Graze.com
So a few weeks ago I asked if anyone had a graze.com invite code. One of you obliged (and I am ungrateful enough and sleepy enough not to go back and look for who it was at the moment, but: THANK YOU!).
Graze.com is a snacks-by-mail service: you sign up, give them some preferences, if you have any, and you get a small box containing 4 snacks mailed to you on a set schedule (each week, each 2 weeks, or each 4 weeks). Cost $5/box, and you can rate the snacks Trash, Try, Like, and Love to regulate the frequency with which it comes. But there's lots and lots of variety.
Anyway, we're on the every-2-weeks schedule, and we've now had our second box. Links lead to the page for that box (yes, there's social media! woo!). If you click on a snack on that page, a window will open up that gives you more info about it, and which has a link in the upper left for nutrition. You can also get a nibblebox, which will contain any of their snacks (barring ones you've told them you're allergic to, or that you don't like), and there's a lightbox variant, which contains snacks of 150 calories or less, if you're watching them. We've got the nibblebox, as we're sharing them all. :D
Box 1: billionaire's shortbread (contains no shortbread!), chili and lime pistachios, herby bread basket, and summer berry flapjack ('flapjacks' are closer to chewy granola bars in graze.com parlance). Love, like,love, and like, in that order.
Box 2: toffee apple, tutti frutti, bonnie wee oatbakes, and pear tatin. They're all Like except for the oatbakes, which are a sort of savory shortbread with red onion marmalade to dip, which we left on Try, because while we liked it enough to finish it, we really preferred other things more.
I have one (1) invite code: if you want one, just drop your name into a comment on LJ or DW and if there's more than one who wants it, tomorrow night I'll use random.org to pick someone at random and pass it on.ETA: The drawing will happen, although probably not tonight. ETA2: It's on for tonight! Woo-hoo!

Put me in for the drawing, please!

The snacks are about a handful or a little more, yes. The pictures on the website make them seem bigger, and I've found several photos on the site where they overfill the little containers they come in for the picture, to make it seem like more. In this one, for example, their food stylist has carefully posed everything, and overfilled the containers. The FAQ on box size for British customers says: and I think it's about that size on this side of the pond.
As for the snack containers themselves, Google Images to the rescue! You can get a rough idea of their size since you know the box size.

I keep seeing various people on my network (you're the first on my dwircle so far) to talk about it and it sounds intriguing.

Looks tasty but carb-heavy. *sigh*

ETA: Looking at the varieties of snacks on the UK site, perhaps after they expand their offerings here, there may be enough variety of more complex carbs that it might work, although I don't know if the differences are due to US shipping regulations or just starting smaller.
