What is Treatsie? Treatise helps you discover amazing, high-end artisan sweets you'd never come across unless you stumbled upon the shop. Every month Treatsie delivers AMAZING sweets right to your doorstep for a low fee of $15 a month plus $4.95 shipping and handling.

I recently came across this subscription box while looking for snack boxes. I am SOOOOOOOO pleased with this I can't even describe how happy it made me when it showed up in my mailbox. I'm going to show and review the items I got in my first box and down below I'll include a link for your first box FREE.



First off let's talk about the care that they put into making sure your box arrives on time and with no melted/spoiled products. I don't have a picture of it but it comes in this standard brown box (like most sub services) but the "extra" care is this: Your box comes wrapped in some kind of protective cloth and covered in ice packs and then sealed inside a standard postage bag. It (was) is June in FL and nearly 100 degrees every single day and my items came perfect. You open the box and there is a card on top telling you what you received, how much the item retails for and a little about the product.


Salty Road Salt Water Taffy
 3.5 oz box - $7
Each subscriber receives one of the following flavors: Bergamont, Vanilla, Sour Cherry, Peppermint, Sea Salt Caramel Apple or Salty Mango Lassi.

Thoughts: I received Bergamont as my flavor in my box, I normally LOVE salt water taffy but this one just didn't do it for me.  It is described as a citrusy, floral scent and it was just that. It was very floral and I just didn't like it. The consistency of the taffy was to die for, and I'm sure if I had got another flavor it would have been amazing. Still a good deal though and if you like them you can buy any of the flavors mentioned in the Treatsie store.


Brittel Bothers Cashew Brittle
3 oz - $5 7oz - $9

The team at Brittle Brothers makes a brittle that is unlike any other you've had. They start with the highest quality cashews available, then load the brittle with as much nuts as possible without burning the batch.

Thoughts: HOLY OMYLANTA! This stuff is amazing! The sweet! The salty! The crunch! Oh I just can't even put into words how much I love thee Brittle Brothers.



Olive & Sinclair Sea Salt Dark Chocolate Bar
1 bar - $7

Speckled with flaked sea salt, this chocolate begins with its clean salinity, lending itself to the occasional crunch and burst of flavor, awakening the tongue to a citrusy, deep, dark chocolate finish. Great for the chocolate connoisseur, and mighty tasty with a full bodied tannic Priorat wine.

Thoughts: Meh, that is my thoughts. The chocolate is extremely dark and bitter and there is way too much sea salt on it for my taste buds.



Olive & Sinclair Buttermilk White Chocolate Bar
1 bar - $7

Delicious and tany, 45% buttermilk white chocolate puts a fresh twist on a classic flavor profile.

Thoughts: This was okay, definitely better than the sea salt dark chocolate version. It's very tangy and not quite sweet. It doesn't have the smooth richness that usually is associated with chocolate. Either way my kids seemed to like it!
