I got my 1st box a little while ago. It was so exciting to get but I ended up eating a bunch of it right away, sharing some, and then using the leftovers in my oatmeal the next morning so it didn't even last a whole day!
Here's my reviews:
Lost Army: Oriental Cracker Mix with Peanut Crackers - I think I orginally had this as like, but I had to trash this. I wanted to like it and I really did enjoy the rice crackers a lot! The peanut crackers were just okay, but the reason I had to trash it was that a few of the rice crackers were actually spicy! The only problem was I couldn't tell which ones were spicy and which ones weren't, so it was always a surprise. If I could tell which was which I might have kept it at like or moved it to try.
Tropical Sundae: Pineapple, Mango, and Banana Coins. I really enjoyed this except some of the mango was really hard. I ended up downgrading it from like to love for that reason alone. Maybe the next time I get it I'll change my mind and move it back to love because the combination was really yummy. Loved the pineapples and the banana coins were great as well. (I kind of feel like some walnuts or pecans might make this even better.)
Date and Banana Loaf: Cinnamon Spiced Raisins, Yogurt Coated Sunflower Seeds, Chopped Dates and Banana Coins. The cinnamon raisins are really sublte but fabulous if you like cinnamon. So are the yogurt coated sunflower seeds. I love dates already, I think this is why I had this one marked as love orginally. The banana makes a good addition (but I really had way too much banana in this box). Keeping this one at love. Used the leftovers in my oats in the morning.
Banoffee Pie: Fudge Pieces, Almond slices, Pecan nuts, & Banana Coins. Holy crap this was good! Definitely keeping at LOVE. I tried this one last and I thought I'd be sick of the Banana coins but the pecans really bring out the flavor and this is overall amazing. And the fudge pieces were so yum yum. I liked to make a little stack to get all the flavors at once! Love love love! (Also put this one in my oats the next morning.)
I haven't gotten my 2nd or 3rd box yet. At this rate, I felt like I was going to be charged for my 4th box before even getting the 2nd box. A little disappointing but after reading these forums it's nothing I didn't expect. I was supposed to get box 2 last week and box 3 I'm supposed to get this week, but so far neither have showed up. I e-mailed graze and they comped my 4th box so that's nice, but I do feel maybe there's a better way. Maybe just put some more realistic info on the site and in addition to that maybe ship items early enough to get it there on time. I mean, if I'm late for work every day because of traffic, eventually I'll learn that I might need to shift things around a bit and leave a little early. Hopefully they'll figure it out!
Second Box
Marvellous Macaroon*
Bonnie Wee Oatbakes*
Summer Berry Compote*
Rock the Casbah
*I am really excited to try all these three! I am kinda disappointed I got two dippers in one box though. (Kinda like three things of banana in my first box.) But based on your reviews I think these two will be very different.
Third Box
Fruit and See Flapjack
The Herb Garden
Jaffa Cake
Hot Cross Yum
- All of these seem really awesome. A little nervous about the Herb Garden though because of the peanuts, but I think I might be most excited to be getting flapjacks and chocolate finally!
I think I am looking most forward to the Chocolate Orange Granola and Herby Bread Basket. Maybe box four will have these. Has anyone tried the Chocolate Orange Granola? Every time I see the pic of it my mouth waters. Can't wait to get it!
