Their name is similar to the Nilla Wafers we grew up with (which will always be a comfort food to me because they remind me of munching on them at my Nona's house as a child) but they are quite different. For one thing, like I mentioned in my last post, NatureBox never uses artificial flavors, colors or sweeteners, corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, or MSG. We can look at the ingredients on the bag of Vanilla Bean Wafers to see for ourselves.
My photo turned out a little blurry, but you can get the gist of it. They even use real vanilla beans!
Here is yet another blurry picture, but you can see that these Vanilla Bean Wafers are smaller than regular Nilla Wafers. They are also not as perfectly smooth. When I bit into it, I found that the texture was also different. It was much more crumbly and buttery, almost seeming to melt in my mouth. It had a sweet, satisfying, unmistakably vanilla taste.
One sometimes frustrating thing about NatureBox is that they don't always have the same snacks available from month to month. For example, I ordered Vanilla Bean Wafers in December, but now they are no where to be seen on the website. So if you find something you love, you should order a whole bunch of them, because you never know when you'll get your hands on them again! I ordered quite a few of these little bags of Vanilla Bean Wafers, and hopefully NatureBox will get them in stock again.
