The Snack Box

What's in the box: A large box of snack-size tubs filled with dried fruit, nuts, seeds, crunchies, honey brittle, jelly sweets and other surprise snacks, depending on the box you choose.

The Snack Box is a South African online shop that sells large boxes of pre-portioned snacks delivered by courier. Most of the range is dried fruit, nuts, seeds, crunchies and honey brittle, packed in small tubs with snap-on lids. That makes the boxes handy for lunchboxes, office drawers, gym bags and handbags. Not everything is strictly healthy. Some boxes lean on jelly sweets and treats, and the range also includes a Movie Box with a blanket and a Coffee Box. You buy boxes one at a time, and the site says there are no monthly contracts, so you are not locked in. The Family Value Box and the Surprise Sweetie Snack Box cost R499 each, the Healthy Snack Box Surprise costs R599, and the pre-packed lunch box snacks run from R890 to R1,150. Those prices make most sense for busy families who already buy a lot of snacks. The site promises new items every month, but it does not clearly explain how repeat orders work or how often boxes ship. The news section also looks rarely updated, and a new box is listed as coming soon. If you want details on contents or delivery areas, phone or email the team before you order.
