Product review: Prime Surprise Sweets Dash Button

I received an invite for the Prime Surprise Sweets Dash Button from Amazon and thought I’d give it a try and then share what the box was like in case you’re curious.

The basics:
The Prime Surprise Sweets is exclusively for Prime members and by invite only. You can request and invitation by clicking in the button below.



The dash button costs $4.99 and then you connect with it your Wi-Fi and push the button whenever you want a new box of treats. The $4.99 credit is applied to your first Surprise box.

Each Surprise Sweets box costs $18 delivered with free two day shipping and is filled with small-batch, artisan crafted treats. And it’s a surprise – so you won’t know in advance what you’ll be getting there is no way to manage dietary restrictions.

In other words - you get what they send you.

You can click the button for a new box anytime you’d like. Every day – once a month – once every few months…you get the idea.

So here’s what was in my first box:

The dash button comes first and you need to connect it to your Wi-fi – then push the button for your first order!



Box opening!





My first box came with four treats and a has a sheet that explains all the products and the history of the companies whose products are included in your box. I really liked that touch. Websites are included so you can check them out further.

Here’s what I got:

Cape Whoopies – chocolate chip vanilla whoopie pie.

Verdict – delish! The cake was soft and moist – didn’t crumble and the cream filling was yummy. Tasted and had a feel a bit more like marshmallow than cream.

big picture farm – raspberry rhubarb caramels.

Verdict – I LOVE caramels and these were sooooog good. Soft and creamy with just a hint of fruity flavor. My favorite treat from this box. I think I’ll be ordering more things from them after looking at their website.

Albina city nuts – candied pecans

Verdict: I'm not a huge fan of candied fruit or nuts (or pecans) but these were pretty good. Not overly sweet with a very mild salty taste. While these weren’t the right fit for me – I would be interested in trying something else by them because the quality was still excellent.

Grey Ghost Bakery – chocolate chip cookies

Verdict: I’m super picky about chocolate chip cookies and these just tasted average to me. Kevin thought they were too sweet and that might be due to the added crunchy sugar sprinkled on top. They weren’t bad but not anything I would go out of my way to order for myself or as a gift.

Final Surprise Box verdict:

Pros: Well, I really like surprises and I love to eat so that was fun! lol

The quailty and variety of the products was excellent.

The portions were pretty good. Only one whoopie pie but it was large, the cookies, caramels and pecans were all full size and several servings.

Cons: The cost. At $18 this isn’t something I would get every often. I guess it’s comparable to other snack boxes – my Graze snack boxes are $13.99 per box and the Surprise boxes are more “gourmet” so would cost more. There is also the one time cost of the dash button – but it is applied to your first order.

These are NOT healthy snacks. They’re for indulging. Not a bad thing but maybe not a good thing for your waistline.

No way to limit ingredients. I would expect that to be a big problem/limiting factor for a lot of people.

You need to have a Prime subscription to even be invited.

I think I’ll probably get a box every few months when I feel like I deserve a treat! I liked the variety and the quality and it’s super easy to order.

So thumbs up for me!
