We have hit a year of Snackly! And I have to apologise in advance for my quick iPhone snap, but when you are faced with Honeyrose choc chip cookies, you just have to eat them straight away... If you have no will power that is!
When you fist open the box you will see a small thank you card for supporting their first year, but I'm sure you'll all agree we are just as thankful for them posting new treats through the door each month, opening us to new brands and small sized snacks, perfect for the single gluten free whose surrounded by gluten eaters!
So without further ado, lets see what's in this months box!!
Honeyrose Organic Triple Chocolate Cookies
I guess I will have to mention this one first as it is clearly my favourite in the box as I had no will power and ate it... Straight after I felt terrible though as I then remembered last time I had this I forgot to review it and told myself I must take a nice picture next time I got one. Which clearly didn't happen! Sorry Honeyrose! But this biscuit has a softer texture as there is large rich chocolate chunks which mixes so well with the crisper biscuit mix. If you see these anywhere I would 100% recommend them!
The Protein Ball co. - Protein Ball
I got a pack of these in October's box, I have been saving these as I am the secretary to a local Am Dram group and our panto is this week, so with organising tickets, raffle prizes and all the masses of paperwork, I thought these would be great for the three days we do the performances as I tend to be rushed off my feet and don't get chance to eat much, I have two bags now, so that's even better, so we will see what they are like!
The Melting pot - Salted Caramel Fudge
I was hoping the Melting Pot would make an appearance soon! Rich, smooth fudge is one of my favourite treats, I believe we had the chocolate flavour and the plain one before, so salted caramel sounds perfect to me! I have a craft fair on Sunday... I know I'm crazy, four panto performances in three days, followed by a craft fair! Bu I think when I get home on Sunday, I will pop on a Christmas film, decorate the tree and sit down with a hot choccy and this fudge... Heaven!
The Foods of Athenry - Multiseed Gourmet Crackers
Around 6 months ago these crackers made an appearance, I really enjoyed them then. You can see my review here! I am glad they are back in the Snackly box, and as it is wintery, I have half a pot of tomato soup in my fridge, I think I will grab some butter and have this for lunch tomorrow!
Snact - Apple and Mango Fruit Jerky
Something new from Snackly, I imagine these to be a bit like those fruit bowl fruit flakes, only bigger and maybe not coated in sugar! If so I will love these! Under 65 calories a bag, these are the perfect on the go fruit snack, because lets face it a sticky apple or orange isn't always convenient to eat on the go, particularly for someone like me who sells jewellery and fabric hairbows at craft fairs, sticky fingers and my handmade products don't mix well!
We also got another Teapigs sample, this month I got the chocolate and mint, which is my all time favourite flavour of theirs, so I am over the moon! I like the sample of tea that's been included, particularly over the winter months, as I am a very seasonal eater!
I hope you enjoyed your last snakily box of the year! Let's see what Snackly has in store for the next year!

My snackly box dropped through the letter box today! I look forward to this all month particularly as I get paid on the 20th so it is very much like a pre payday treat for me!
I know I say it every month but this box has surpassed last month and there is not one thing in the box I don't think I am going to love. I must say it's cookies galore this month!
So as you're all dying to know, what is in my box?
This month I received:
Nim's - Pineapple and Mango Fruit Crisps -RRP £1.35
From many previous posts you see dried fruits are something I tend to buy quite a bit of. I am a snacker so more nutritious snacks are always on hand. These crisps are air dried and not fried, they are also only 74 calories for a whole bag and one of your five a day. Nim's are certified by the vegan society and are also partners with change 4 life. A pack retails for £1.35 which I think is on the more expensive side of dried fruit so I am hoping these are fantastic!
Easy Bean - Chickpea Crispbread - Seeds and Black Pepper - RRP £3.29 per full box
Claiming to be naturally gluten and wheat free, these crispbreads are handmade with chickpea flour and buttermilk. They are also high in fibre and suitable for vegetarians. These two crispbreads contain around 135 calories, with a whole packet retailing at around £3.29 at H&B but prices can be found as low as £2.99 online, however there will be delivery costs.
The branding of this product is very interesting as the packaging is made from sustainable sources and is recyclable and to me feels the quintessential healthy living/ economically responsible branding. This really appeals to me as I am big on recycling, up cycling and healthy eating so I could be seen as a bit of a traditionalist with make do and mend attitude, or as my younger sister says 'you're such a granny' hey ho... you can't please everyone!
Ananda's Gelatine Free Marshmallow Grab Bag - Toasted Coconut - RRP £1.99
This grab bag is not just fantastic for me but also my veggie sister as they are vegan society approved. I will definitely get her to try some as I think a selection of these would be great in an easter basket or any gift hamper in general! It is a very squishy texture so I am hoping they will be lovely and fluffy and with desiccated coconut over the top, which I love on things like fruit salads and porridge. I think these will become quite addictive but again I think for the price they are much more of a luxury treat item!
Melting Pot - Handmade chocolate Fudge - RRP £1.90
This product is going to be well hidden from both my boyfriend and my brother otherwise I won't get a look in! This handmade chocolate fudge won a great taste gold award in 2010 so I am expecting this to be amazing! The ingredients are very basic and easy to read with no preservatives which we all know is a thing for me as I like to know what I am putting into my body. I think this will be a great treat on saturday night as it will be the last day of working 13 days solid, so I think I deserve some sweet treats, popcorn and a film after a long day, and this fudge will fit in perfectly!
Kent & Fraser - Spicy Ginger Cookies - RRP £0.60
This is the first thing I have received from Snackly that I have actually seen before, however I have never tried this flavour. A local coffee shop charges me a whopping £1.20 for these but can be brought in bulk online which averages the cost to 60p each! I have always loved the ginger biscuits I find in my local farm shop which are dipped in dark chocolate so I am hoping that these live up to them! This pack contains 166 calories so is a fantastic snack pack and can be used as a quick throw in my handbag and run!
Honeyrose Organic Handbaking - Mini Triple Chocolate Cookie Gluten Free - RRP 52p each
We received two of these cookies in this months box, and I'm not going to lie, I have already eaten one! These individually wrapped cookies are something I love because I do get paranoid about food going off before I finish it! There was huge chunks of chocolate in the one I tried which bonded the soft crumbly cookie, the flavour is fantastic and I would really recommend them! What also has impressed me with this brand is that they have biodegradable packaging and 5% of profits go to charity.
Once again Snackly have left me very happy indeed and well worth the money! I am hoping to do some mini reviews of these products in the coming days so stay tuned!
