December Jungle Stand Review - The Santa Claus Bar



The Box:  The Jungle Stand
The Cost: $9.92/month
The Goods: A taste of 6 different foods, chosen around a theme.


This month's theme was Santa's Favorite Sweets!  


The description card of all the goodies.


Chocolate Truffles: J is a weirdo who hates truffles, so he only took a tiny little bite of one.  I was happy to have the rest to myself.


Pfeffernusse:  Neither of us had ever had pfeffernuse before.  J was pretty neutral on them, but I loved them.


Shortbread Cookies:  These were tied for J's favorite.  J usually buys the plain shortbread cookies, so adding the chocolate made these a bit more special.


Dark Chocolate Acai:  These were J's other favorite.  I've actually bought these before - they're from Brookside and pretty dang tasty.  I'm sort of sad that J's realized he likes them now...I'll have to fight him off of mine. ;)


Peppermint Waffle Cookies:  These weren't anything special, but we saved them for last so they did make a nice refreshing end to our tasting.  


Chocolate Orange Sticks:  These were my favorite.  I love orange/chocolate combinations.  J hates it, so again he only ate a tiny bite, but I was super happy to not have to share as much with him.



J and I both guessed that December was going to be cookies.  Predictable, but certainly not unwelcome.  I do hope that we get something other than sweets for January.  I don't mind all the sugar, but J doesn't have much of a sweet tooth so it would be nice to mix it up.
