Confections from Heaven
I received the most delicious box in the mail last week. Oh yes, delicious! It was from Maureen over at Simply Heaven Lollipop Shoppe, and it was filled to the brim with delectable treats!
First I have to talk about the packaging – no, it’s worth it! We opened the box to find a beautiful tissue-paper wrapped bundle of confections. Each individual lollipop was wrapped in plastic and tied with a pink ribbon. It just looked beautiful!
I know what you are thinking… lollipops? Aren’t those for kids? Well, yes. But what is to keep adults from enjoying them too? Is it the stick that hangs out of your mouth? Have no fear! She also offers Lolli Drops for those who are still a kid at heart!
The Lolli Drops come in a small tin that will stash away in your purse and can be slipped into your mouth for a sweet treat anytime – without the telltale lollipop stick hanging out!
We received a tin of peppermint drops (which my 6 year old loved – and tried to steal!) and an assortment of lollipops including peach, key lime, strawberry, banana, cheesecake and lavender. I can personally attest that they are all yummy!
However, the lollipops aren’t even the tip of the iceberg! The first thing I opened when the box arrived (after the box, of course) was the pretty pink box of Kona Mocha Roca. I smelled it as soon as the shipping box was opened, and it smells divine!
I have to give a little personal background… I grew up in a town that held the headquarters for Enstrom’s World Famous Almond Toffee (given widely at Christmas – you always get at least 1 box!) and my in-law’s live down near the headquarters for Almond Roca candies, so when I tell you that this roca was some of the best toffee I have ever had, you can understand where I am coming from.
The Kona Mocha Roca is creamy and smooth with a layer of rich, dark chocolate on the top. WOW! Personally, I loved the fact that it was NOT covered in a layer of chopped nuts – they would have distracted from the creamy smoothness of the toffee. If you like toffee, you MUST visit Maureen!
I have saved the best for last though. Tucked in the bottom of the box was a package of biscotti. This is not your typical skinny, almond filled stuff either, oh no! This was Maureen’s Chocolate Lover’s Biscotti enrobed in dark chocolate! Seriously, these cookies from heaven are over 6 inches long and 1.5 inches wide! They are HUGE! I split the first one with my hubby, and we both felt that we were getting a good share.
These chocolate biscotti cookies are covered in chocolate – not a half dunk in chocolate either! This biscotti is covered in chocolate.
Maureen offers you a choice of dark or milk chocolate (as most people either like one or the other) and I will tell you that if you or someone you know loves chocolate, the Chocolate Lover’s Biscotti was created for them!
If you are looking for a tasty treat to give as a gift, or you are looking for a treat to use as a incentive for your kids, you need to click over to Simply Heaven Lollipop Shoppe! You will want to get a little something for yourself too – trust me! Otherwise the gift you are purchasing just might not make it out of your house!
