Here is what was in my October box.
Degustabox says: 'Special K Cracker Crisps, the deliciously moreish savoury snack that you can feel good about. Delightfully thin crisps with a distinctive, satisfying crunch, at 60% less fat than the average fat content of most other crisps on sale in the UK and ROI. Available in a tempting range of tantalising flavours, Sea Salt and Balsamic Vinegar, Sour Cream and Onion, Sweet Chilli and Barbecue. Find them in most stores in 23g individual packs, 80g sharing packs or 4x21g multi packs.'
I have tried the other various flavours in the Special K cracker crisps range already. BBQ is one of my favourite flavours of crisps so I was looking forward to trying the new flavour. I loved these and would defiantly purchase them myself.
Degustabox says: 'Britain's Beat Tasting Sweet Chilli Sauce! It's a quick and easy way to make your everyday food taste great. Available in Sainsburys, Asda, Tesco, Morrisons and Waitrose.'
My partners brother is obsessed with chilli sauce and loves the Blue Dragon one so the two bottles from this box where past onto him to use.
Degustabox says: 'Getbuzzing offer a range of 100% natural healthy eating flapjacks that complement a well balanced diet by providing fast and slow releasing energy that will keep you going for longer. A perfect on the go snack that also taste great. Visit www.getbuzzing.co.uk to see and purchase our new range and enjoy 10% off your order with discount code 'newbuzz10'.
My partners mum tried the Get Buzzing bar as it did not appeal to anyone in the house. She said it was okay but a bit bland and she would not repurchase.
Degustabox says: 'Small, fabulous and packed with natural flavour, enhance is designed especially for an adult palate. One quick squeeze transforms your water into a delicious, light fruity drink helping you stay hydrated anywhere, anytime. made with real fruit juice and with no added sugar, enhance is only 1 calorie a drink. Available from Asda and Ocado.'
I think these are a great idea for people who are always on the go. I have this one in my bag for work as I can just grab a glass of water and instantly turn it into juice. I would consider repurchasing the Enhance drinks when mine runs out.
Degustabox says: 'The meal kits are a one, two, three step to an authentic, delicious meal in just 20 minutes. Use the three clever pots and add a few fresh ingredients to create a restaurant quality meal. All natural ingredients and perfect to keep in the store cupboard for when you need meal inspiration.'
We have not used the kit we received in our box just yet. Watch out for an update once we have tried the kit.
Degustabox says: 'Solo Marshmallow Creme is a delicious spreadable sweet marshmallow treat that offers amazing versatility as a baking ingredient and tastes just as good straight from the tub. Available at americansoda.co.uk and selected other outlets, Solo Marshmallow Creme comes in original and toasted flavours, perfect for all kinds of uses.'
Once again we have not used this but I am quite looking forward to making some fudge for our the festive period.
Degustabox says: 'NEW! Dr. Oetker Premium 90% Extra Dark Chocolate contains 90% coca solids and is made from single origin Ghanaian cocoa beans which delivers an intensely indulgent chocolate taste to all your baking. This is ideal for melting and using in your favourite chocolate recipes, for more chocolate indulgence visit oetker.co.uk/chocolate.'
My partners dad made a chocolate cake with the Dr. Oetker items we received in Novembers box. The dark chocolate was incredible rich and quite bitter. Personally I would not repurchase the 90% extra dark chocolate.
Degustabox says: 'Bear paws are a delicious pure fruit snack with no added sugar, concentrates or any other nonsense. Gently baker into playful paw prints, they whisk kids off for a walk on the wild side, with 5 paw prints to find in each bag. Find us in all the supermarkets, in the baby and toddles aisle.'
Sadly another product that did not go down to well. I personally did not like the taste and texture of the paw bites. I think they are an excellent idea for kids as an after school snack before dinner.
Degustabox says: 'NEW! De. Oetker Fine Dark Cocoa Powder is made from the finest quality cocoa beans and is specifically created for home baking to give a rich dark chocolate and flavour. Perfect for convenience and freshness, each multipack contains three pre-measured 25g sachets and comes with a free recipe card.'
As I mentioned my partners dad made a chocolate cake with these ingredients. The chocolate sponge was delicious with the chocolate powder added to it. I would defiantly recommend it and would repurchase.
Degustabox says: 'The brioche loaf is made using the same traditional methods as our rolls. Delightful at any time of day and versatile as a snack, meal or ingredient, this load is sliced for your convenience and ready to go.'
I found this great as a quick snack when I got in from work. I also found it great for when I had a sweet craving.
Degustabox says: 'There are over 100 true-to-life Jelly Belly jelly bean flavours. With their intensely juicy taste, made from the finest ingredients available, every single bean can take up to 21 days to create. It's true! Jelly Belly is the ultimate flavour adventure and every foodie's worst kept secret.'
My partner ate these as I am not a big fan of jelly beans. He enjoyed them and like the flavour. He would recommend and repurchase.
Degustabox says: 'We used the same traditional recipe and baking expertise as the Pain au Lait and added some delicious dark chocolate chips. These rolls are soft and tasty, and ideal for a sweet snack or for breakfast.'
These were a breakfast option for me as I tend to grab breakfast as I am heading out the door to work. I love the added chocolate chips and would defiantly recommend and repurchase.
