Each box comes with a detailed card that gives you a background on all the makers featured in the box.
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.
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!
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.
Oo that sounds like the perfect solution to me! Thank you! 🙂
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….
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!
