Review: Tastykake® Kandy Bar Kakes

Hello again everyone! I hope your Memorial Day was wonderful. I got to celebrate mine by enjoying a yummy Tastykake Kandy Bar sent to me by Influenster. I had never heard of the brand Tastykake before, it's always exciting trying new things!



Here is what their profile on Influenster says, "Kandy Bar Kakes are the best of both worlds. Light and fluffy chocolate enrobed cakes come in a unique kandy bar shape with a delicious créme filling made with your favorite candy flavors. Available in S'mores, Peppermint, and Peanut Butter flavor". 



I got the peanut butter flavor, made with Reese's peanut butter(yum). When I opened my Tastykake, I was a bit disappointed because the outer chocolate coating was crumbling off. I'm assuming it became so crumbly in transit. However, despite the crumbling chocolate, this Tastykake Kandy Bar was delicious.



It wasn't too sweet as I was afraid it might be. When I looked at it, I thought it would be like any of the other store bought snack cakes. It wasn't at all though. I loved the balance of salty from the peanut butter, and sweet from the kake, créme filling and chocolate.



 The price seems to be a bit higher than the other snack cakes at,  Single Serve - $1.69 Family Pack - $4.49. The family pack has 5 individually wrapped bars in each box. I would give this a 4 out of 5 stars, it might have gotten a 5 if mine hadn't been so crumbly. I say give them a try if you're looking for a new snack, and you enjoy these kind of snack cakes.

Influenster Spring Fever VoxBox 2013

Hello again everyone! I hope you're having a great weekend. Are you ready for Memorial day? Today's post is going to be a little different from my other posts. It's pretty exciting. I was sent the Spring Fever VoxBox from Influenster. If you don't know what Influenster is don't worry, I'll  tell you all about them. Here is what their website says

"Basically, Influenster is a place for culture junkies to come together and share their unique opinions of products and experiences. Active members of Influenster get exclusive access to deals, promotions, and swag from brands that thrive off the input (the good, the bad, and the ugly -- they just want to know what's up).

Anyone can request an invite, and it's free. If you qualify you can receive free products to review. All you have to do is give your honest opinion on the products sent to you. I qualified for their spring fever VoxBox, yay. A VoxBox is a box sent to you of full size, or deluxe samples of products to test out. This is my second VoxBox to receive from Influenster. However it's been over a year since my last one. I got my VoxBox in on Friday, and here is my overview post about the box. I'm planning on doing more in-depth posts on each product. This post is just to show you what came in my VoxBox.
