6 Best Snack Subscription Boxes (2022): Universal Yums, MunchPak, Bokksu

I love snacks. I'm a grazer—someone who likes to eat small amounts of things throughout the day, so I usually have a hodgepodge of various foods scattered throughout my home. I'm not picky. I'll try sweet, savory, salty, or spicy. But I do get bored quickly. Aside from a few old standbys, I'm always on the hunt for new things to try. Combine that with recurring waves of coronavirus variants that prevent me from going out and leisurely scouring shelves in the grocery store, and my already-snacky disposition turned into what one could call a full-fledged snack attack.

Enter snack box subscriptions: For a recurring fee, you can get a package of goodies delivered to your door every month. But which snack boxes are worth your money? Which one gets you the most bang for your buck? Which will best fulfill your hankering for something tasty? I, and my tastebuds, did the research for you. Here are my favorites (and ones to avoid).

    Universal Yums Snack Box

    Stuck on which box to get? Make it this one. Universal Yums has small, medium, and large boxes, with snacks arriving from a different country each month. My first box was filled with goodies from France, and it came with a booklet packed with information on the snacks, games, trivia, and more. It's a really good option for snackers with kids, though if you're kidless it's still nice to read through the booklet while you're munching. My France-themed box came with these strawberry candies that changed my life (and thankfully, you can order them or any other snacks à la carte). The prices are palatable too—the smallest box costs $17 per month, or $15 per month if you purchase annually.

    Best for Meat Eaters

    Carnivore Club Snack Box

    Carnivore Club snack boxes are all about the jerky. You might get classic options like beef jerky, but other possible additions include things like turkey jerky and venison sticks. Flavors run the gamut. My box had everything from serrano pepper to maple barbecue, but past boxes have included chipotle lime, sesame teriyaki, and so much more. This box has good value; despite the shipping fees, you'll still save cash in the long run if you're frequently buying $10 bags of jerky at the store. And you have options to choose from, like buying a box every other month or every three months instead of monthly. There's also a $40 Classic Box you can get, which includes four to six premium cured meats, from prosciutto to bacon, and more.

    Best for Custom Quantities

    MunchPak Snack Box

    MunchPak lets you choose how many items you get per month. You can opt for a minimum of five snacks, which is smaller than the smallest size most other services offer, but 10+ and 20+ snack sizes are available as well. That makes it a good option for solo snackers (you lucky ducks) or big families where a few snacks just won't be enough to feel satisfied.

    This service also has a smartphone app that lets you see your snacking history, so if a few months down the road you find yourself craving “that one crunchy thing from that one snack box,” you'll be able to look back and see exactly what it was. MunchPak ships treats from various countries too. Ever wanted to try Wasabi Cheese Cheetos? This box can make it happen—but be warned, you will not be able to stop eating them.
