Amazon Prime Surprise Sweets Box #2 Review – January 2017

Just got my second box. I’m much more impressed than I was the first time around. One thing I’ve noticed: They’ve stopped printing individual “value” of each item in the box. Curious.

Just got my first Surprise Sweets box! I have to say I’m a little bit underwhelmed. If I’d gotten anything from your second box I would have been thrilled!!! Instead I got Three Tarts brand Raspberry Marshmallows (not my favorite), Albina City Nuts candied pecans (yum, but not what I was craving), a BT McElrath Salty Dog Bite and 1 ChocolatModerne White Chocolate (my least favorite chocolate) bar w/ Passionfruit and Cardamom. My box value was about $23, but I’m not sure I would have purchased any of these items on their own, so I will have to carefully decide if these are worth the blind buy.

Those Tarrapins look amazing! I loved how you cut them in half so we could see all the goodies inside. Keep up the good work!

Waiting for my button!

I’m surprised the value isn’t better considering it’s Amazon. I hit the button, but I’m not sure how often I’ll order this. it is so fun to hit the button though!

Amazon Prime is everything.

I don’t have a smartphone or tablet but I put myself on the waiting list for the button anyway. I am going to try to get it to work in an Android emulator on my laptop. I understand there needs to be sound for setup (the Dash button contains a tiny microphone for this purpose) but after that, it should be WiFi enabled.

My husband will get any coffee (ick) or marshmallow (non vegetarian) stuff and we can share the rest.

For those that have commented how they don’t like the boxes and won’t order — Amazon offers a pretty good return policy! From their FAQ:

Q) What if my item arrives damaged, or I just don’t like the sweets?
A) We want this to be an easy and fun way for you to indulge in new sweets, so we also want to make it easy to get a refund if you are not satisfied. Simply call our dedicated Customer Service team at 888-283-1915 so we can start processing your refund.

The value is just not there for me. If i don’t like one or two items it would be such a loss. Plus i have two subs with Love With food and one with Degusta.

Just a note about Prime. I’ve been a member for quite a while and I love it. It includes Amazon TV, which is worth the price alone. I don’t use it but all the music you care to listen to…..and free one or two day shipping on Prime products, which most are and has been a life saver. Amazon has their own shipping service so it’s not always fedex or ups.

Amazon Prime has a 70.00 Gift card for a new credit card approval today plus 5% cash back on purchases too.

For people trying to decide if Prime is worth it to them, there’s a new perk: if you have the Amazon Visa credit card (thru Chase back, no annual fee, super high credit score NOT required), you can now get 5% back on all your Amazon purchases. Go to your account > manage payment options, then expand Amazon Rewards Visa card and look at Rewards Status. If it’s still 3% (the old amount), there will be a link to follow where you just input your credit card number, and you’ll get upgraded.

I have no affiliation with Amazon or Chase or anyone else and this comment is not sponsored in any way, I’m just a very happy Amazon customer who loves sweets and beauty and subscription boxes and being able to shop online and MSA!

Is there a way for People who don’t have Amazon Prime to get this? I don’t have Prime, have no interest in getting Prime, nor see a future with me and Prime. But I love chocolate.

If I was gonna jump on the chocolate train i would jump on this one instead of the treats sub box. This is gonna put that sub out for sure… Either way the botton is exciting though.
Question… What if you kid or pet ended up pushing that button like 20 times for fun when you not looking? Lol

I love my Amazon Surprise Box…not sure how to post a picture but I received:

1) bequet caramel soft caramels (4 oz bag) These are amazing!!! ~ $8.50
2) french vanilla swoffle ~ $1.81
3) jcoco black fig dark chocolate pistachio bar (3 oz) ~ $6.50
4) gb stuffer cookie monstah peanut butter cup (this is HUGE! 5.5oz) ~$5.50
5) special extra dylan’s candy bar bite ~ $1.20

Total ~ $24

I want my button and all that lovely dark chocolate!

Is there an option for people with dark chocolate allergies? I like the idea of this box, but wouldn’t be able to eat 95% of what they’ve included so far….

I’m still waiting for my invitation. I requested it the day you posted about this box, so I don’t know how long the waitlist takes.

I’m really looking forward to getting this. This’ll be my first dash button too.

The Java sounds amazing, but not the walnuts or caramel. So I’m interested to see what I get, when I finally can get the button.

Yeah, I’ve had my button here for as long as you guys have, but I’m just not intrigued with all the dark chocolate and definitely not the java. Bleccch :p. Loathe coffee. No go on all the dark chocolate. This box does look a little better than the last but it’s still primarily dark chocolate and I’m not getting my finger on the trigger to press. How do they get sweets how of this? I’m tasting bitter not sweet 🙁 Sorry Amazon.

I think this is awesome idea…just in time to crash those New Year’s resolutions!

I’m passing for now. My husband can give forgive me all my subs, but he would flip over a button that brings me sweets on demand!

I’ll enjoy drooling over these reviews tho 😉

Everything in this box is drool-worthy. I am waiting patiently for my invitation.
