Home Comforts is the theme of the latest Degustabox.
Degustabox is a monthly food and drink subscription box. It's an excellent way of discovering new products which have only just appeared in the shops, or those which have been around for a while, but you haven't had a chance to try them yet.
Thanks to Degustabox, I have found new favourites to add to our shopping list, including some products which I otherwise wouldn't have tried.
Each time a monthly box arrives, its contents are a total surprise. You get a good selection of foods and drinks.
If you haven't tried Degustabox subscription box yet, and would like to have a go, I have a £3off discount from your first box (and you can unsubscribe any time), just use code DKRLN when placing an order.
What did we get in Home Comforts Degustabox box? This month's selection will appeal to chocoholics.
McVitie's Blissfuls (£2.59) has been selected as the Product of the Month. Enjoy crunchy biscuits with a smooth cream filling, either Belgian Chocolate Cream with Hazelnut or Caramel. It's a lovely multi-textured treat, great with a cup of tea or coffee.
They are delicious, and the resealable pouches help to keep them fresh longer.
Nutritional values: 72kcal and 4.8g of sugar per biscuit.
Subscribers will receive one of two flavours in their box.
Available in all major supermarket chains.
KitKat 2 Finger White Chocolate Biscuit Bar (£1.99) is the latest addition to the KitKat range. It is made with sustainably sourced cocoa (Cocoa Plan and Rainforest Alliance-certified). You get the classic crispy wafer biscuits, covered with the smooth and creamy white chocolate.
No artificial colours, flavours or preservatives, and suitable for vegetarians.
I'm not the biggest fan of the white chocolate (with a few rare exceptions), but my guys are the opposte, they adore white chocolate. White KitKat disappeared so fast, I even haven't had a chance to sample any.
Nutritional values: 106kcal and 9.6g of sugar per bar.
Available in all major supermarket chains.
Urban Fruit Wellness Strength (£2.85 -£3) is a blend of tropical fruit in bite sized cubes.
Blended fruit bites are made with pineapple, mango, passionfruit, strawberry and beetroot. Just fruit and veg, and nothing else. They are fruity, flavourful and chewy. With 37% of your RI per 100g of potassium, which contributes to normal muscle function.
High in fibre, gluten free and vegan friendly, 1 of your 5 a day, these tasty snacks are available in three flavours: Strength, Immune and Glow.
Handy to have in the pantry for the mid-afternoon snack.
Nutritional values: 312kcal and 58g of sugar per 100g (one pack is 85g).
Available in-store at Waitrose, Tesco and online on Ocado and Amazon.
Mikado Milk Chocolate (£1.50 for 75g pack) is a well-known brand of chocolate biscuits. These thin crunchy sticks dipped in smooth chocolate are utterly irresistible. One stick is only 11kcal, though it's hard to stop at one.
These sticks come in a handy flip-top pack which makes it easier to snack.
Available at all major supermarkets and online.
Bounce Choc Brownie (£1.99) is a plant-based protein ball, filled with a squishy nut butter centre and coated with chocolate. High in protein, fibre and all the good stuff, dairy-free, gluten free, vegan.

BelVita Soft Bakes Choc Chips (£2.79) are soft bakes, made with wholegrain cereals and chocolate chips and added minerals. BelVita promises to give you energy for the whole morning. Soft Bakes are gently baked to preserve nutritional qualities inside and provide slow release carbohydrates through your morning.

Tea India UK Masala Chai (£2.50) is a delicious, rich and warming blend of black tea, cinnamon, cloves and anise, offering you an authentic chai experience.
Brew as a normal cup of tea, or simmer in hot milk for a creamy chai latte. I like to add a teaspoon of honey to this aromatic chai. Dairy milk works perfectly with chai, but some plant-based milks like oat milk or almond milk are great with this brew as well.
Available in Waitrose, co-Op, Sainsbury's, Booths, TK Maxx, on Ocado, Amazon and teaindia.co.uk.
Knorr Vegetable Stock Cubes (£1.45) is another handy staple, which might enhance a big variety of dishes. It's been promoted recently as an ingredient for #CheatOnMeat campaign.
I buy it to add to soups, both vegetarian and chicken-based. But you can also add it to pasta, gravy or sauces. Made with carefully selected herbs and spices, vegetable stock cubes complement the natural flavours of vegetables and legumes.
Available in all major supermarket chains.
And finally, Pizza Express VHouse Light Sachet (£0.50 for the sachets, or £2 for the full sized bottle). Recreate a PizzaExpress salad at home, with a delicious light dressing. It's a perfect partner to a variety of fresh salads
This reduced fat dressing is made with white wine vinegar, rapeseed oil and herbs. 30% less fat compared to the standard House dressing.
Available in all major supermarket chains. The sachets are currently not available to purchase.
Yum, yum. This box has some of our favourites. We go through so many of those Belvita bars and we love Mikado sticks. We always get them from B&M. Those McVitie's biscuits are new to me. I think I need to try them x
