*Disclosure: I have an ongoing relationship with Mitten Create. The opinions expressed here, however, are my own.

Better Made red licorice - who knew that Better Made (purveyor of chips) made licorice?! I certainly did not.

Dave's Sweet Tooth Toffee - I had seen this at Leon & Lulu before, in Clawson, but had never tried it. In this month's box, I received the Dark Chocolate Cherry flavor, but my favorite so far is their Vanilla Toffee. So tasty!

FRUITBELT Apple Caraway Tonic - This is something I probably would not have bought for myself in the grocery store, upon first sight, but I ended up really liking it.

Great Lakes Potato Chip Co. - Michigan Cherry BBQ potato chips - Definitely an interesting flavor, and I hadn't heard of this company before I received the chips in my Mitten Crate box one month.

Mindo Hot Chocolate Stick - I'll be honest and say I haven't tried this yet, as it's been sitting on my counter for a month or so now, but I'm looking forward to it! It looks delicious.





Overall, I am quite pleased with the Mitten Crate boxes I have received. It would make a great treat for yourself or family/friends, especially if they are fellow Michiganders or former Michigan residents that perhaps miss the Michigan brands they used to eat or drink.

I have been receiving subscription boxes from Mitten Crate for a few months now, and every month, I'm excited to see their box at my doorstep. Though I'm not a native Michigander, I've lived here for 2/3 of my life and I've come to appreciate Michigan brands. Mitten Crate is a great refresher (or introducer!) to these.I first started working with Mitten Crate when I ran across their pop-up shop at The Rust Belt Market, in Ferndale, but I had been coveting their products long before that—and you can now shop for individual products on their website, too.The other option is to purchase a subscription , which is $35 per month, renews monthly, and is one you can cancel anytime. If you want to buy a one-time box or gift, it's $35 plus shipping, and if you want a 3-month subscription, it's $99 for 3 months.Needless to say, all of the products featured in the box and on their website are made in Michigan - hence the name "Mitten Crate"!Here are some of my favorite products from the crates I've received thus far:
