Treatsie Review and 50% Off!

Published on by neverbeensoLeave a comment

Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE my sweets. Could literally live off sugar. I also really love subscription boxes (continue reading for a 50% off coupon!!). Receiving packages in the mail is my favorite, so I always find it hard to say no to getting pretty little boxes dropped off at my door step on a monthly basis.

Treatsie combines both of these loves into one little package and I have to say I’m really digging it. I tried it out for the first time this month (you can purchase various plans – monthly, quarterly, annually – you know how subscription boxes work).

Treatsie Review and 50% Off

Now let’s get into the goodies. Conveniently, I received my June Box on a 98 degree day with a heat advisory, so naturally I thought, everything would be melted. NOPE. Treatsie surrounds the box with ice gel packs and just incase that isn’t enough, they have a melt-free guarantee. If a product arrives melted, you contact them and they’ll replace it! #neverbeenso impressed.

June’s box came loaded with the following four products:

1. Lemon Cooler Cookies by Love, Cookie
Lemon Cooler Cookies by Love, Cookie

You don’t get 1 or 2 cookies, you get a whole sleeve! And these cookies had just the right amount of lemon! Super refreshing on this HOT day!

2. The Original Brownie by Salt of the Earth Bakery
The Original Brownie

Oh.my.god. That’s literally all I kept thinking in my head after every bite. This brownie incorporates a trio of chocolate with a dash of Halen Mon sea salt. So soft and chewy. I still can’t stop thinking about this brownie. I’ll have an entire box of these, please.

3. Black Lava Sea Salt Caramels by McCrea’s Candies

These little babies are dangerous. I could just pop them in my mouth all day! Again, the pairing of chocolate and sea salt takes away all self-control.

4. Maple Almond Brittle by Sweet on Vermont
Maple Almond Brittle

I have to say I’ve never been a fan of brittle. But this stuff is pretty amazing. The rich maple syrup flavor paired with the crushed almond is a match made in heaven!

Overall, I have to give Treatsie five stars! There wasn’t one item I didn’t like, the portions were good size (except that they had me wanting more more), and the packaging was on point. Have I convinced you to try Treatsie?! Well you’re in luck! If you use code “NEVERBEENSO50” on Treatsie.com you’ll get 50% off your first order! (That’s only $9.98 for 1 month, $28.43 for 3 months and $101.50 for the whole year)! 

What are you waiting for?!
