May's Petit Amuse Box arrived this month with a sticker on the side that said "keep out of direct sunlight". Luckily the delivery people in my area can read....so they left it on my porch in direct sunlight. Thanks guys! I appreciate the effort.....
Nothing in my box was melted or ruined, so I was able to enjoy the 3 products that they included this month.
Jaali Bean Lentil Soup Kit- I am actually very intrigued by this! I love Indian food and this little kit comes with a little bag attached of a basil leaf, a cinnamon stick, and a red chili pepper. You can read and understand all the ingredients listed on the back (which is fantastic) and there are suggestions on the back on how to change up the soup (like making it with broth instead of water and adding sour cream).
Nuttyness Chocolate Covered Marzipan- I have no idea what marzipan is, but I ate this whole bar. After a quick wiki search, I learned that it is a confection made of sugar or honey with almond meal. That must be why my tummy was upset after. This thing was delicious, but rich as hell. It had a light lemon ginger flavor to it, but mostly you could taste the almond. This was amazing, don't get me wrong, but I think that I will have to wait awhile before my next marzipan experience.
Exotic Salted Caramel- This stuff is amazing! But I have had it before in March's Petit Amuse box. While I enjoyed the repeat of a fantastic sweet treat, I was really hoping for something new.
I decided a few weeks ago that I needed to cut down on my boxes and unfortunately Petit Amuse did not make the cut :( I have to say it has been a yummy monthly treat, but both my monthly box spending and my waist-line really need to be kept in check. Maybe I will come back in the future Petit Amuse!
