Taffy Mail Review - American Candy Subscription Box & Discount Code!


I've seen quite a few subscription boxes focusing on snacks from overseas but surprisingly enough never an American centred one. Thankfully, Taffy Mail is a new subscription box that fills the gap - offering a surprise selection of US candy and treats direct to your door each month. With Christmas fast approaching this would be a fantastic gift idea for the sweet tooth in your life!

DISCOUNT CODE: GROCERY2

Taffy Mail subscriptions usually cost £14.99 per month with FREE mainland UK postage and packaging. There is no contract or commitment involved - you can cancel at any time. Taffy Mail have very kindly offered my readers a discounted rate of £12.99 for your first THREE MONTHS! This discounted priced is usually only offered for new subscribers for their first month.

Simple enter the following code upon checkout: GROCERY2 


Here's a quick round up of what was in my Taffy Mail box:


A&W Root Beer: I love trying out different American sodas and this A&W Root Beer certainly looks like a classic. It's made with Aged Vanilla too which sounds very interesting!


Wonka Nerds  Wild Cherry/Watermelon: I've bought these a few times before from US import stores. They're moreish little fruit flavoured candies. 


Kellogg's Pop Tarts: The US gets the most awesome flavours of Pop Tarts compared to us in the UK. I'm always jealous of their fab seasonal offerings. The Taffy Mail contained a surprise silver foiled Pop Tarts duo - it was quite exciting opening it up without knowing what the flavour was going to be! I'm pretty sure this one is Hot Fudge Sundae - super sweet and very enjoyable.


Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme: I'm not usually a fan of Hershey's chocolate but the ONE exception is their Cookies 'n' Creme bar. After a trip to New York many years ago now, I became somewhat obsessed with this sweet confection! It was lovely to see this large bar in the Taffy Mail.


Nestlé Butterfinger: Another American classic chocolate bar. The Butterfinger is a crispy, crunchy peanut butter based treat. I thought I had reviewed this already but it turns out not to be the case - watch this space!


Pop Rocks Cotton Candy Flavour: Pop Rocks are apparently the worlds number one brand of popping candy. They're are lots of different flavours available but this Cotton Candy flavour looks fun.


Hard candies: There was also a selection of hard/chewy candies in the Taffy Mail box; Cow Tales Strawberry , Air Heads Blue Raspberry  and Jolly Rancher Cherry Stix. I haven't tried any of these before and they're all well known brands that I've wanted to try for ages.


Wonka Laffy Taffy: Three different flavours of Wonka Laffy Taffy; Cherry, Banana, and Sour Apple. It's great that the Taffy Mail actually included some Taffy candy!


Tootsie Roll: Finally there was a selection of iconic US candy Tootsie Rolls and two Tootsie Roll Pops - lollipops in Grape and Cherry flavours.

Overall I was delighted with the selection of US candy and treats in the Taffy Mail - my husband and kids were really excited too and I can definitely think of a few people in my family who would love to receive this as a gift! If you've subscribed to Taffy Mail then I'd love to hear your thoughts below - thank you :)

  2. that's quite expensive, given the actual cost of those things - it's so annoying. do you like root beer? i cannot stand it, it tastes like the smell of Germolene to me!

    you really need to campaign for a b&m to open near you!! - they've had butterfingers and those pop tarts for a normal price! It was the firs time i've had butterfinger and i didnt like they way they glued themselves to my teeth...

    1. I know what you mean, a lot of US candy can be bought in bargain stores nowadays. Even my local Tesco has an American section. I think part of the cost in these subscription boxes is just the excitement of the surprise element of it all, especially if it's been received as a gift.

      BUT HOLD EVERYTHING - I've just realised that there is a B&M stores in Romford. Now, this isn't exactly local, but it's definitely within easy driving distance! So excited, I hope they have the American stuff. I really wish I could head there tomorrow but it will have to wait for Sunday instead. Watch this space!!

    3. ha well, this blog validates my own obsession with limited edition things and hoarding them! i seem to be in b&m most weeks - i used to be there every fortnight to get cat litter as they were the cheapest for the kind i used, and even tho that kitty is no longer with us, it's just a habit i've developed! i didnt see any american stuff last time i went, or maybe they just had pop tarts... but im sure ill post on here if i see anything super excited. i actually bought 2 single pots of Lucky charms from Poundland a few months ago, way cheaper than any US import store. i used to go to the states a lot so could top up my habits, but sadly that wont be happening so often now, so ill have to rely on b&M.

      im also slightly obsessed with Sanza.co.uk - who have special offers on NZ and Oz and SA goodie, for when i need a tim tam fix or some of the things i had when i visited NZ

  5. Oooo I am expecting one of these soon. I didn't know you could get American treats in the discount stores I have only ever seen it in our garden centre where it is really expensive. I think this would make a nice gift for someone that has everything #triedandtested

  6. Eeee I thought the Root Beer was vile - it tasted of germolene! That said I do love the idea of the subscription - especially if you're an American living in England :)
    Thanks for linking up with #TriedTested this week x
