Edited to Add: Candy Pack is no longer in business.
Candy Pack, who kindly sent me this package to review, is a brand new monthly candy subscription service. Each month, they choose 3-5 different kinds of candy from a new country and ship it directly to you. Options range from 1lb of candy all the way up to 8lbs of candy each month.
Candy Pack ships via USPS Priority Mail and arrived at my door in two days. I got a ton of boxes on Saturday (#dreamcometrue), but Candy Pack was one I called all my boys in to open up and test out with me.
Candy Pack scored points with me right off the bat with their use of washi tape. So many unexpected uses for washi.
Candy Pack includes an information card, which I was so thankful for. No way would I have been able to figure these out without one. The card tells you were the candies are from, the flavors they are and a little about the taste of the candy. Here is what the January 2014 Candy Pack included:
~Hardy’s Original Sweet Shop Sour Pips (London) (Blue Raspberry and Watermelon): Okay, yeah, the card was not kidding when they said that these were sour – with the watermelon being the more sour of the two. L and I both tried it and couldn’t handle it. B manned up and finished his (he actually had a Blue Raspberry and then a Watermelon), but he agreed that they were the sourest (is that even a word) candy he ever had!
~A La Mere de Famille (Paris) (Vanille a la fleur de sel, Cafe, Chocolat Touron Pistache and Calipra: Praline): A La Mere de Famille is the oldest sweet shop in Paris and just tasting a few of these caramels makes me want to visit. They were delicious. Totally delicious.
~Perugina Rossana Hard Candies (Italy): These candies have a hard vanilla shell with a creamy egg-nog center. B wasn’t expecting the filling and was a little surprised by it. The hard shell was my favorite part and the filling was just ok.
I didn’t do a cost breakdown for this box because I wasn’t even sure where to begin! The Candy Pack I received contained 1lb of candy, which is $24.99/month. If you are looking to try some very unique treats, I suggest you give this one a go. I had no idea that a candy that sour actually existed. It is something else.
