Nibblr Snack Box Review

Do you enjoy snacking?  I know I do.  Snacking is like my guilty pleasure.  We all know that now days many snacks on the market are not good for us.  They contain all type of horrible ingredients, but tastes so good.  I have tried to eat healthier snacks in the past, but I did not like them.  To be honest, they were lacking flavor and flat out disgusting.  Today I will be reviewing the Nibblr snack box and giving you my honest opinion about it.  I know you all are reading this wondering what exactly is Nibblr.   The Nibblr is a subscription snack box that includes four prepackaged snacks.  Each snack comes sealed in its own portable container that you can take with you on the go.   You can choose to get a box weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.  You have an option to order a single box for just $6.99 or choose to pay for multiple boxes at a time.  Now he’s the good part, shipping is free and you may cancel at any time.  Sounds great right?

 

Now let’s get to the review.  When I first heard about the Nibblr box, I thought it would be like many healthier snacks that I’ve tried in the past.  I was also a little skeptical about receiving snacks through the mail because I didn’t think they would be fresh or tasty.  However, to my surprise, the box that I received exceeded my expectations.  I received my first box in the mail about a week ago and fell in love.  The box was properly sealed, snacks were fresh, and the presentation was excellent.   The only thing I didn’t like about the box is not having the option to select the snacks that I wanted.  They select the snacks for you and give you an option to rate each snack.  All snacks are rated ‘INTERESTED’ when you start your subscription.   Depending on your taste, you can change them to ‘LOVE IT’, ‘LIKE IT’, or ‘NO THANKS.’  The snacks that you rate as ‘LOVE IT’ will be sent most frequently, and they will not send those rated as ‘NO THANKS.  This could be a good thing for those who like surprises. 

  
My box included:  Fallen Snowman, Nice & Naughty, Fa-La-La Licious, and Caramel Joy.
  





FALLEN SNOWMAN:  Peppermint coated pretzel pearls and dark chocolate peppermint snack mix.

 
What a refreshing snack!  If you love peppermint and chocolate, then this snack is for you! The peppermint pretzel pearls were delightful and provided a crunch in every bite. There was just the right amount of peppermint on each pearl and you could you just pop them in your mouth.  I love the smoothness of the dark chocolate and it was rich in taste.  Normally, I am not a fan of dark chocolate because of the bitterness, but it was awesome.  However, I do wish that there were more dark chocolate pieces in the container.  I would definitely eat this snack again.





NICE & NAUGHTY:  Sea salt caramel truffles and hazelnuts snack mix.

 
Now this was my favorite snack of them all.  I was skeptical about this combination at first; as I didn't know how well mixing these two would be.  Turns out, I really really enjoy it.  It had the right amount of sweetness to satisfy your sweet tooth.  This was my first time trying hazelnuts and I discovered that I love them.  This snack truly fits its description of being a "feel good sweet".  Hopefully they will include this snack in my future boxes.





FA-LA-LA-LICIOUS:  cranberries, almonds, and pistachios snack mix.

 
Sweet and salty all in one.  I would consider this snack for those that enjoy fruit and nut combinations.  I would have liked to see the cranberries, almonds, and pistachios equally divided in this mix.  There was about three pistachios, eight almonds, and tons of cranberries.  The cranberries were very sweet and was a little overpowering.  I'm not a huge fan of almonds, but these were okay.  They were actually much better than other brands I've previously tasted.  On the other hand, the pistachios were lightly salted and yummy.  I really wished it contained more because those are my favorite.  I'm not saying that I totally hated this snack, but it was my least favorite.  Would I like to receive this one again?  Maybe, it all depends on what my taste buds will want.





CARAMEL JOY:  caramels

 
Chewy, sweet, and dense are the words to describe this candy.  I have been eating caramel candy since my younger days, but I have never tasted caramel this superb.  These were melt in your mouth wonderful. They were very smooth in texture and rich in taste.  I would consider this more of a dessert than a snack because of the sweetness.  Also, the candy wasn't as thick as other brands of caramel candy.  Umm, umm good!



All in All,  my first Nibblr snack box was awesome.  I could tell that the box was packaged with love and care.  This box really change the way I view other snacks that are on the market.  Even though there are a couple things that I would like to see done better; I was still satisfied.  The snacks were yummy and convenient.  I am so happy that I found this company and will be purchasing more snack boxes from them.  If you would like to get your first box for free, you are more than welcome to use my referral code 18899.



**Additional information:  When ordering your first free box (with a valid referral code), you will need to place a credit card on file.  You will not be charged for the first box, but you will see a pending charge in your account that will disappear once your box is shipped.  They do this to make sure your card is active and to avoid extended interruption of your service if you like it.  You can pause or cancel your subscription at any time.
