The October Degustabox arrived yesterday and I think it's my favorite box yet! It was crammed full of products with a focus on snacks and treats. For anyone who hasn't seen my previous posts, Degustabox is a monthly foodie subscription service that sends out a surprise selection of products from new and established brands. It always has a great mix of useful groceries and new goodies and opening up the box is always exciting. If you're looking for a Christmas gift for the foodie in your life then Degustabox is definitely worth keeping in mind as a unique present.

Here's a quick round up of all the products inside the October Degustabox:
Get Buzzing Original Nutty Flapjack: One of the main reasons I enjoy Degustabox is finding new brands to discover. This range of 100% natural flapjacks has been created to provide both fast and slow releasing energy. Take a look at www.getbuzzing.co.uk for more information on the range. Available at Ocado and Waitrose.
Bear Paws: I've been meaning to try these for awhile now so I was pleased to find them in the Degustabox. My kids are already fans of the Bear Pure Fruit YoYo's and they enjoyed these cute little paw shapes too. They're a pure fruit snack with no added sugars or concentrates and are gently baked. Available in most supermarkets in the baby and toddler aisle.
Dr Oetker: Degustabox often includes the latest baking aids from Dr Oetker and the October box sees two great products. The Dr Oetker Premium 90% Extra Dark Chocolate is made from single origin Ghanaian cocoa beans and is described as adding an intense and indulgent chocolate taste to home baking. 
Dr Oetker Fine Dark Cocoa Powder: The second Dr Oetker item is a multipack of three pre-measured 25g sachets of finest quality cocoa powder. These individual sachets are great for convenience and freshness and the cocoa itself gives a rich dark chocolate color and flavor. Looks like I have the perfect excuse to bake a chocolate cake this weekend! 
Special K Cracker Crisps: I've reviewed the Special K Cracker Crisps range before HERE (in the early days on my blog!) but I hadn't got round to trying their latest Barbecue flavor yet. I like these new sharing bags, compared to the boxes, and the Barbecue flavor is very tasty indeed. We managed to finish the whole bag in one sitting. They're also available in Sea Salt & Balsamic Vinegar, Sour Cream & Onion and Sweet Chilli flavours.
Jelly Belly Sours: Really pleased to find this 100g bag of Jelly Belly Sours in the Degustabox. I'll be saving these for our next family movie night.
Brioche Pasquier Pains au Lait with Chocolate Chips: There are two fresh products from Brioche Pasquier. Since it's half term and the kids are at home this week, these delicoius pains au lait have come in very useful. I love them with a cup of coffee in the morning too!
Brioche Pasquier Sliced Brioche Loaf: The second Brioche Pasquier product is this large Sliced Brioche Loaf. For some reason I've never actually tried this loaf before, even though I have seen it in the supermarket. It's ludicrously tasty though and once I started toasting a few slices... well, let's just say that the kids and Mr Grocery Gems couldn't get enough. Just try it spread with some Nutella and you'll understand. 
Enhance Drinks: These are described as being designed to transform water into a light fruity drink, with only one squeeze from this small bottle being enough to flavor a glass of water. The drinks are made with real fruit juice , natural flavours, and have no added sugar. Enhance Drinks are available in four flavours; Orange & Passion Fruit, Lemon & Lime, Strawberry & Kiwi, and Apple & Blackcurrant. 
Blue Dragon Sweet Chilli Sauce: Two 190g bottles of this classic dipping sauce are included in the October Degustabox. Sweet Chilli Sauce is a store cupboard staple for me, I often use it to perk up salads and I also like it on veggie burgers. Next time, I'm tempted to use the sauce to make this Blue Dragon Pad Thai recipe. 
Kent's Kitchen Meal Kits: This one looks really interesting! The Kent's Kitchen meal kits contain three little pots with all the oils and spices needed to create a delicious meal. They are made using all natural ingredients and are perfect to keep for days when some meal inspiration is needed. There are fourteen different meal kits available on their website HERE. I received the Bengal Meal Kit in the Degustabox. I'd love to try the Brazilian Feijoada meal kit next!
Solo Toasted Marshmallow Creme: I was very surprised to see an American import product in the Degustabox. This is part of a collaboration with online store American Soda and the Degustabox also includes a leaflet with a discount code for their website. I've never tried a marshmallow spread before but it looks like it would be great for decorating cupcakes. It's also tasty straight out of the tub! Take a look at www.americansoda.co.uk for more American goodies.
Bear Alphabites: There was also this sample size box of Bear Alphabites included as a little extra in the Degustabox. 
Degustabox Fridge: This month also sees an extra product in the form of a voucher for a four pack of Benecol Fat Free Yogurts or new Greek Style Yogurts. It can be redeemed at most supermarkets and I've already picked up my pack from my local Tesco.Overall, I was delighted with this month's Degustabox, it's one of my favorite boxes I've received from them. It has a fun selection of products which all appeal to me. At this point I usually list the products I was most pleased to find but there are just too many - I would have to list all of them again. If you're new to Degustabox, or a subscriber, then I'd love to hear your thoughts on this months Degustabox in the comments below.For more details:
