Soft, Sweet and OH SO Freakin' Good

I say let the gourmet marshmallow wars begin! I've posted before on gourmet marshmallows that I bought from Have It Sweet Confections. Having tried and loved them (and am now sickened if I eat those white store bought things), I decided to give another Etsian purveyor or soft things a try.

I ordered from Softly Sweetly and was very very happy with what I got. I ordered a trio of flavors (which you can order yourself and try 3 different flavors or even the dozen variety where you get 12 different flavors) and got Triple Chocolate, Vanilla and Toasted Coconut drizzled with chocolate. There's like 20 or so flavors to choose from so you won't be bored. I'm on my second trio of flavors right now: Toasted Coconut with chocolate (again cause they were that good), Amaretto and Mexican Chocolate (think chocolate marshmallow coated in a mix of sugar, cocoa and cinnamon). These are huge squares of marshmallows and the flavor is just that good. They are so soft, the texture is great that they practically melt in your mouth! The trio of flavors will run you $10.99 for one dozen plus about $5 shipping.

A dozen marshmallows range in price (depending on the flavor I think) between $9.99 and $10.99. You can also get a half dozen for less than $6.

I must say the Triple Chocolate and the coconut ones are my favorite but I've only tried 5 flavors as of yet. There's also these Caramallows that are marshmallows coated in caramel..must try those soon.

All in all, these are huge, great tasting marshmallows for the price. And, turn around time is really quick so you won't be left waiting. I highly recommend, if you even like marshmallows, to give any of the gourmet marshmallows a try, you won't be disappointed.

New Candy Addiction!

I've always liked those 3 Musketeers bars. They're just good and have less fat than other candy bars (but I don't care lol).

Recently I made a wonderful discovery! I saw a 3 Musketeers MINT bar..yep MINT. So it's that wonderful fluffy filling but in this very light Mint flavor covered in DARK CHOCOLATE! I'm a sucker for any chocolate-mint concoction and I'll always try it at least once. But, I think I'm on my 10th 3 Musketeers mint bar now and have about 4 more in my upstairs secret chocolate stash location.

The mint flavor is perfect..not too strong and not too weak and it's not a fakey mint flavor..it's great. Then it's covered in a nice layer of dark chocolate. So the whole taste is very smooth and mellow but very very good.

Instead of the usual one large thick candy bar..this one is split into two smaller versions and thinner. I'm hoping that there's a King Size or at least a "regular" size version coming out soon. For 69 cents a piece I need more BAR man. But, it's well worth the 69 cents and I'll pay it no problem..at least until the husband notices a large increase in 69 cent items being purchased.

I hope that the Mars company keeps this one on the store shelves. This is perhaps one of the best new candy bars to come out in a very long time...at least in my opinion.

Do you love chocolate????

If you're anything like me then you love chocolate. I absolutely have to have a secret stash of it in my house. I basically think and dream in chocolate, it's an obsession really. Now, I can smell like chocolate any time I want to!

How you might ask? Well, I've got a great new moisturizer from Bidwell Botanicals called Hydrating Body Milk in Chocolate Truffle! I had been eyeing some things from Bidwell Botanicals during the Happily Handmade Giveaway (which I didn't win anything again *sigh*). And, most recently Rare Bird Finds features Jill's Chocolate Obsession Gift Box (pictured left here).

So, I got my hands on a bottle of the Hydrating Body Milk cause, well, I am a lotionaholic (yes and I don't want an intervention or anything thank you) and I can ALWAYS use more!! This stuff just flows like silk on the skin and the smell is just out of this world. I actually thought about eating my hand off because it smells so good. And, I'm not talking about a Hershey Bar kinda chocolate here..I'm talking like a Dove bar or even a piece of Godiva milk chocolate. It's a really high quality chocolate scent. It's a really good lotion and a excellent fragrance. I went to have lunch with my son at school yesterday and before I left I used it on my hands. Every adult I came in contact with was asking who's got the chocolate? It's that good!
There are 7 other fragrances you can get the lotion in, including Spun Sugar. A 4 ounce bottle runs for $11 and it is a very good lotion.
