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 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.

The information card gives you a sweet description of each treat inside!

All the sweets in this box. TIP: you can see what you’ll be getting right after you order from the Invoice button under Your Orders.

Byrd’s Scotch Oatmeal Cookies ($8.48) Crunchy cookies made of oats, cinnamon, vanilla, and raisin paste.

These are old fashioned cookies made with the special Byrd’s original time honored recipe. So delectable! I actually totally love this kind of oatmeal raisin cookie (and this one was sooo good!) but never knew it had a special name.

Bissinger’s Gummy Pandas Tart Cherry & Lime ($10.99) Not gummy bears but gummy pandas!

I love the fruity flavor of these gummies! And the fact that they were made with organic sweeteners and natural fruit extracts made me love them even more.

Gluten-free, dairy-free, and no high fructose corn syrup. It’s a guilt-free treat to take with you wherever you go. Good thing it comes in a resealable pack! I did try another brand of these in a previous box, and the mango ones I ate earlier edged these ones out – but they were still tasty.

FLATHAU’s Fine Foods Raspberry Snaps ($2.28) These shortbread cookies come in a cute pink treats box.

Covered in powdered sugar with a “snap” of raspberry in the middle.

These are a repeat item (different flavor) and unfortunately my husband and I both thought they were way overbaked. However, a commenter on the previous post said they liked them. To each their own – even our kids won’t eat them.

Island Treasures Gourmet Cinnamon Pecan Streusel Rum Cake ($3.12). A cinnamon cake made with real rum. This makes up for the previous cookie.

All the ingredients are at the back of the box.

Looks promising from this angle!

The cake has a really smooth flavor, since 99% of the spirit is baked out. And the aroma of cinnamon and vanilla is really strong in this one when you open the package. The top is coated in a great cinnamony pecan streusel.

This lasted a surprisingly long time, it’s so rich. And yet again, we really enjoyed this rum cake variant.

The instructions are to turn your cake upside down for a few minutes to let the flavors permeate. And take a look at those pecans. I could pick them out and eat them alone.

And as you slice into this scrumptious cake you will see the swirl of pecan at the top of each piece.

This gourmet box is still a win for me even though the raspberry snaps are kind of disappointing. The other products are fun snacks and we received them fresh and yummy. We just hope the next box will not contain another overcooked treat. We’re ready again to press the button, but we’ll probably hold out until the first full week of November!

    I got a Halloween inspired box. Monster size peanut butter cup. It was delicious. A triple chocolate covered caramel apple. Another delicious item. Toffee caramel popcorn which was yummy. The last was a cinnamon brown sugar tart, it was good tasted like cinnamon roll. It would have been better heated up.

    This was my second box and it was a complete bomb for me. I got all the same items as you. Oatmeal cookies? Fantastic. I love oatmeal cookies. But the rest sucked. I will admit, I haven’t tried the cake. I don’t like the taste of alcohol, so it’s been left alone. The shortbread were… okay. I don’t fancy powdered sugar covered cookies and then… they were shortbread. I am usually underwhelmed by shortbread. (I actually stopped getting OrangeGlad because my last box was three different kinds of shortbread. In one box.) As for the gummy pandas, I love gummies, but I loathe cherry. It’s like an entire bag of gummy medicine.

      Two things: #1 have you tried calling the feedback line? and #2 next time you order within minutes you can check your invoice on my orders and if you don’t like what’s listed, just cancel the order. Give it a shot? I do like those cakes and I do like the taste of rum. It’s not particularly alcoholish in that cake. I can’t say whether you’d enjoy!
