Enjoy Life Marshmallow Crunch Brownie Bites

My overall take on these: they just aren't that good. Nut free, soy free, sunflower free, lentil free, all good qualities, but the egg/milk/wheat-freeness really hurts these I think (sorry fam). Texturewise, the random crisped rice in there is very weird, and the taste is vaguely minty more than marshmallowy. They are chocolatey too, it's true, and crumbly. Not BAD, but very strange. No actual marshmallows in there either, just crispies and choco chips. I think the mint flavor is better because at least it tastes like what it says it is?

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10

Land O Lakes Salted Caramel Cocoa Mix

This was alright; better than the chocolate one, I think. It had a strong caramel flavor and scent, but it was warm and creamy which is what you want in a hot cocoa. Plus a unique flavor compared to plain chocolate, and not super duper artificial.

Cella's Milk Chocolate Covered Cherries

I always assumed the milk choco version of these would be significantly better than the dark choco version, but to be honest, I didn't get a huge difference! They're both just extremely sweet. The chocolate here is maybe a little softer, and they're still nut free and cute, but the overwhelming sweetness and low quality chocolate (sorry Tootsie) means that these aren't my favorite candy, alas. My parents got me these though, and that's very sweet of them.

Dark Chocolate Milano

These tasted very classic to me, and I think that's because this is just Original Milano (????). Well, anyway, original milano is pretty dang good. These were kept on my parents' sunroom, so they were cold, which I think actually made them better. Nice airy biscuit, good chocolate. They taste of the Pepperidge Farm cookie assortments I used to eat from as a kiddo, which are now too nutty for me. That is, they taste classic and elegant! Yum.

White Fudge Covered Oreo

Oh Oreo, how iridescent you are! Inside my stomach!

This is a cute little pack of exactly 1 Oreo, so you know it's a decadent varietal. The fudge covering is exactly that on other fudge covered cookies (what are they, Keebler elf cookies? Something), very sugary and not super thick or milky. It works pretty well with the oreo, and it does feel decadent. And it didn't kill me. Pretty cool little treat.

Land O Lakes Chocolate Supreme Cocoa Mix

This is a very stylish packet, and it looks big, so I used my big mug. But I think that was unwise (or I didn't mix/heat it enough), because it tasted a little bit watery and weak. Otherwise tasted like typical chocolate flavor hot chocolate, a little milky and quite sweet. Pleasant, fine, but now I have posher tastes in hochos (thanks, Dean's Sweets).

Overall
Cost: 6/10
Taste: 6/10

SuperSeedz - Sea Salt

Pumpkin seeds are one of the great snacks that make me feel like a normal human! The only seed I eat, I think. I actually like biting the shell off (or eating it), so these shell-less pumpkin seeds are actually not my preference, even though I get why people prefer it. Anyway, these are a fun, not sweet snack that is nut free (and actually says so on the packaging!). They mostly taste like salt, and I like that. You can also eat a bunch of them, and I like that too. Cute packaging, decent company, I hope they stick around!
