Love with Food February Review

I received my 2nd Love with Food box yesterday and after sampling all the contents with my man, here is my review!


*Love with Food:
Type: Food Box
Cost: $10/month includes shipping
What is it?: Get a box filled with gourmet samples each month. Taste the deliciousness and then buy your favorites at their store for large discounts. One of the best things about Love with Food is that they donate a meal to a hungry child for every box bought- 50,220 meals donated thus-far. Use my referral code which gives me money that I can (and will) use to donate to their charity. Use promo code FUNNYFACECRAN to get your first box free (just $2 for shipping)! 


First Look!

Packed!
Gotta first show the info card. It's just a thing ya gotta do.

Loads of stuff in this box- the print on this card is tiny! The theme is sweet for V-day with a touch of spice.



Hagensborg Chocolates' Truffle Pigs in Milk Chocolate Caramel & Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter.

These little buggers were delicious! All Natural European Chocolate deliciousness and shaped like little piggies. I especially loved the Caramel one. Mmm. All their varieties look fantastic! Price: $1.90
*Sidenote: all prices are based on original prices not discounted Love with Food prices.


Funny Face's Naturally Flavored Cranberries in Freckle Face Strawberry

At first, I thought, uh, weird. I mean strawberry-flavored cranberries? But I was impressed with these dried cranberries. Why? Because I am not a fan of tart cranberries and even though I think it is weird to flavor dried cranberries, these have a nice taste. Low in sugar, only 60 cals, and naturally fat free. Price: ~$1.50


Beanfield's Bean & Rice Chips in Pico de Gallo

Long grain rice, pinto and navy beans create this gluten-free chip. Completely vegan and all-natural plus with 1/3 less fat than tortilla chips make this a healthy option. My last Love with Food box had plantain chips which did NOT taste like bananas and these bean chips did NOT taste like beans (thank goodness)! These weren't as crunchy as a regular tortilla chip but I still approve. Price: ~$2.99


bobbysue's nuts' Original Nuts

This mix of pecans, almonds, and cashews are salty-sweet in a blend of spices. Yum! Who doesn't love a roasted almond that is sugary-sweet? The cashews and pecans were especially good. Yummers.
Price: ~$4.50


Nektar Naturals's Nektar Honey Crystals

Uh what?! Honey Crystals? I hadn't heard of these before although my bf had had them in his travels. These granulated honey packets are perfect for coffee and tea. I haven't tried them yet but will probably just eat them straight out the packet. My bf has used the other one in his coffee to avoid the sticky mess. 
Price: $0.40


Donsuemor's Chocolate Madeleine

This was a nice little moist cookie treat. It wasn't too chocolatey- perfect for a light Madeleine. My bf particularly loved this one. Price: $1.20


Jer's Squares in Toffee Break

I LOVED this bite. Soo good. This was definitely our favorite thing in our box. This is premium chocolate with all-natural Valencia peanut butter. This type had rich, buttery toffee bits inside too and is dark chocolate. This is a dark chocolate I can get along with. Price: $0.80


Millie's Savory Teas' Tomato Basil Sipping Broth

This is a first-of-its-kind sipping broth with savory heard and spices infused into tea. This green tea infused sipping broth is essentially a tea and soup all in one. I hope I don't get sick again anytime soon but how perfect would this be for a sore throat?? All natural & vegan, this little bugger is going on my shelf until I can get the best use out of it. Price: $1.33

Verdict: The value of this box is around $14.62 which compared to the $10 it is worth normally and the $5 I paid for it, I think it pays for itself. I am on a 3-month groupon deal that I got for $15 which becomes $5/box. This is my second box and the better of the two I have gotten. People all the time say they want to get more stuff but I have to say I am happy with the 9 different items I got. That being said there WAS more stuff in this box than in my last one so maybe they upped their game for V-day? Anyway, I really liked a couple of the items and I think of this as a fun sampling box to enjoy new foods which is exactly what I got.
