I received one scoop of every item in their bulk candy selection from their bulk candy selections! I estimated the price because it is a tad smaller than the munch bag that comes with the Munch Box.

20140423-164543.jpg

I received around $9 in themed candies, which considering food subscriptions rarely add up to their value is not too terribly off!  The handpick tastes and experiences you receive is an immeasurable experience! I love the fact that candy has the tendency to bring the kid out of you!

A portion of proceeds from each box will go to help doggies-in-need.


Here is my April 2014 Barkbox  review!


20140423-161013.jpg


Barkbox customizes your dog’s box based on your dog’s size, all items in this box are for my 14+ pound Miniature Pincher Naps (named that because he always naps and has a Napoleon complex). Your Subscription box will include a detailed card (pictured Above) labeling the items included.


20140423-161034.jpg


Mr. BarkSmith’s Cool Treats All Natural Smoothies For Dogs in Carrot Cake $2


The perfect cold treat for our day of gardening!!! My pup digs the holes and I cover them up… It comes with the package in our garden!


20140423-161113.jpg


Etta Says! Duck Meat Treat  $12


Ever since I started Barkbox… my dog has been a fan of duck meat! The odor smells no different than any other dog treat, with exceptions of gator…. gator has an extremely strong scent!


20140423-161135.jpg


Barkworthies Chew  $3


The chew is always in every box and now my dog can immediately sense it is in the box!


20140423-161201.jpg


Off Leash Smokey Beef Recipe Treats  $6


I love that these treats are relatively small and can be used as the perfect treat for training!


20140423-161225.jpg


Go Dog Unimals $10


First the nose on the toy was demolished and then gradually he decided to play tug-of-war! I am always fascinated on how my dog recognizes his toys from my kids stuffed animals that always are laying around!


 


Barkbox always saves me that dreaded trip to the pet store, where I always impulse buy and spend too much money on so called deals for my pup. Pet Smart is like Walmart… you go there for one thing and come out of there with more stuff than you can physically use in a month! With Barkbox I can relax at home, and have confidence that every month Naps (my pup) will be taken care of within a budgeted amount

Inside the clear bag was a bundle of hand picked treats… All candies were fresh and it brought back the nostalgia of going into a  Candy Shop to get these yummy treats as opposed to our neighborhood grocery store! I grew up eating the Haribo  Small Cola Bottles (above) there were more in the picture, but before I knew it they just started disappearing!

Check out the meals I ordered from the Wednesday April 23rd  delivery (You get to Pick any three): Seared Steak, Lamb Pitas, and Asian Chicken Salad!


20140423-170934.jpg


 


Every order comes with the Recipe Cards for each of your selections. I selected 3 different meals from  the April 23rd 2014 Selections. Every order arrives just when they say it will and comes in a huge box like a chest, insulated with foam and ice packs!


20140423-171156.jpg


 


Seared Steak 


Included are recipe cards that rest inside the box. Here is the front of the Recipe card for the first order.


I enjoy how each item is perfectly measured and freshly delivered. The meals are never over-complicated.  I am a simple eater and in a weird way adventurous, so it did not surprise me at all that I have not heard or tried some of these ingredients before.20140423-183749.jpg


The first meal was my absolute favorite! I was surprised that everyone (kids included) cleaned there plates!  I am always intimidated with what appeared to be new foods or techniques (curse you Food Network), so the subscription allows me the ease and know how to try and even cook new and different foods!


20140423-171411.jpg


 


The Second Recipe -  Asian Chicken Salad


The ingredients for each of my meals are separated and ready for cooking. Prep is a cinch, which most of the time I am always tired before I even cook after the scavenger hunt of finding the right ingredients and prepping everything.


The step-by-step recipe cards that are included are handy! The front of the Recipe card is pictured above. The recipe cards allow me to prep and cook this meal in less than 30 minutes!  I can even save the recipe cards for repeat recipes I want to make totally on my own if I choose!


20140423-183821.jpg


 


The Second meal was my first attempt to make an Asian chicken Salad! My husband ate all his veggies, but my daughter tossed Ranch Dressing on her’s…. what! The girl loves ranch dressing!


20140423-171626.jpg


The Third Recipe -  Lamb Pitas


Again, the ingredients for each of my meals are separated and ready for cooking making prep a cinch.


20140424-175259.jpg


 


The lamb pitas were awesome! The meat was super fresh and the veggies were crunchy! I did not realize that lamb was as easy to cook; kind of like cooking ground beef but with mint.


The one reason I love these food subscription boxes is because of how I can easily create a new and fresh meal flawlessly every week or at least once a month (meals took under 30 minutes each)!


It is amazing the items my husband and kids are trying with these boxes. My husband especially has seen that he is not as picky when hearing the name of an ingredient is in the food, because most of the time he smells it and it smells fantastic! He is the pickiest eater, and I have found that this experience has allowed us to try many items that I would never have bought before, mainly due to his taste for food being so particular and plain!


The menu is updated weekly and I love how they have ton’s of recipes each week!!! You can skip multiple weeks, and there is no membership fee!


My prior Hello Fresh  order  (click here to see the  review) was amazing! I was able to cook with minimal preparation and everything I made tasted fresh and delightful.


At just $8.16 per plate with the coupon for three completely different meals you get to choose, it is so worth the splurge… come  on be adventurous and give your taste-buds a present!
