This month the state is Michigan! Discover Our America included a guide book of sorts for the Great Lake State, and included items that are all made in Michigan.
Detroit Popcorn Company - Caramel Corn - $1.69
This caramel corn is really good. It's made 'the old fashioned way,' but I don't think I would know the difference since I'm not a connoisseur - I just know it tastes great. I love that Discover Our America found a few items from Detroit!
Martha's Fudge Sea Salt Taffy - $2.80
This is really good taffy. For some reason, I've been getting a lot of taffy in boxes lately! I used to eat taffy a lot as a kid, but it isn't something I buy as an adult, so it's nice to get it every now and again! This taffy is chewy, and super flavorful - perfect.
Faygo Rock and Rye Soda - $0.50
This is like a blast from the past. I spent a summer in Edmonton with some friends when I was 16, and they had red cream soda - I never really found anything similar to it when I got home, but I always remembered it! This is exactly like it! It tastes a bit like cherry bubblegum and cream soda. I wouldn't drink it every day, but it's a nice treat every now and again!
Detroit Bold Woodward Ave. Coffee - $6.99
This was quite good! I made this cold brew style - the cheater way, in my french press. I've been drinking it in the mornings with some almond milk and simple syrup and it's really good! This is a lighter roast coffee, which I enjoy!
Cherry Republic Wild Cherry Tea - $4.31
This tea was delicious! It is a black tea with cherry infusion and it was great with a bit of cream and sugar. I always add cream to my black tea - it's just better! This tea comes in a small container that seals that is perfect for traveling - I'm definitely going to reuse the container when I've used all the tea.
Sanders Sea Salt Caramel Bar - $0.70
I've received these before in subscription boxes, and I always love them. They're absolutely delicious. Sea salt caramel with chocolate is my absolute favorite, so of course, I loved this.
Zingerman's What the Fudge? Bar - $6.00
This candy bar has a layer of milk chocolate fudge, muscovado caramel, and malted milk cream fondant. To be absolutely honest, it was a bit too sweet for me, but I can tell it is made from high quality ingredients. I think most milk chocolate fans would love this one!
Verdict: I won't beat around the bush here: the value of this box is $22.99, which is well below the cost of the box. I love the idea of this box, and I think they are off to a good start with the items curated for this month. I hope they are able to raise the value in the coming months, since that is an important piece of getting new subscribers and the success of the box!
I think this box would be a lot of fun to get every month and learn about one of the 50 states with school aged children! Each month you'll get a new state to learn about, with treats to sweeten the deal.
