It’s been a long two weeks since the graze company graced my
mail box with its tasty treats in their individual wrapped and measured
portions, so imagine my joy when it was waiting for me on Monday morning. This week had a warm kind of feel to the
pallet and I was delighted by the wonderful flavors of most of the selections,
but with all boxes there were hits and misses, and this box had a major miss.
First the great! The
chocolate orange flapjacks, I’m such a fan of the flapjack line that these
never disappoint. There is something
about the soft, crumbly, and moist texture of these delicious bars that just
makes me happy. The way they punched up
the orange flavor really spoke to my insane love of citrus, but what really
worked for me was the warm and comforting way the dark chocolate ribbons danced
back and forth creating a truly sweet and yet slightly bitter explosion. Please send more!
The next treat was the toffee apples, now with 70 cals I was
super excited to dig right in. By now I’ve
learned not look forward to the possibility of a crunchy texture and this was
no exception. I think that they fear
that drying out the apples all the way might do something to the sugar intake
or something. The chewy fruit is growing
on me though, but not nearly as much as the toffee dip. This dip was sweet but so luscious and melted
so easily on the tongue that it was a little cube of heaven.
As for the black pepper pistachios, well I appreciate the
pistachios. As for the black pepper
taste, I flat out couldn’t find it at all.
The only difference was a slightly warming bite at the very end of the cube
of pistachios. Call this one a take it
or leave it.
Now we get to the miss, the “Bonnie wee oat bakes.” These were tiny, hard, little oat triangles
that were fundamentally tasteless and so dry that they sucked the moisture
right out of my mouth with the first nibble.
As for the caramelized onion marmalade, I could not get past the sweet
and yet pungent stink that assaulted my nose.
No thank you! Just No!
