After the new products we tried from the June Degustabox I couldn’t wait for our July box to arrive. I love delving into a subscription box and discovering what goodies are inside for me to try! The July Degustabox seemed to be centred around summery drinks with a few treats and of course healthier products to enjoy too. So what was inside the July Degustabox?
Brownies are one of my favourite cakey treats, but I do also love some rocky road. What’s not to love about chocolate, biscuits, cherries, and marshmallows? Yum! So when Wyke Farms sent me some of their butter to try, I knew just the recipe I had in mind – these rocky road brownies. They have the gooeyness (is that even a word? It is now) of a brownie but with the crunch of biscuit too, then the obligatory cherry and marshmallow. As the biscuit is baked within the mixture, it smells divinely caramelised just out of the oven too!
In our house it is mostly me that reads books to the boys, even at bed time. We will also take some time out during the day though to sit down and read, especially when they are getting a little boisterous!

I have to admit, I almost jumped for joy when I was asked if I would like to try the Degustabox …
So another month has passed in a blur – where does the time go?! It doesn’t feel like summer as it’s supposed to be. Due to the horrendous weather, we have spent more time indoors than outdoors in the last month. On the few sunny days we have had, though, we have enjoyed ourselves outside doing some things featured in our favourite five for June 🙂 (Though I am a little late as I haven’t had any motivation recently, or I’ve been super tired – both have probably gone hand in hand actually!).
