Love with Food August 2013

My August Love with Food box arrived!  This is a great box for $10.00 a month. What I like best about this box, is that all of the samples that come in the box are perfectly sized for packing in my lunch  for work.  All I have to do is bring a main item and a drink and throw some samples in the lunchbox and I'm good to go and out of the house! 

First Look!

 As it is every month, each box purchased through the sample program donates a meal to a child in need in the U.S. How great and easy is that!?

 This month's theme is "Backyard BBQ"

 Rip van Wafels Caramel Filled Amsterdam Wafel I have never heard of an Amsterdam Wafel before. 

Sahale Snacks 'Sahale Crunchers' in Cranberries, Sesame Seeds and Honey

 Dizzy Pig 'Dizzy Dust' My sister saw this sample and immediately stole it from me. They BBQ and grill a lot so she said that she could use this spice rub. 

Save the Earth from "Project 7" Mints in Fresh Mint. I love the test tube packaging on these mints.  They taste really nice, but I wouldn't say that I feel a breath freshening effect after the mint dissolves.  The tube states that "Every tray of "Save the Earth" mints plants 10 fruit trees back into the earth." 

 Bops Potato Snack in Sea Salt I was expecting these to taste like potato chips, but they taste nothing like them.  I really enjoyed the sea salt flavor and would be open to try the other flavors. I saw these for sale at a local Home Goods store. 

Aunt Sally's Creamy Pralines in 'Original Creamy' Before receiving this product, I had never had a praline before. This was a really creamy, nutty candy.  There were pecan pieces throughout the product that were really nice in the candy. I don't think I would have been able to eat this without the nuts. 

Snapea Crisps in Lightly Salted I have had these before and usually pick them up from World Market.  It was really nice to get a lunch sized pack.  I really like the flavor of these. 

El Pinto Salsa

I really liked all of the products in this month's box. I"m not sure how they all went with the "Backyard BBQ" theme, but that can be forgiven.

Review: Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes

I received this Tastykake Kandy Bar Kakes bar in the S'mores flavor in my Influenster Vox Box.

The bar was coated in hardened chocolate and had graham cracker crumbles sprinkled on the bar. 

Thickness of the bar. 

The cake was tasty and was there was a creamy frosting in-between the layers of cake. The flavor was good. Sweet without being sickly sweet.  I really liked that the chocolate that surrounded the bar held up and wasn't just a thin layer. The only thing that I didn't really like about this was that the cake wasn't very moist. I don't know if I just didn't notice it at the beginning or if the other end was different than the one I started on. But when I came to the end of the bar, the cake was dry 

In all I liked the flavor of this bar and would probably eat it again. I haven't seen any of these cakes in the stores. Maybe I just haven't noticed them. I can't really say if I would purchase these or not. For the most part, I prefer savory snacks over sweet ones, but the mood might strike and I could see myself buying a box of these. 

**I received these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.
