The Amazon Prime Surprise Sweets Box is an exclusive Amazon Prime box that delivers a surprise mix of treats – all at the press of a button! For $18 only per box, you can now order an array of chocolates, sweet snacks, and a lot more, anytime, any day – but you’ll need a special button to do it.

As long as you’re an Amazon Prime Member (get a 30-day trial here), in order to get this box you’ll need the Amazon Surprise Sweets Dash Button. Invitation only, you’ll need to request your button here. Buttons are $4.99 and the purchase price will be refunded on your first order! And yes, you can press the button any time.

Handmade caramels? One possibility. Decadent brownies? That’s another. Chocolate-covered gummy bears? Not ruling those lil’ guys out. You’ll always get a few artisanal treats to try in each box, and you’ll find every treat inside will be completely different from the next. Prime Surprise Sweets boxes are carefully curated to ensure you only get top-notch artisanal treats from across the nation. Click below to meet a few of the artisans behind these decadent creations.

The information card gives you a sweet list of all the treats inside! Plus a message taunting you into pressing the button again (if you have received this box, how many days until you folded and pressed it again?!).

Looking good from here!

All the sweets in this box!

Sweitzer Candy Shop Champagne Bubbles ($5) As far as I can tell, these are the exact same thing as Sugarfina’s version – right down to the packaging. Jelly Belly sells them for $11.08 a pound right on Amazon. So while the packaging is chic, I’m not giving a lot of credence to that value. But let’s get on to the candy.

They’re adorable! (And didn’t my 8-year-old do an amazing job?!) Absolutely no alcohol, they have a crisp grapey flavor – the “bubbles” come with the nonpareils dotting the gummies.

They made a lovely treat on our gold serving plate.

Unna Raspberry Cave Cookies ($6.99) The quality of these beauties shown through – they consist only of organic flour, sugar, organic butter, vanilla & organic raspberry jam. They were absolutely magnificent, and definitely fit to be enjoyed for fika, breakfast, or a random sweet treat any time of the day.

There were 8 cookies in the box and I ate every one of them without sharing. The shortbread was crumbly and buttery.

And it set off the delicious jam that had zero weird jam aftertaste. These were some of the best cookies I’ve ever eaten.

Chocolate Twist Root Beer Float Chocolate Bar ($7) Have you ever had any of the giant artisanal candy bars? This is my second one and I have to admit, they’re pretty much worth every penny. I can go without store candy bars if I can eat these once in a while instead.

This bar is described as so: A layer of Root Beer Caramel (made with Jo Snow Syrups’ Sass! Root Beer Syrup,) a layer of Vanilla Bean White Chocolate Ganache, dipped in Milk Chocolate and finished with sprinkles.

Mine was decidedly missing the sprinkles shown on Chocolate Twist’s website (photo above is their stock photo). Their bar does look a lot more fun. I think the ones in the boxes are very likely seconds that didn’t get sprinkled. It hardly makes a difference.

The root beer caramel has a delicious, authentic flavor, and I love the taste in caramel. I didn’t much notice the rest because the root beer was enticing and delicious, and of course, the whole thing is dunked in chocolate.

I did finally find some sprinkles on the bottom!

Fatty Sundays Dark Chocolate Sprinkle Pretzels ($6.98) This is a double-sized box of Fatty’s! They are delicious, crisp pretzels and while I love the dark chocolate and pretzel combo, I admit I only took one bite and saved these ridiculously fun looking snacks for my kids.

They’re so darling, I die.

Bonus! Fran’s Chocolate Fran’s Blend 64% ($0.69) It looks like every box has 3-4 items and a little sweet bite as a bonus! 

The chocolate was nice and fruity and velvety smooth. Delicious!

My box had a value of nearly $27, but as I mentioned, one of my items was a bulk candy repackaged into a neat little cube, and another looked like maybe it wasn’t retail quality. That being said…

It took me less than a week to hit that button again! Compared to similar subscriptions I thought the value was excellent, and so was the taste of everything in my box. I’m absolutely delighted with Surprise Sweets!
