April Orange Glad Review

Orange Glad always has awesome boxes and I thoroughly enjoyed my three-month gift subscription that I received from my friend Linze (read all of those reviews here), so when I heard that they were looking for bloggers to review their April box I immediately threw my name into the ring!

*Disclaimer: This box was sent to See, Shop, Love! for review purposes.

Orange Glad is a snack subscription box that sends bakery sweets to your door. Prices are as follows:

• $21.95/month ($17 + $4.95 shipping) for a month-to-month subscription
• $20.95/month ($16 + $4.95 shipping) for a three-month subscription, $62.85 total
• $19.95/month ($15 + $4.95 shipping) for a six-month subscription, $119.70 total

You can also choose the Double Treats Box, view the price breakdown for those boxes here. The standard box will have five carefully selected gourmet treats and the Double Treats Box will, well, have double that! Currently they only ship to U.S. addresses.

This is a review of the standard box. I noticed that Orange Glad has changed their packaging since I last subscribed, including a separate box inside of a box to better protect the more delicate treats.

Here's what was packed inside of the smaller white box. I like that they're doing this now because no one wants to get broken cookies in their boxes!

• Toffee Talk Almond Toffee ($6 for 2 oz) - Toffee Talk is made in San Francisco, and this variety has "the perfect ratio of almonds to toffee and just the right amount of semi-sweet chocolate." I haven't tried this yet because I don't love almonds, but I do love toffee so I'll eventually give it a go.
• Fairytale Brownies in Original ($3.08 for one, $37 for a dozen) - $37 for a dozen brownies?! This had better be one amazing brownie. I haven't tried it yet but now I'm all the more intrigued to see how it tastes. It's made in Phoenix with dark Callebaut Belgian chocolate and "a dash of magic."
• Zesty Cookie Company Hot Cocoa Cookies ($2.10 for three cookies) - These are made with cayenne pepper and tasted like a delicious Mexican hot chocolate! I loved them. They were a little crunchier than I was expecting--they weren't hard, but they weren't entirely soft either--but I ended up loving the flavor so much that I didn't mind the texture (I was expecting them to be softer). These are made in Boxford, Massachusetts.
• A Couple of Squares Simply Good Chocolate Chip Biscuits ($1.22 for two cookies) - I ate these with my coffee this morning and they were so good! They were nice and light and buttery and were probably my favorite snack in the box so far. They're made in London, Ontario, Canada.

• QUIN Candy Dreams Come Chew ($2.75 for five pieces) - These candies are made in Portland, Oregon and come in four flavors: cherry, strawberry, tangerine, and lemon. I've tried a strawberry one so far and I love them! They're very chewy, so I wouldn't recommend these for people who don't like getting things stuck in their teeth. The flavor is amazing, though!

Bottom Line: April's Orange Glad box didn't disappoint! I'm always happy to get some good snacks to satisfy my sweet tooth and I liked the variety they included here. The total approximate retail value adds up to $15.15, so it's much less than the price of the box (or just about even, depending on what payment plan you choose). However, I still think it's a fun subscription because they send treats from companies that aren't easily accessible from where I live.

February Orange Glad Review

Well, this review is pretty late, but I wanted to post it anyway for continuity's sake (March's box will be reviewed shortly as well).  The Orange Glad Sweet Box is a gourmet dessert box that, for $15 a month, will deliver a variety of sweet treats to your door.

I was gifted a three-month subscription to Orange Glad, and February's box was my second.  I expected a lot of Valentine's Day themed treats, and they certainly didn't disappoint.

February's box contained a total of five snacks, and I felt that they had a pretty good variety of types of treats to try.

• A Couple of Squares Valentine Sugar Cookie - Sugar cookies are always a win for me, so I was happy to receive one in this box.  The frosting was a bit crunchier than I prefer, but still delicious nonetheless.
• Chocomize Belgian Milk Chocolate On a Spoon - I've seen a bunch of "on a stick/on a spoon" products around but hadn't tried any prior to this box.  I actually still haven't tried this hot chocolate, which you stick in a mug of milk and microwave so that it melts, but that's mostly because I just (shockingly) haven't had a craving for it.  I have a feeling that it's going to be very rich, so I want to drink it during a time when I know I'll really want it and finish it all.
• Desserts on Us Almond & Dark Chocolate Cookie - You can't see this cookie in the photo above, but it's behind the heart-shaped chocolate.  It was really crunchy and amazing and I thoroughly enjoyed it!  It was kind of wafer-like in texture, but covered in caramel and chocolate.
• Bissinger's Handcrafted Chocolatier Chocolate Heart Lollipop - I appreciated the simplicity of this milk chocolate lollipop -- who doesn't love milk chocolate?  It tasted great and was fun to eat.
• Renaissance Kosher Foods Coconut Macaroon - I don't like coconut so I passed these off to a friend who said that they were delicious!

Here's a photo of the Desserts on Us cookie, along with the A Couple of Squares Valentine heart.

Bottom Line: February's Orange Glad Sweet Box was another great box for me.  I like that even though it's all desserts, they do a good job of sending a variety of different products.  To learn more about the box and sign up for a subscription, check out the Orange Glad website.

January Orange Glad Review

My amazing friend Linze (the one who bought me the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette for Christmas!) surprised me with a gift subscription to Orange Glad, too!  My birthday is three days after Christmas, so the palette was for one and the Orange Glad boxes were for another.  Basically, she's awesome, and I can't wait to surprise her with some great stuff for her birthday in March.

Orange Glad is a food subscription service that costs $15 per month plus shipping and handling.  They send a mixture of amazing sweet treats, so this is the perfect box for me!  It was actually on my list of subscriptions to try, so I was super excited when Linze told me she bought three months for me.

January's box contained five different products, all of which were ah-may-zing!  I absolutely loved every single one of them.  There aren't may treats that I won't enjoy, but some of my favorites are caramel, coffee, and cinnamon flavored, all of which were in this box.

• Just Desserts Sour Cream Coffee Cake - This was the first snack I tried, and I took them to work to split with Linze.  I can't even describe how absolutely perfect they were, but I'll try: the top was crunchy and crumbly, and the cake itself was so soft and moist.  The all-around flavor was just fantastic, I want to buy more of these for sure!
• Clairesquares Buttery Shortbread Square - Along with the coffee cakes, this cookie was my favorite item in the box.  It looks plain, but it was so damn good!  The flavor was perfectly buttery and sweet and I just loved it.

• Uppercrust Mini Rolls - These little cinnamon rolls were so cute!  Orange Glad recommended heating them up in the microwave for 10-15 seconds, which was a good call.  I shared these with my family and they were enjoyed by everyone.

• Sweet Lydia's Caramel S'More - I loved the packaging for this and I was really excited to try it because I love caramel.  I sadly will report that it was just okay, but by no means was it disappointing.  I guess I was hoping for a caramel that was nice and gooey, but it was less noticeable than I would have preferred.  That being said, s'mores are also not my favorite dessert, so that's probably why I didn't enjoy this as much as someone else might.
• Divine Chocolate Milk Chocolate Bar - Divine was the only brand in the box that I was familiar with from prior experiences, and I was so glad to see the milk chocolate bar included because they make delicious chocolate!  It's fair-trade certified, too, so that's definitely a plus.

Bottom Line: I loved my first Orange Glad box and I can't wait to see what the February and March boxes will include!  I 100% recommend this box to anyone who loves sweet treats as much as I do.
