Let’s see what’s in the October 2015 Monthly Munchy Box!

Everything was shipped in a large white box with a blue Monthly Munchy stamp on top.

A peek inside. I was surprised to see such a long hand-written thank you note on top. They clearly care about their business and want their customers to be happy. Oh — I should probably note that this box was sent for FREE as a promotion they had going on a couple weeks ago. (Free shipping too!) Anyone was eligible — not just reviewers. In fact, they didn’t even know I was a reviewer. 🙂

The treats!

The tri-fold info sheet/pamphlet included a list of some — but not all — of the items included. There were also fun October-themed facts and even a couple of kitchen-themed jokes. Cute!

Kettle Heroes Pumpkin Pie Kettle Corn – Heck yes! This popcorn sounds amazing and I was super relieved to see that it’s vegan-friendly (and gluten-free too!). It’s made with all natural ingredients including non-GMO popcorn, cane sugar, pumpkin, and spices. The perfect treat for autumn!

Poore Brothers Kettle Cooked Potato Crisps – I love kettle chips so I was happy to see these guys in the box. Two flavors were included — Salt & Vinegar and Original. These are made in Arizona, which is also where Monthly Munchy is based out of.

Dave’s Apple Muffin – This wasn’t listed on the info card, so I don’t know much about it… I do know that it’s a muffin… and it’s apple flavored… and made by a guy named Dave? 😉 It looks pretty moist and the package says it’s delicious, so… I’ll take its word.

Cajun Apple Cupcake-in-a-Jar – Clearly this is the signature, homemade item for October. The info card describes it as a “delicious apple cupcake in a jar with cinnamon cream cheese icing”. Unfortunately, this probably wasn’t the best item to include in a subscription box. After the long trek from Arizona to New York, the “cupcake” is now basically a pile (jar) of mush. The jar itself is pretty and festive, but… yeah. It might have been a better idea to send a jar with dry ingredients to make your own cupcake? I dunno. :/

Udder Delights Coconut Pecan Macaroons – These macaroons look super tasty and I’m bummed that they’re not vegan-friendly. Though with a name like “Udder Delights”, I really can’t fault them for including milk. 😉

Sugar Bowl Bakery Madeleine – Another sweet treat that wasn’t listed on the info card. A traditional French madeleine made in California.

I had no idea what to expect from Monthly Munchy — especially since they were sending it to so many people for FREE — but I’m happy with what I received. Obviously, they still have to iron some things out re: the homemade items faring well in transport, but overall it was a nice first box. I think with a bit of tweaking, it can be a great box for fans of sweets and other munchies.

Remember — for a limited time you can get your first box for 50% off when you click here, hit the “subscribe now” button”, and then click “get my box” at the top of the page. Happy munching!
