Mama June's Southern Treats Review: Box 3

If you like southern cooking, Mama June's Southern Treats is the perfect subscription for you! It's a quarterly box that sends the best of southern cuisine.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


Mama June's Southern Treats features the best in southern hospitality from reality TV star June Shannon (Honey Boo Boo's mom). Every three months you'll get a box of June's favorite southern cooking!


The box features full-sized items, including snacks and ingredients with associated recipe cards. You'll also receive a fun kitchen item, like an apron, utensil, or other non-food item.


The box ships quarterly (once every three months) and costs $34.95 or $119 annually with free shipping to the U.S. The boxes do ship internationally as well with a $15 flat rate shipping fee.


This quarter's box had seven items, with three non-food treats. Here's what was inside:
  • Pork Clouds Fried Pork Rinds - These weren't on the info card, but they're Garlic Thyme flavored pork rinds. I've never had pork rinds before; I know what they are, just have never tried them.
  • Slap Ya Mama Cajun Seasoning - This seasoning adds a punch of flavor to anything you're cooking and is made in Louisiana.
  • Man Made Seafood Boil Soap - This soap is lemongrass scented and is strong enough to wash away strong smells from cooking crawfish, shrimp, etc.
  • Star Cookie Cutout - This also wasn't on the info card, but is a cute extra item.

  • Mama June's Hushpuppies Mix - This mix is made with Georgia-grown, organic, non-GMO white cornmeal and 100 percent soft red whole wheat flour. I've never made hushpuppies on my own before, so this mix will be a nice treat!
  • Sweet Cream Butter Grits Cookies - These cookies were so good! I love butter cookies and these had a great buttery flavor with Georgia grits mixed in. 
  •  Kiss the Cook Apron - This apron is nice and thick and has a colorful design on the front.
Bottom Line: The third box from Mama June's Southern Treats had more delicious surprises! I especially enjoyed the butter cookies and hushpuppies mix.

Mama June's Southern Treats Review: Box 2

Mama June's Southern Treats is a new quarterly subscription that's perfect for the Southern Belle in all of us! Each box is full of the best sweets and treats from the South.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


Mama June's Southern Treats ships quarterly (once every three months) and costs $34.95 or $119 annually with free shipping to the U.S. The boxes do ship internationally as well with a $15 flat rate shipping fee.

You'll receive down home goodies plus a fun non-food item or two in each box. The first box was Georgia themed, but this box appears to have a more general Southern theme.


The box contained six food items and two extra goodies. The box arrived in December so it had lots of cozy things for warming up during the winter months. I'm not sure how cold it gets down south, but up here in New York I definitely appreciate a nice warm mug of hot chocolate!

  • Southern Treats Hot Chocolate: This mix has a rich, smooth flavor and there's enough in the bag for a few cups of hot chocolate.
  • Mama June's Fudge Brownies: You can make a batch of Mama June's famous Fudgy Brownies with this mix, made of 100 percent soft red whole wheat flour, rich cocoa, sea salt, and baking powder. The flour is stone milled from wheat grown on a family farm in Middle Georgia.
  • It's Better With Bacon Dip Mix: It definitely is better with bacon! This dip is great for chips, bread, fresh sliced veggies, or anything else you want to have it with. It's easy to make with just one cup of sour cream and one cup of cream cheese.
  • Holiday Cookie Cutter: I think mine got a little warped, but I actually like the imperfect shape for cookies! It's made in the U.S.
  • Chenatlin Colshat Pecan Pralines Scented Soy Candle: I thought that this was a sweet dip at first, but I love it even more because it's a candle! It smells so good and even has little crumbly bits on top, so you can see why I'd mistake it for food. It's eco-friendly and made with 100 percent soy wax, natural cotton wicks, and coconut buttons.
  • Lane Southern Orchards Blueberry Pecan Preserve: This is made with locally-grown crushed blueberries and orchard-fresh Georgia pecans, capturing the best flavors of the south. The company was founded in 1908 and has been growing peaches, blueberries, and pecans for over 100 years.
  • Wondermade Marshmallows Sugar Cookie Marshmallows: These taste fantastic on their own or in a cup of coffee or hot chocolate. They're the perfect size for s'mores, too. I love the sugary flavor!

  •  Southern Treats Mug With Spoon: I love this mug! I think there were different color variations sent, since the info booklet has a blue one and I received a green (my favorite color). The little stirring spoon is such a cute and helpful detail, and I especially adore the "Bless Your Heart" inscription. I've kind of always loved the passive aggressive nature of that famous Southern statement!
This second box from Mama June's Southern Treats was wonderful! All of the food items were delicious and a lot of fun to try, and the non-food items were great as well. I especially love the mug and candle.
Bottom Line: This box is a great deal for $34.95 a quarter and a fun and easy way to experience the best of Southern cooking and lifestyle!

Mama June's Southern Treats Review - First Box!

I'm a northerner at heart, but if I know one thing about southerners, it's that they know how to cook! Mama June's Southern Treats is a new subscription box that just launched this month and it features delicious goodies from Mama June.

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! in exchange for an honest review.


Mama June's Southern Treats is from reality star June Shannon of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and From Not to Hot fame. The box ships quarterly for $34.95 or $119 annually with free shipping to the U.S. The boxes do ship internationally as well with a $15 flat rate shipping fee.


The first box is Georgia themed and has great snacks, ingredients, and a special extra item centered around delicious flavors from Mama June's home state.


The box contained seven snacks, one extra item, and three recipe cards.



Some of the snacks can be eaten on their own, but there are also three recipe cards included that you can use to make other items out of the ingredients. There's also a booklet with information about each item in the box.

  •  Vidalia Sweet Onion Petals - These are delicious! They're a light, crispy snack flavored with real Vidalia sweet onion puree.
  • Bacon's Heir Pork Panko - This breadcrumb replacement is fine and flaky for a crispy finish and pakcs more punch than regular, unseasoned panko.
  • Bacon's Heir Pork Clouds - These are a gourmet take on pork rinds: made with pork skins, olive oil, rock salt, and seasonings in a puffy cloud of crunch.
  •  Southern Treats Peach Crisp Mix - This is one of the ingredients that has a corresponding recipe card. It's June's favorite Southern Peach Crisp Mix made with whole grains and rolled oats.
  • Dillon Candy Pecan Praline Candy - These candies are a Georgia favorite and is made my Georgia-based Dillon Candy. They're loaded with pecans and are super creamy.
  • Southern Treats Peach Tea - This tea is perfect for sipping on the front porch on a hot day, or with a splash of bourbon for a grown-up treat!
  • Byrd's Cookie Company Georgia Peach Cookie - Another peach treat, these cookies are dusted with powdered sugar and have the perfect balance of tangy, ripe Georgia peaches and sweet cream.

The tea is loose-leaf and comes with steeping bags inside.

  •  Southern Treats Dish Towel - This special dish towel is an extra item branded with the Southern Treats logo. It can be used to keep your dishes clean or to line a tea tray with.
You can find more Southern-inspired recipes at the Mama June's Southern Treats blog, which you can read here!
Bottom Line: I really liked the first Mama June's Southern Treats box! It had a bunch of snacks and brands that were new to me, so it was fun being able to try southern staples that aren't readily available here in New York. I also think it's a great deal at only $34.95 per quarter.
