Batch Charleston Subscription Box Review – October 2014 Bracelet

Charleston Rice Beads Silver Bracelet by Candy Shop Vintage - Value $28

Normally this subscription is all food items, so this was a nice surprise - though it makes the box no long gender-neutral.

Batch Charleston Subscription Box Review – October 2014 Cheese

Slather Brand Slatherin' Sauce Spicy Recipe - Value $7

Mrs. Murrill's Cheese Straws - Value $12

We haven't tried this spicy sauce yet, but my husband loved the cheese straws!

Batch Charleston Subscription Box Review – October 2014 Hush Puppy

Palmetto Farms Hush Puppy Mix - Value $6

Yay - this mix is gluten free! I've never made anything deep fried before, but I love hush puppies, so I am going to give it a try. (If you have an alternative recipe idea that doesn't involve deep frying, let me know!)

Verdict: This is one of the highest value Batch boxes I've ever received - over $50 worth of products! I personally like the mix of food plus a non-food item like jewelry or a skincare item, etc., so I hope this trend continues if it means higher value boxes.

What do you think of the October Batch Charleston?

Loved it! I hope they continue giving us this type of box. My subscription runs out in December but if they continue like this I will probably renew.

This might sound a little weird, but if you have a waffle iron, you might want to try waffling the hush puppy mix. There are a few recipes around the internet for cooking things like hash browns, brownies, falafels, and churros in waffle irons, which I think is actually pretty smart because you get a good crust and a tender inside without the pain and mess (and greasiness!) of deep frying.

I also put those cinnamon buns from pilsbury in my waffle maker. They turn into buns that are crisp in the outside and soft in the middle. I was skeptical when a friend told me this, but it works out amazing!

What a great idea! I’ve never even considered that. Do you think it would work with a Belgian waffle iron? I’m sure it would be easier with a standard one since they’re flat. But I’m trying this anyway. Can you imagine waffle size hush puppies? Mouth watering….
