Wickedly Prime is a new food and beverage line offered exclusively for Amazon Prime members. For as low as $2.67 per snack, you get to experience and share “the best flavors” on earth, and they promise to give you your money back, if you’re not completely satisfied.
Currently, most of the Wickedly Prime items are available singly through Prime Pantry, and some multi-packs are available via Prime & Dash buttons – no Subscribe & Save… yet! Like the Happy Belly snacks I reviewed I’ve also noticed some of the goodies at a deep discount with Alexa (to order with your Echo).
TIP: You may find that some Wickedly Prime items qualify a Prime Pantry order for free shipping when you buy 5!
If you’re not a Prime member you can get a free trial here, and then check out more of the Amazon Prime exclusive goodies, like the Amazon Prime Sample Boxes!
Neither of these snacks were available the first time I ordered items for a Wickedly Prime review, so I was excited to see new additions so quickly! This leaves one item remaining – soft shell almonds!
Wickedly Prime Organic Yellow Corn Tortilla Chips ($2.19) Currently these chips are only available on Prime Pantry. They’re a great price, and a definite incentive to go ahead and take that plunge if you haven’t already. We order a lot of pantry items through Prime and we’re happy with the service!
The chips are 100% organic, kosher, certified gluten-free, and made with non-GMO ingredients.
I ordered these at the beginning of February and they had a best by date of May 15, 2017.
Love seeing that short ingredient list. FYI – they’re pretty low in sodium, too!
The chips themselves start with stone ground yellow masa and have a resultingly hearty texture. We didn’t have a problem with breakage, and we’ve noticed that our Prime Pantry shipments have protected our chips a lot better than they have in the past.
They are dusted with salt, but nothing approaching typical chip levels of sodium, and therefore have a sweeter taste. These are so sturdy that I would say that they are wonderful for dipping or for composed nachos (when you add the precise toppings to each chip rather than a whole pile). They would be fabulous with chili or any other soup or stew that uses chips. You will have no problem plowing these through thick rich dips like hummus or a 7 layer dip.
I decided to show a comparison! On the left are Tostitos Cantina chips, the closest mass marketed chip I could find to these. The Santitas are perhaps only half as thick. Price wise the bag is $2.48 on Prime Pantry and one ounce less. I actually prefer the Cantina chips for making nachos (which I do in the microwave) or just munching on. The texture of the Wickedly Prime tortilla chips is very thick, and I just happen to prefer the lighter, crispy texture. That being said, I would order the Amazon ones for a party to serve with a dip. Forget Tostitos scoops!
Wickedly Prime Chocolate Chip Cookies ($4.99 in Pantry, $19.96 for a pack of 4) The Amazon description calls these “Hand-picked artisanal cookies.” I doubt there are many rejects.
If you check out the ingredients there’s no organic or anything else – but these ingredients pretty much match what a homemade cookie would look like. Flour, butter, sugar, chips (3 kinds), vanilla, baking soda, salt. No weird things.
I was surprised to see this!
Two puffy packets awaited me!
Inside was a plastic-wrapped tray of cookies.
Best by October 8, 2017. Will they last that long in my house? NEVER!
The tray they come in is so tiny. I thought the packaging was odd. And it wasn’t resealable at all. So unless you use a resealable container, you’re faced with eating all of these at once (I don’t like putting treats like these in a Ziploc – I think they get an off taste).
The cookies themselves had a fine texture, slightly chewy, slightly crispy. I would not call them crunchy at all, which I liked (the only crunchy chocolate chip cookies I like are Famous Amos).
They were well baked!
The buttery flavor of the dough was nicely accented by dark, Belgian, and milk chocolate chips. The 3 distinct flavors keep you nibbling. The best way I can describe these cookies is that they are the closest thing to a homemade chocolate chip cookie I have ever bought commercially. I think “crispy” is definitely a misnomer for these cookies, but I also think however I describe them, you’ll be surprised by the texture (which is impossible to describe), but likely agree with me that they taste like a homemade cookie. They are definitely worth a try!
I personally love all the new products Amazon is putting out – clearly in anticipation of those high-tech grocery stores they’re planning. The cookies weren’t cheap, but they tasted a lot better than the similarly priced stack of cookies available at my local grocery store. The tortilla chips weren’t my favorite (I’ll stick with the sweet potato ones we tried), but I would certainly have them in the pantry for dipping purposes. Especially with queso (now I’m dreaming of queso!).
