can subscribe to Mystery Chocolate for the following prices:
Monthly- $17.95
3 Months- $50.85
Annual- $191

Ships To
The U.S and Canada

What You Get
Each box contains 3 gourmet mystery chocolate bars, a letter with hints about what each bar might be, instructions on how to do a chocolate box tasting, a card to write down your guesses for each bar, and  a card with nutritional  and allergy info.

This Months Box
 Bar A:

Bar A is described as a candy you might enjoy this time of year, plus a little twist. This bar is from The Madecasse chocolate company (I only know this because its imprinted on the chocolate bar). To me it tastes like dark chocolate with mint flavoring. Kind of like a York's peppermint patty but not exactly.

Bar B: 

The description for bar B says "The spices in this bar might be reminiscent of another sweet holiday treat". This chocolate bar it imprinted with the Theo Chocolate Company logo and like Bar A it tastes like dark chocolate and mint.

Bar C: 

Bar C is described to taste like a hot drink you would enjoy in front of the fire. There is no brand imprint on this bar. I think this bar is milk chocolate and it has little balls of what I assume to be coconut (coconut is listed as an ingredient on the allergy info card).

Is It Worth It?

In my opinion this box is very much worth it. I honestly believe you cant go wrong with chocolate and each bar in this box was absolutely delicious.As a plus,with each box sent out by Mystery Chocolate Box two meals are donated to help fight world hunger. How can you go wrong with getting to try awesome chocolate while helping fight world hunger at the same time? If you're thinking about trying this subscription but your a little skeptical I definitely recommend trying it. I really loved my first Mystery chocolate box
