Surprise! Sweets go Prime.

 On Saturday Amazon offered me 20% off of Prime Surprise Sweets,  I like surprises as much as the next person so I figured it was worth trying at least once.  Today the box arrived and Thea decided to help me check it out.

 So this is the box.

 And this is Thea realizing there is a new box.

 No need to rush. The box will wait.

The box appears to be safe.

 "Well are you going to open the box?"

 Prime Surprise Sweets, in case you forgot what the outside of the box said it is repeated on the inside.

 Once again Thea decides to help.

 Thea loses interest at this point.

So what do we have?

 This comes from Christopher's Bakery.  They do not sell an individual piece, but a full cake is $25.00 and this appears to be about 1/24th of a cake.  I'll assign $2.00 to this as individual servings usually cost extra.  At 410 calories a full cake has 9840 calories.

 This comes from The Crispery.  An order of 4 is $39.00.  There is nothing wrong with being basic sometimes so Pumpkin Spice could be good.  Each serving is 160 calories. (There are 4 servings in a bar.)

 Right now, slaves are working on cocoa farms in West Africa.  Many of them are children. Tony’s Chocolonely exists to change that. Our vision is 100% slave free chocolate. (Taken from the Tony's Chocolonely website.)
Freedom costs a little more, in this case $9.95 per bar.  Each serving has 230 calories, 4 servings per bar.

 And now we have the likely winner for best item in the box.  Danny Macaroons sells a 4 pack for $15.00.  Each Macaroon as approximately 140 calories and of course there are four of them in a 4 pack.

And finally we get to the real question, did I get my money's worth?  I got 37 dollars retail for about 15 bucks.  At full price you are still getting this stuff at half price.  There is some novelty value in trying out new gourmet candies and there is some fun in it being a surprise.  At this point I will give it a tentative, "yes."  I have not yet consumed any of the candies and I will post something in the comment section as each item is consumed. (See now we both get a surprise.  Well you get two because it is always a surprise when I update.)

Later

Edit 12/7/17
As promised, I am updating the post. I ate the Vanilla Wafer Cake. It was quite good. It was as rich as one might expect for an item that weighed three ounces and had 410 calories. It was very flavorful. When you order one of these cakes various items can be added in. My slice had raisins, shredded coconut, pecans and dried cranberries. Other than the coconut which was distributed fairly evenly the other items were discreet. This made each bite taste just a little different and have a slightly different texture. It enhanced the entire experience. I would definitely consider purchasing this cake for an event where no one is counting calories.
