I got these Cherry Raisinets in my NCA pre-trade show goodie bag (get used to seeing that; it was a biiiig goodie bag). The press release describes them as “Montmorency Tart Cherries… drenched in rich Nestle Dark Chocolate”. The bag brags that they’re real fruit. I wish they’d chosen more realistic cherry images though; the [...]

Nestle‘s Cranberry Raisinets have been making the rounds in the candy review blogosphere lately (check out Candy Blog and Candy Addict). A PR rep sent me some free samples, three 100-calorie packs, to be precise, along with an offer that I think you, dear readers, will appreciate. But we’ll get into that in a bit. [...]

I’ve worked with Emily’s Chocolates several times before, and since they make solid, decent chocolate, I’m always happy to try their products. After a few shipping snafus, I finally received a generous sample box of their holiday goodies. Even though it’s now March, no worries; their holiday/seasonal wares are still available on their website. While [...]

Grace Jones had her head made in chocolate to promote her upcoming album. Meeting/eating a chocolate version of yourself – kind of creepy; kind of awesome. Also, the folks at Emily’s Chocolates would like you to know that today is National Chocolate Covered Anything Day. They make some good chocolate covered anythings and have informed [...]

Emily’s Chocolates makes goooood chocolate-covered cookies and fruits and nuts. They also make a chocolate covered fortune cookie that I’ve seen on the shelves of Walgreen’s but have yet to try. Right now they’re thinking ahead for the holidays and running a contest soliciting possible holiday fortunes to put inside their cookies. You don’t win [...]

Congratulations to….. Emily! (what a coincidence), the winner of my Emily’s Chocolates giveaway, courtesy of Emily’s Chocolates in honor of National Candy Month. She will be receiving a bunch of their goodies, and I will be jealous and bury my sorrows in tea and a scone, or something. If you’re curious, I used an online [...]

Don’t forget, y’all have until 5pm EST on Monday, June 9th to enter my Emily’s Chocolates giveaway, courtesy of Emily’s Chocolates. Leave a comment on this post for a chance to win. US readers only please (sorry to my international readers. I’m getting a taste of your frustration, as I can’t receive US samples while [...]

The folks at Emily’s Chocolates wanted me to remind you that June is National Candy Month. As if I needed such an excuse to eat candy. They also wanted to mail me samples of their chocolates to review, but since I’m abroad, I won’t be able to receive any of them. Fortunately for you, dear [...]

Dear Emily’s Chocolates, I am terribly sorry it took me so long to write this review. You were generous enough to mail me soooo many delicious chocolate covered things, and though I immediately got up a review of the cookies (OMG and ZOMG!), that was nearly two weeks ago, and I still haven’t written about [...]
