Perfect way to start out your day!

I am a huge fan of breakfast, but I don't always have time to whip up a big one. When I do have a little bit of time, I like to pop some Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Swirl bread into the toaster! After it's lightly toasted, I like putting a thin layer of butter on top of it and drink it with a large glass of milk. It's the perfect treat to get my day started off on the right foot. Also, if I have a tad bit more time this bread is AMAZING for french toast. So, the next time you want to whip some up, try using cinnamon bread, because I doubt you'll ever go back to your boring wheat bread!

A Cool Pick-Me-Up

It's that time of year when the sun is hot and the weather is warm, causing you to want something cool and refreshing. When I'm looking for that certain treat to cool down with, it's Breyers Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream. It is absolutely delicious and isn't heavy at all, which is perfect for those hot spring days. I especially enjoy this ice cream, because most of the time you have to let ice cream thaw a few minutes before you can dig in, but with Breyers you can eat it right out of the freezer!

A Perfect Dessert

One of my favorite after dinner treats are cookies, especially fresh ones. I do not have the time to make cookies from scratch, so Pilsbury's Deluxe Chocolate Chip Cookies are the way to go! They only take about 14 minutes and come out warm, fresh, and ready to eat. You can also make as many as you want at a time, which is great. These cookies are the best thing ever, especially when you need a quick pick-me-up!

Nature's Candy

I LOVE strawberries! They're the perfect healthy treat to have for dessert with any meal. My favorite thing to do is cut them up and put just a sprinkle of sugar over them, although they're really good without the added sugar. So, the next time you want a healthy treat, cut up some strawberries to have with lunch or just as a snack!

Who knew?!

The other day I came across something awesome...Dark Chocolate M&M's!!! I'm not a huge fan of the milk chocolate or peanut ones, but to my surprise the dark chocolate one's were quite delicious. On the bright side, they're healthier for you, because they're dark chocolate. So, the next time you need a little treat, try dark chocolate M&M's, because they are DELICIOUS!

The PERFECT Mid Day Pick-Me-Up

Whenever I'm past the peak of my day and I need a little bit of a boost my favorite thing to reach for in the fridge is an ice cold PEPSI! I realize pop isn't necessarily the best thing for you, but to me there is nothing that is more refreshing and delicious as a can of Pepsi. It gives me that little jolt of energy I need to get through the rest of my day, while having the taste of perfection.

Favorite Weekend Treat!

In my opinion Breakfast is BY FAR the best meal of of the day! It not only gets you off on the right foot, but it also contains the most delicious choices. My favorite breakfast item to make and to eat is chocolate chip pancakes. They're pretty much the best thing EVERRRR! Considering I don't get up early enough to actually prepare pancakes during the week, I love to make them on the weekends. All you have to do is treat them like you would just regular pancakes, but after you've poured the batter onto your skillet add a few or a lot of chocolate chips on top of your cooking circles, and there you have it! The perfect pick-me-up to get your day started off right!

I love chocolate, but these are AWESOME!!!

If you have ever had the opportunity to eat a Panera, you are lucky! If you've ever had the chance to indulge in a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel, I think you're even luckier!!! These bagels are thee best thing to eat if you're craving something light and sweet. A Cinnamon Crunch Bagel is cinnamon and vanilla chips flavor in the dough, topped with a sweet, crunchy shell of cinnamon & sugar. So, the next time you want to try something different to start your day off right, head over to Panera and eat a Cinnamon Crunch Bagel. If you want to make it even more delicious add one of the scrumptious spreads.

Chocolate is good for you?!

The BEST!

Do you want to get fancy and creative? Try making chocolate fondue! It's probably one of the easiest and most delicious things you can make. All you need are some chocolate chips and whipping cream (found in your grocers dairy section)! If you add a few chocolate chips and some whipping cream over low heat on a stove, the chocolate and whipping cream combine into a delicious creamy substance. From there you can get anything to dip in it...strawberries, bananas, pound cake, or pretzels. Pretty much anything that tastes good with chocolate. It may sound a little complicated, but it's really quick and easy if you want to spice up your evening with a delicious dessert!

Surprise!

The other day I was shopping at Wal-Mart and I saw that they had their Easter candy aisle set up. Of course my curiosity set in, so I decided to take a gander at what they had. Well, I came across Reeses's Peanut Butter Cup Eggs. (Reeses's candy in the shape of an egg for Easter.) I love Reeses, but these were something totally different. I can't really describe how delicious they were, but if you have a chance to try one, please do so! I don't know if it's a little bit more peanut butter than the average Reese's or what, but it was definitely a sweet surprise!

Never Dissapointed!

I can't say enough great things about Thin Mint cookies. It is sad to think they can only be purchased at certain times during the year, when the Girl Scouts decide to let the public have them! BUT, these have always been a wonderful and delicious treat. They're fairly light and are a great dessert to have with a sandwich at lunch. They're especially delicious when you store them in the refrigerator it gives them that extra oomph of freshness! So, if you like cookies and like a chocolate and mint flavor, these are a great snack.

This Delicious Candy Makes My Heart Melt!!!

For Valentines day I was given a box of Fannie May Mint Meltaways from my boyfriend. At first I was skeptical, because you can't go wrong with Fannie May chocolate, but I had never had these before. Well...THEY WERE AWESOME! I couldn't believe I had gone so long without enjoying these delicious treats. They either have a hard mint shell with chocolate in the middle or a hard chocolate shell with mint in the middle. My favorite is of course the hard chocolate outer shell, his is the mint outer shell, so it worked out perfect for the both of us! I would highly recommend these to anyone who loves a chocolate/mint combo. It's a perfect little treat to sneak throughout the day without feeling guilty!

Need a Boost?

As you may already know Quaker makes granola bars, but what you may not know is that they make granola bars dipped in CHOCOLATE! When I discovered these scrumptious treats at the grocery store you can imagine what a pleasant surprise it was for me. With three flavors inside consisting of either, chocolate chip, peanut butter, or caramel nut; I was hooked. These are a great snack to hold you over until your next meal, whether that be from breakfast to lunch, or lunch to dinner, these are a great treat!

The Perfect Mid Day Pick-Me-Up

I have recently discovered the wonderful little chocolates made my Hershey's that are appropriately named "Bliss." They are perfect when you're craving a small amount of chocolate to get you through the day. However, I find it near impossible to eat just one!
