The Boxwalla Food box contains delicious artisan crafted foods and goodies from all across the US! Boxwalla is a bi-monthly subscription service that offers four themes: natural beauty, artisanal food, international film, or books! In Boxwalla, you’ll be able to discover great artisans and artists from across the globe. After your first box you can switch themes, but of course, you can subscribe to more than one box as well.

The food box focuses on small-batch goodies, but only the best!

I love the box itself, which is gorgeous and save all of mine. The box itself is a luxe cotton rag paper covered box handcrafted by artisans in Rajasthan, India, and no child labor is ever used. The outside of the reusable box indicates which variety of Boxwalla you received. I love how the box itself supports socially and environmentally conscious goals.

The December Food Box is themed ‘All About Chocolate’ and it is filled with small batch, artisanal chocolate from around the U.S.

Everything in the December Boxwalla Food Box!

Dandelion Chocolate’s Single Origin Bar: Mantuano, Venezuela (70%) ($8): The beans used in this chocolate bar come from a small-scale women-run cooperative on the Venezuelan coast.

It has notes of roasted almonds, fudge brownies, and dulce de leche. This unique bar doesn’t contain cocoa butter, lecithin or vanilla.

I love the richness of this chocolate. It’s melt-in-your-mouth good!

Chocolat Moderne’s Avant Garde Bar in Maple Magic ($9): Dark chocolate, maple syrup and sea salt caramel sounds like an odd combination, but it tastes really good!

This bar is best before April 8, 2018. That’s still a few months from now, but the bar was immediately gone after we opened it. It’s that good.

It is speckled with natural orange and red color in a modern art mélange of color.

It’s hollow inside, but I could really taste the sea salt caramel. Yum!

Elements Truffles Turmeric Infused Dark Hot Chocolate ($10): A rich cup of hot chocolate, anyone? This hot chocolate powder is made from turmeric, infused raw, organic Peruvian cacao powder and sweetened with coconut palm sugar. This isn’t the first turmeric drink we’ve seen in Boxwalla food and they’re always interesting and delicious!

It’s such a unique blend! Depending on your preference, you can enjoy it with water or milk. I prefer it simply with hot water because it makes a velvety Barcelona-style hot chocolate.

Zen Bunni’s Rainbow Box ($30) The packaging almost fooled me. It looks like a box of tea but (thank goodness it’s not) it’s actually a box of chocolate featuring nine different flavors!

All of these chocolates are handcrafted using certified biodynamic, organic, and wild foraged ingredients including heirloom spices, herbs, leaves, flowers, nuts, oils, salts, and minerals.

Individual wrappings represent all the colors of the rainbow, plus a little crystal.

Flavors include Strawberry Schizandra, Shiva Rose, Ginger Turmeric, Vanilla Reishi, Holy Basil Mint, Lost Salt of Atlantis, Chaga Chai, Mystic Mocha, and Canyon Classic. (They’re so pretty we couldn’t help but take a few extra pics!)

This chocolate lasts quite long, the best before date is November 13, 2018.

We opened Strawberry Schizandra to try. It smelled and tasted heavenly good!

The addition of dried strawberries gave the chocolate bar a nice texture.

By the way, all the wrappers used in the box are plant-based and compostable. My 9 year old opened and tested each and every flavor with me, and we were swooning over every teeny nibble!

What a fun way to wrap up the year! The December Boxwalla Food box introduced us to gourmet chocolates with interesting flavors, which are also perfectly suited for the holiday season. It’s that time of the year when we are allowed to indulge ourselves, right? Another thing I like about this subscription is that the items they feature are made by people who give back to the community. Excited for the next box already!
