Snack Ingredients:
lime infused raisins, sponge pieces, mini meringues and green raisins
I received this snack in my February box from Graze.
Tea Suggestion:
When I eat pie, I like to sip on hot black tea. And even though this is a snack mix and not technically “pie” – I decided to brew myself a cup of Malty Assam Tea from Tea People. A really lovely pairing!
What I Think:
YUM! This might just be my favorite snack that I’ve gotten from Graze yet!
There are two different kinds of raisins: dark raisins that have been infused with lime, and green raisins. I don’t think I’ve ever seen “green raisins” before. They look like gold raisins to me, and taste like them. Sweet and plump. The lime infused raisins are my favorite of the two raisins though, I love the bright, citrus-y note they add to this snack mix.
The sponge … isn’t as sponge-y as I recall other ‘sponge’ from graze to be. These are actually crunchy … like a Nilla wafer. Tasty and they add a pie crust flavor to the mix.
I love the meringue! Crisp and light and airy!
This snack is fun to eat when I put one of each element into my hand and eat it all at once … it is very “key lime pie” ish! But I also enjoy popping each item into my mouth individually and exploring the flavors.
If I were to change anything about this particular snack, it would be to have more lime flavor to it. Maybe there could be some lime in the meringue bits or the cookie bits.
My Final Thoughts:
I “loved” this snack on my Graze account. I hope they send it to me again soon. I’d be happy to have it in every box.
