Blogmas Day 11: Stocking Stuffer Sunday- The Sweet Tooth!

So here are my favorite candies... these are mostly seasonal and just very giftable things. Some of them might not fit in stockings, but they might be a good host gift or a gift for a teacher or something along those lines... so yeah! Let's just get right to it!

First off... and probably my favorite is the Chocolate Cherry Kisses. These are so yummy! I love chocolate cherries and anything with a cherry flavoring. These are my absolute favorite. I love the chocolate that is in kisses also and its just such a yummy yummy candy. I love them!

Speaking of kisses, the new Kisses Deluxe are really nice too. You can usually get them in a box or in little packs of 3... they aren't the cheapest... but they are a more affordable gift if you're looking for one!

Also if you're looking for a host or hostess gift... if you have a local candy store that you like, I would get something from there. There are sooo many good ones in New Jersey. My personal favorite is Jean Louise in Spring Lake... but really you can't go wrong anywhere around here. These are more splurgy chocolates... but if you need something even for like your in laws or anything like that... that is a great gift.

Chocolate Turtles are always super yummy! Those are my go-tos from the grocery store... I just really like them.

Ferro Rocher's. These are like the Deluxe Kisses, but they are a little different and still really yummy. These are just fancy though. So if you put Ferro Rocher's in a stocking you're like "Ohhh you fancy, huh?"

Lindor truffles and Ghiridelli chocolate speaking of fancy! I just listened to the Dis Unplugged Podcast and one of the hosts of that says that the extra gift for finding the pickle on the tree was a bag of Lindor Truffles and that is a really nice tradition of his that he still loves.

If you can find any Pre- Brexit Toblerones... lol. JK Toblerone's are still yummy even if they are really ripping you off now.

Chocolate Oranges or Raspberry's from Terry's/ Terrie's are always really really yummy.

And my mom got me one this year from Seattle's Chocolates. And it was a really good candy bar. It was Dark Chocolate Toffee... so yummy.

I could probably think of several more chocolates... but I'm going to move onto cookies. Lol.

Pepperidge Farms has some amazing cookies for Christmas. The Linzer cookies, snowball cookies. They have Gingerman, Sugar and Chessmen cookies all year long... but they are better at christmas. Milano cookies are always amazing! There is a lot to choose from and a lot of really good stuff. The gingerbread family cookies are really really good.

Ritz Crackers has Chocolate Covered crackers that are really yummy! I like them a lot. It sounds weird, but it is delicious.

Also Chocolate covered pretzels, White chocolate pretzels... Peppermint Bark pretzels... all amazing, especially around the holidays!

I hope this was helpful! I love all these candies and cookies.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...
