On to the box!
As per usual with the monthly boxes you do get a lot of leaflets. This is the most I have ever had inside a box. There are various companies whose products we are tasting, a voucher for another box and then also the guide to the products.
As you can see the meet the makers guide gives you all the information about the products inside, including if they are vegetarian, award winning, gluten free and nut free. Although I do think they made a mistake and labeled the nuts as nut free....Opps
Whats in the box!
Stuff! Well not just any stuff, some lovely food lets have a look at each item.
Now this blog I will just be showing the items in the box, there will be future blogs about the products.
First up we have 3 packets of The Dormen nuts, we have Bombay mix, caramelised cashew and peanut and finally we have smoked almond which for some strange reason I keep reading it as smoke salmon. From what I have found out The Dormen company do more than just nuts they do crips as well. Link is here
I have never tried this product, and I can say that I am really looking forward to the caramelised cashew and peanut they sound fantastic.
Next up we have a mulled spice pack, there are 3 "tea bags" in the pot. The aroma is so strong, you can really pick up the hints of clove, nutmeg and allspice. I will admit the clove is a tiny bit over powering. As you can see by the photo, there are whole cloves in the bag along with citrus zest. I happen to LOVE mulled wine and spiced drinks, so I shall be giving these a go. The instructions say add to a bottle of cider, red wine or apple juice and simmer for 10 minutes then its done! Perfect!
Next up two products from the Monty Bojangles range, Hot chocolate fudge and French ginger truffles.
I have seen the truffles before in Waitrose but never their fudge. My mum loves the ginger truffles, I sometimes get them for her as a little present. I never knew they made so many products until I had a look at their website!
Apparently Monty Bojangles is the cat in charge of the company...pretty cool. We even get a Monty seal of approval on the fudge! I had a peak inside and there are mini marshmallows worked into the fudge, I have a feeling it will be amazing!
Next on the list are the Angelix Rosemary and Sea Salt biscuits, its nice that they including something savoury in the box instead of all sweet items.
These are gluten free,dairy free and egg free, so perfect for people who are intolerant.
Whats cool is that the company which make these is based in Inverness just down the road from where I used to live in Scotland!
On their website they are showing the Rosemary and Sea Salt as being a new item in their range.I might save this so we can have cheese and biscuits one day.
Now on to the best part of the box!! A packet mix for cinnamon, white chocolate and cranberry muffin mix! I happen to have a massive thing for cinnamon, I love it with pretty much anything. So I am really excited about making these muffins. What I am going to do is a full blog post on the making the muffins and the most important part the tasting. I love that they put a large packet of muffin mix in the box. All I need is some vegetable oil, 60ml water and 1 egg. Perfect!
I must say I am rather impressed with this box, there is a nice range of products even if some of the items come from the same company.
