Bequet Caramel Assortment $8.50

This assortment comes with cinnamon swirl, salted butterscotch, and chocolate! They are made in Montreal. I feel like we are always getting caramels in our boxes. These are delicious but I feel like caramels are caramels. Nothing show-stopping about these.

Keenas Kake Designs Fudgeez Chocolate Brownie $4.50

Honestly They look a lot better on the website. The brownie has a hard exterior but the inside is some what moist and chewy. I think if I put this in the toaster oven for a bit then it would taste amazing and just made. But as is, I wouldn’t recommend it.

Hard Crack Cookies $4

I received four variations of the toffee cookies – Orginal, Chocolate Chip, and Mocha. They are very thin and crunchy and have a shortbread texture to them. I thought my favorite would have been the mocha but I’m actually more of a fan of the original. The mocha had some coffee beans going on and I just wasn’t feeling it.

I payed $20 and received $17, This is the lowest amount I have ever received in a treatise box. And I’m not even too thrilled with the curation this month. I wish they had a box that was devoted to just chocolate. What did you think of this months box?

Treatsie Sweets Subscription – Review – September 2014

Treatsie Sweets Subscription Box only $15 / month + $4.95 Shipping & Handling. Each box includes amazing artisan sweets from 3 – 4 small, independent vendors, which change every month, and has a retail value of $20 – $25 before shipping. This is a monthly subscription and you can cancel anytime.

It did not come in a insulated bag this month, I guess because it isn’t as hot this month in New York or maybe because the items in the box won’t really melt.

Quince & Apple $9 Tart cherry and white tea preserves , they suggest to top this on a cheesecake, yogurt, ice cream, and even chicken! It smells and tastes like fall, I can’t not wait to try this with my chicken tonight!

Béquet Confections $8 I received 9 of these caramels in celtic sea salt, classic soft, and salted mocha. They are so good, but I don’t really taste a difference between the three of them though. Even though my sister said she could and said that the sea salt one was the best. I enjoyed them all!

J&M Fine Foods Chocolate Chip Cookies $2.90  I’ve tried their key lime cookies before, I really enjoyed these cookies. They were delicious. I wasn’t expecting much from them I don’t know why, maybe because I prefer my cookies to be soft and warm, fresh from the oven and these are a little bit harder. But they were great and uphold their delicious reputation.

I payed $20 and received $19.90 in this box. Thats a little low, this wasn’t the best box nor my favorite, but it was still good. What did you think of the september box?

A newspaper envelope

Inside the newspaper envelope were individual cards about each item in the box explaining what each item is and its background.

This is first glance at the box unveiled!

The first thing I took out of this box was. Le Caramel Chocolate Caramels $6.25 .  These chocolate caramels are absolutely delicious! They taste like brownie batter in little cubes!

 IMG_1491

The next item that caught my eye was this chocolate bar by Two Snooty Chefs Chocolate and Gourmet Spice $3.25 Unfortunately for me the spice with this chocolate bar did not mix for me. It made me feel like I was eating BBQ chocolate, so this was not a hit for me. IMG_3796

The next item were these cookies by Carols Cookies, $5.00 each? on their website they do not sell individual cookies so I do not know how much each one is. but these cookies are handmade and all natural. They weigh 1/2 a pound each! i have received Toffee Crunch and Peanut Butter Chocolate. I tried a piece of the Toffee Crunch and it was heavenly, the Peanut Butter Chocolate one was good too, i’m just not a huge fan of Peanut butter. These cookies are definitely delicious and you can absolutely taste the freshness. They also have a cookie of the month club!

The Last Items were Torie &Howard Organic Hard Candy $4.99 EachThese candies are gluten free, wheat free, casein free, soy free, dairy free, have no artificial dyes, no nuts, no GMOs, and no corn syrup. I have received D’anjou Pear & Cinnamon and Blood Orange & Honey. They are only 12 calories each! The pear and cinnamon was very good, it had flavors of breakfast, but i enjoyed it. The Blood Orange & Honey was more of what i was expecting from this candy. It was much more fruitier and a little sour. It tasted more like Candy then a breakfast.

I paid $28.99 for this box and have received $27.50, It was fun to experience new foods but I don’t think I will be ordering another box unless if i have a coupon. What did you think of this months Taste Trunk?
