Treatsie: January 2015

I'm so excited that my delicious Treatsie box came in the mail. Treatsie is a subscription that is $19 a month and sends a selection of artisan sweets. I have never received something in a Treatsie box that I didn't love. 

The January Goodies:

-Biscuit Gourmet Biscotti The Muse: These are chocolate biscotti with chunks of dark Belgian chocolate. 

-Buddha Chocolate Almond Butter Cup: This cup is hand-poured, slow-roasted almond butter paired with stone-ground dark chocolate. 

-Dallas Caramel Company Armadillos and Caramel Assortment: The Armadillos are Texas pecans sandwiched between caramel and dark chocolate. The caramel assortment includes the flavors apple pie, chocolate, cinnamon, coconut, orange, original, sea salt, and Texas drunken nut.

My thoughts: This box is on-point. I love caramels and I can't wait to dis the biscotti in a warm winter drink. I've never ad an almond butter cup, so I'm interested to try that as well. Great job, Treatsie Sweets!!

Treatsie: December 2014

TREATSIE was my last December subscription box to arrive, but it is also one that was WORTH THE WAIT!! I love Treatsie. It's $19 a month and sends a selection of 4 yummy handmade treats! I have never received a Treatsie box that I didn't love, and this month is no exception.

The goodies:

-Newfangled Confections Frittle: Frittle is a cross between peanut brittle and peanut fudge. It's crispy, but not nearly impossible to eat like brittle can be. Anything peanut butter is always a win for me.

-Ticket Chocolate Peppermit Hot Chocolate on a Stick: This is a belgian milk chocolate block and an old-fashioned peppermint stick combined together to be stirred into hot milk to make a fresh cup of cocoa. Cocoa is one of my very favorite cold weather treats. I can't wait to try this!

Grey Ghost Bakery Cranberry Orange Pcan Cookies: I love the combination of orange and cranberry, and pecans add extra yumminess to any cookie. These cookies came in a pack of two. I can't decide if I will share or eat them both!

-Serendipity Confections Gingerbread Caramels: Caramel is so yummy, and gingerbread is a lovely holiday flavor. A bonus- these are organic! 

My thoughts: Who doesn't love artisan sweets? No one that I know. I am so excited to try each of these goodies. The flavors in the box remind me of the holidays. Perfect!

Treatsie: November 2014

I always love when Treatsie comes in the mail. The goodies are always so yummy!

This month's first look:

And the info card:

The goodies:

-Megpies

-Fixx Chocolates Bar

-Alcove Chocolate

My thoughts: Who doesn't love an assortment of goodies? While I'm not a fan of dark chocolate, my sister is and I'm sure she'll love the chocolates from Alcove Chocolate. Two of those pieces were milk, so I'll be keeping those for me. The magpies are essentially PopTarts that are handmade and way fresher. I'm so excited to try these. And the Fixx Chocolates bar seems like all good things in a candy bar. So, once again an awesome box from Treatsie!!

Treatsie October 2014

This is my first month of Treatsie and I LOVE IT!

My packaged shipped via USPS and took 2 days to arrive once shipped. It costs $19.95/month and includes 3 artisan goodies. This month I also used a promo code for extra goodies. 

The box arrived inside of a USPS mailer. Once removed, this is what the box looked like:

I opened it...

Removed the cards...

Folded back the tissue paper...

And there were treats!

First were the 2 hard candy mixes from Papabubble. These retail for $4.50 each. 

Next was the Original Dark Chocolate La-Dee-Dah from Whimsical Treats, retailing for $3. This is white chocolate nougat and sea salt caramel swirl dipped in dark chocolate. 

Then I pulled out the Wondermade apple cinnamon marshmallows. These retail for $9. 

Next came the extras...

AvenueSweets Caramels in apple cinnamon and pumpkin spice. Retail is about $6.  

TCHO "Mokaccino" bar, retails for $5.95. 

And last but not least, Kika's Treats Caramelized Graham Crackers in Pure Dark Chocolate, retails for $8. 

I loved this box. Even without the extra treats, it was worth the subscription. Retail value before the extras is $21 and the treats are so awesome. With the extras, the total retail value is $41. I have never seen any of these companies or goodies before, and I am super excited to try them all and share them with my family. I'm loving treatsie and cannot wait for next month!!

Goodbye Fancy Box, Hello Treatsie

So I've decided after 2 months of the Rockettes Fancy Box that I'm going to cancel my subscription. The items in the boxes have been neat and very true to the theme, but I ended up trading the items from both boxes. Because of this, I think the box isn't for me and it's time to cancel and save my money. 

In other news, I've subscribed to the Treatsie box. It's a good subscription box that sends you confections on a monthy basis. As a bonus, it costs less than the Fancy box that I'm dropping. I'm excited to get some unique treats!
