NEW! Andes Creme de Menthe cookies for the holidays!


I grabbed these the second I saw them at Walgreens- they look so delicious! Then I also had the Cool Mint Oreos at home and did a little taste test- they are actually quite similar in taste. The Andes cookies have a very nice thick layer of chocolate and their signature green creamy mint all wrapped around a chocolate cookie. And the Oreos are Double Stuf so they have plenty of Cool Mint creme and that dark chocolate cookie too....I am quite thrilled with both and highly recommend both! Creme de Menthe would be an elegant gift too.....

NEW! Nestle Toll House Chocolate filled cookies!!


Oh my, these are decadent. This is any choco-lovers dream right here- Nestle choc chip cookies baked with chocolate or caramel filling inside! Its an ooey-gooey delight that is only made slightly better by rolling the dough in nuts too- cashews, peanuts, or almonds taste great. Also it helps to sprinkle a little salt on them before baking- they are just SO sweet it helps balance a little. Overall- amazing! Thanx Nestle! (and good job bouncing back from that recall....)

Halloween M&Ms and Chips Ahoy!



Happy Halloween- here are some fun treats that celebrate the season. My M&M collection has grown quite large over the years- and every year they change the packaging! So fun.....and here are chocolate Covered candy corn too- really tasty.

NEW! Strawberried Peanut Butter M&Ms!!


Wow, these are actually REALLY good- they are the same as the ones put out for the Transformers Movie promo (see earlier post) but with VERY cool new fun packaging! Love the stripes! Found these only at Walmart so far, hopefully more stores will get them and they will last awhile...the pieces are much bigger than regular M&Ms, and they have a wonderful P-butter middle and strawberry flavored choco with the candy shell... sound weird at first but trust me- yummy!

NEW! Fudgey Chips Ahoy and Oreos!


Wow, fudge is having a really good month- both Chips Ahoy and Oreo have new cookies featuring it! Here's Fudge Bites and Fudge Sunday Creme- both delicious of course, but my favorite is definitly the Oreos- hard to describe the taste other than rich and creamy and ice-creamy tasting. The Fudge bites are good, but just not that spectacular. I would buy Chunky Chips Ahoy again before these.....and lots more boxes of Fudge Sunday Oreos!

Chocolates of the World- Guatemala!


My groovy globe trotting friend Adriana brought me this high quality dark & milk chocolate from Guatemala- its actually made there, although I dont know if all the ingredients are grown there. It is very pure too- with REAL cocoa butter, cocoa liquor, real milk and real vanilla. Im very impressed with the quality and taste, thank you SOOOO much Adriana! You're the best.....

NEW- Coconut M&Ms!!!


Oh my, this is a BIG deal for coconut lovers- and they are so good! Tastes a lot like Mounds actually. They are bigger than normal M&Ms, and I was a little disappointed that they didn't make them look like little coconuts inside with choc shell and white coconut flavored choc inside- that would have been fun. But its just all regular choc color and really tasty- very cool Limited Edition with great packaging. Odd that I have seen no TV or magazine ads for these at all- where is the advertising push? and only saw them in one store....wierd.
