Our Review
A lot of thought has been put into the presentation of this box. All the jars and even the box itself are sturdy, stylish and reusable, solving a common problem with subscription boxes: continuous waste.
One thing that struck me as strange was that there was no nutritional information included, no promotional flyers not even a card about the company. Perhaps this was also in an effort to reduce waste, but it would have been nice to see some ingredients and not having them is very unusual for any food items. One of the jars didn’t even have the name of the contents on it! It just said “It’s Hot in Here”, presumably in reference to the spicy flavor or aroma within.
I really do appreciate the minimalism that SugarlyBox is exercising here, even if they do take it to slightly disconcerting levels (I couldn’t even find the nutritional info on their website!).
Milk Chocolate Raisins
These are huge! A firm, long standing favorite of mine, they’re simple and satisfying and always good especially when they are this massive!. There’s a lot crammed into the jar with hardly any space left at the top so I feel like SugarlyBox is making an effort to provide good value.
Gummy Apple Rings
These look and smell wonderful, with that distinct candy apple aroma I imagine a green neon sign would have if I had synesthesia. However, they don’t taste as strong and sour as the Applejacks from my childhood. They do have a good texture though, not too chewy, but I think I’ll be sharing these with my coworkers.
It’s Hot in Here (Cinnamon Jelly beans)
I think these are cinnamon jelly beans if my taste buds are accurate. They’re about three times the size of regular Jelly Belly branded jelly beans, but the flavor is not diluted! They have real kick to them and create a genuine tingling spiciness on your tongue! They also have a slight wasabi effect if you breathe out of your nose at the wrong time! Very impressive taste and like before the jar is jam packed.
Verdict: My sweet tooth really likes SugarlyBox! The three jars give a nice range of flavors without feeling over indulgent, and the quality of the candies and the presentation is excellent. It would be nice to be able to verify that the ingredients are actually of good quality but I suppose densely packed jars of sweets are not really intended for people who are concerned about nutritional value. I would still appreciate knowing there was nothing toxic in there though.
This would also be a great box for building up a collection of candy. While the chocolate raisins will probably all be gone by tomorrow the jelly beans and the gummy apple rings will almost certainly last a while, only being sampled every now and then. I grew up in a town that had a candy store famous for its rows of jars full of sweets and Sugarly lets me recreate that in a more compact form at home. So it definitely earns points for nostalgia even if the apple flavor isn’t as potent as it was back then.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? Candies appear to be sent at random, so you'll likely get a different mix if you subscribe now.
Value Breakdown: At $17.49 for this box on the month-to-month plan, you're paying about $25.44 per pound of candy.
