Byrd’s Chocolate Cheesecake Cookies - Value $3?

I was really dismayed to find these exact same cookies in my box that I didn’t care for and were featured only two months ago in August BoCandy. This is also three months in a row of Byrd’s cookies; I really wish with so many amazing companies out there BoCandy would branch out more. They were dry, crumbly chocolate cookies with a white “cream cheese powder” sprinkled on top. Nothing about these cookies is reminiscent of cheesecake to me.

Ola Pola (1.4 oz.) - Value $0.89

Delicious! These crisp wafers were filled with layers of chocolate cream and the entire bar was dipped in dark chocolate. This Polish cookie tasted great and was so fresh.

bocandy-october-2016-spicy-candy

Karla Tajitos with Chili - Total Value $0.28 ($0.14 each)

These lollipops are watermelon flavored and then they are covered in hot chili powder. It just isn’t a flavor combination I can get behind.

Lucas Salsagheti Mango - Value $0.50

These gummy strands are the consistency of a Twizzler pull and peel. Firm and chewy, they’re covered in a spicy powder that made them quite off-putting to me. They also come with a packet of hot cause if you want to dip the candy in that and make it even hotter.

Swedish Peppermint Candy Stick - Value $1.99

This large and beautiful peppermint stick is a sweet and slightly softer version of a candy cane. It’s quite thick and would certainly last for a few days. I love the red and white paper wrapper.

bocandy-october-2016-marzipan

Anthon Berg Marzipan Bar - $3.75

Wow, this was a huge candy bar! It contained a soft marzipan center enrobed in shiny dark chocolate. Marzipan is an almond paste made with sugar and this bar hails from Denmark.

Verdict: This month’s box was my least favorite to date. While I was happy to see that as the cooler weather has arrived the box contained more chocolate, the spicy candies and repetitive Byrd’s cookies made this box a flop for me. The value was quite low too at only slightly more than $10.
