OrangeGlad Sweet Box Subscription
Review by Lauren
Source: one month’s box was sent for review; all opinions are my own
Review: A box of different sweets every single month? Yes, please! I’ve heard of OrangeGlad for awhile now so it was really great to finally check it out. My mom was definitely a fan, and this one is one subscription service I plan on checking out again. If you subscribe, you get a variety of different sweets from around the United States for only $19 a month ($15 a month + $4 shipping). This is such a fantastic price for the amount of items you get.
Each package includes a booklet (shown in the picture above) that includes information about all the items (you get two of each item, another plus!). Each page has the name of the item you are going to taste, as well as information about the company that made it (where they are from and pictures of the chefs are included too!).
Another plus about the booklet is that the bottom of the page says
Ingredients (all of mine noted to look at the label), as well as a Best
by Date which is handy in knowing what you should eat first. One says to
enjoy within 9 months while another should be enjoyed within 1 week, so
it varies!
By the time I write this, my mom and I have tried most of the items in this box and there are definitely things I would love to try again. I’ll have to search these companies online and see about online orders for the future!
The Hard Crack’s Original Toffee Cookie Snack Packs were so amazing. My mom and I both loved these, and I seriously want more. Each pack comes with six thin cookies (three on each side). These are absolutely one of my favorite items in this month’s box. If you like toffee, you are sure to love these little cookies. Each pack is perfect for a snack – or to share!
The other item in the photo (on the left and ride sides) are Raspberry White Chocolate Cookies from Selma’s Cookies. I haven’t tried this yet, but my mom had one the other day. She said it had too much raspberry for her taste, but if you love raspberry, then these sound perfect.
The box on top is Georgia Peach Cookies by Byrd’s Famous Cookies. We received two boxes of these (again, each item had two of each – even though I only photographed one of each in the above photo) but my mom and I both thought they were too sweet for us. I liked them but we decided to share the other box with someone else.
In the bottom right hand corner, we have Citrus Mix Fruit Rock Candy by Raley’s Confectionary, which I haven’t had the chance to try yet either. I think they look really good though and I have a feeling I’ll like these. I’m a fan of hard candy!
Finally, we have the item in the bottom left hand corner – Craft Beer Pretzel Caramels from Shotwell Candy. Along with the toffee cookies, these were mine and my mom’s favorite item in the box. Each package included 3 individually wrapped caramels. Mmm mmm…I could use some more of these right now, but alas, we have eaten them all!
All in all, this was a fantastic box. Who wouldn’t want a mix of new and exciting sweets at their door every single month? I really love that you get two packages of each item – plenty to eat and share if you wish, which is especially good if you are sharing with a family. I also love that it’s only $19 a month in all which is a pretty good price for a food subscription box, I think. I will definitely check out more of these boxes in the future. I’d like to say I would subscribe every month, but you never know about money issues – another positive though is that you can skip a month (or cancel) at any time.
Sigh… you made me hungry just looking at the post… Glad you enjoyed most of them.

I don't have a sweet tooth myself, so I would likely pass on this box; but, the contents are adorable!

Must be nice indeed, thanks for sharing!
My favourite box so far. I'd love to see something like this available in the UK. A box filled with traditional sweets that are no longer readily available would be great.
Yes please, I will take 10! All this goodness delivered to your door! Fabulous!
Definitely sounds like a yummy box!
These look yummy
Stahp! You are making me want to shell out money for awesome subscription services. 😛 This one sounds yumm!
Wow! Never heard of this, but it certainly sounds yummy and worth trying. Your review is fantastic and descriptive! Hugs…Ro
Oh yum!
That looks like a very yummy subscription!
Not. A. Good. Idea.
Lol. Seriously. Look how yummy those look!
That really does look like a good amount for that price. Plus I love that you can skip a month!
This is a VERY dangerous box!! I like that it seems to be mostly baked goods rather than candies. I try to stay away from artificial stuff (especially colors) so candy is almost always out – unless there's specifically a natural option with this box. I'll have to check it out!

I would be really happy to receive desserts/treats every month. It's a surprise every month. The Georgia Peach cookies sound especially yummy. I hope you enjoy more OrangeGlad boxes to come!
MmmMm this looks delicious! I've actually been looking into a subscription service that allows us to try treats and candies from all over the world! Thanks for sharing this one 😀
I hadn't heard of this one. I'm gluten free so it probably wouldn't work for me. My kids and husband would love it though!
Oh how yummy! Love sweets and those look so tasty. I'd not heard of this subscription service before. Amazing how many there are out there. Whew!
