Seriously, that’s what these new Chex Mix® Bars are like.  A big party!  Caramel-covered Corn Chex® pieces, Wheat Chex® pieces, chocolate, peanuts and pretzels.  All in one bite!  I (virtually) had to beat my family off with a stick in order to get any of them to actually try for myself. lol   They even have 4g of fiber and 8 grams of whole grain per serving, so they’re even good for you.  With only 150 calories, they taste a lot more decadent than just 150 calories.

It really is just pure decadence.  We all need a little chocolate in our lives, afterall.

Chex Mix Bars come in 2 varieties – turtle (the one I tried) and chocolate chunk.  Hard choice, I know, right? LOL

Even better was that when I agreed to check them out, they came in this beautiful Indulgence Bath set!

What’s even better is that I have not 1, not 2, but THREE of them to give away!    They come with chocolate candles, caramel body lotion, massager, nail brush, loofah, towel and A BOX OF Caramel Chex Mix Bars!  Woohoo!

I’m a chocoholic.

There, I’ve said it.  Fortunately, I’m not alone with my addiction. I’ll bet at least a few of you reading this are chocoholics too.  Yeah, I see you nodding your heads.  It’s good to be in good company.  But, something else I have to admit to is I’m a chocolate snob.

That’s right – a chocolate SNOB.  I don’t like cheap chocolate.  There’s very few kinds of chocolate that I actually enjoy.  With my first taste of GOOD chocolate, I realized how much I’d been missing!

So, with those 2 admissions being out there now, can you guess how I reacted when Mom Central asked if I wanted to review Ghiradelli’s new Luxe Milk chocolate bars.  Premium chocolate bar review. . . nahhhh, sorry – not interested.

HA!!!

So, those super women at Mom Central sent me ALL FIVE FLAVORS – my children swarmed me like bees to honey, and tried … TRIED… to rifle the chocolate from me.  It wasn’t pretty.

Ok, so anyway  – after we were done wrestling around on the floor, and they limped back to their rooms, defeated, I sat down and actually read the packaging, went to the website and read about them – and I swear, I did NOT eat them all (at once).

luxe_bar_duet Ghiradelli Chocolate uses premium chocolate and combines them with all natural ingredients to produce such goodness as Luxe Milk Almond, Luxe Milk Hazelnut, Luxe Milk Milk (milk chocolate, not *milk* LOL), Luxe Milk Crisp, and my personal favorite,  Luxe Milk Duet – a combination of milk AND dark chocolate in every bite.  It is heavenly!

Ghiradelli’s new Luxe Milk bars are currently available at your local Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Borders and Linens & Things.  Soon, they’ll be available at Target, Blockbuster and Cost Plus locations.   I am hoping to find at least 1 or 2 (cases) in my Christmas stocking this season!


My SPECIAL thanks to Mom Central for allowing me this opportunity!

pillsbury_doughboy Pillsbury has a long standing tradition of quality in my book.  I know that when I buy a Pillsbury product, I *know* that I can count it to be GOOD.

Pillsbury’s new Savorings Flaky Pastry Bites is no exception.  They’re new and let me tell you, they’re DELICIOUS. LOL

I found them in the frozen section, right where all the other hors d’oeuvres type of snacks & whatnot.  Our store only carries 2 of the 3 varieties that they come in, so I chose buffalo style chicken over the mozzarella and pepperoni.  I wish they’d had the spinach & cheese variety, because that just sounds SO yummy too. So the photo above is of the buffalo chicken variety.  I baked them as directed, on a sprayed, foiled sheet and (begrudgingly) let them cool a bit.

They are 1 inch square before you bake them, and they plumped up just like a Pillsbury item would.  The bottoms got brown and crunchy and the tops were crisp.  The flavor was excellent.  The chicken, apparently minced, was a bit too small for me but the buffalo flavor was just right. Not too spicy, just delicious.  I asked hubby his opinion, as he doesn’t like very hot/spicy stuff, and he really liked them – in fact, he ate the rest. (the brat)

Pillsbury Savorings come 12 to a package – the box indicates that there’s 3 to a serving – and I suppose in a civilized house, that might be so LOL  However, hub & I ate the box – poof, all gone.  They were that good. :)

When you visit Pillsbury’s site, you can print out a $1 coupon for your own box (or 5) of Pillsbury Savorings, too!


My thanks to Coyne PR for the opportunity to review these Pillsbury Savorings!

Do you or your family suffer from allergies?  I know we do.  Not just the typical Autumn allergies as the leaves fall and the mold spores are everywhere.  I also have problems in the house.  I just found out about this new Clorox Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric spray that I can spray directly on to the fabrics in my house to help reduce the irritants that get us all sneezing.

As soon as I received it, I sprayed it on Anthony’s mattress after I’d stripped the sheets. He’s always having problems with allergies if anyone’s been in there jumping on his bed, because the mattress is ollllld.  After I sprayed it, I let it dry and put the sheets back on before bed.  He hasn’t had a sneezy problem since.

After I saw the difference it had made in his room, I went around the house spraying the couch and curtains – things that I don’t typically vacuum.  It’s made such a big difference!  My 2nd favorite part? It is fragrance free!  I’m VERY sensitive to stinky stuff so the fact that it’s NOT stinky (or perfumed or whatever) is great for me AND my kids.  Yay!


My thanks to Mom Central for allowing me to share the news of Clorox Anywhere® Anti-Allergen Fabric spray with you!
