Treat: Valentine's Nerds

2020/02/14: Sure Valentine's Day is filled with sweet chocolate and romantic words, but one of my favorites still has to be the Nerds candies. Crunchy, Tangy and a whole bunch of little bits in each mini box... sure to make a huge mess when spilled. (These were previously Wonka/Nestle but the brand is now owned by Ferrero, the makrers of Nutella and Kinder Eggs.)

Fast Food: Fortune Cookies (Panda Express)

2020/02/28: These are a fun treat after a quick meal. The fortune or quote inside, much like a horoscope, is not specific but amusing to share. One interesting part is the nutritional values differed on the packaging and website. 

Treat: Valentine's SweeTart Ropes, Cherry Punch

2020/02/14: Sweet and chewy with a tangy chalk like goo in the center make for a tooth ache wrapped in a fun treat. These are a mix of textures and flavors that hit the sweet and sour notes fairly well. A small portion for a Valentine's dose of sugar; the package has two mini ropes, perfect for sharing. (The stickers made it even more fun!)

Treat: Wendy's Chocolate Frosty

2019/11/03: These are cold chocolate treats that go down smooth after a spicy chicken sandwich, bowl of chili or a bacon cheeseburger. I have been told that Wendy's French Fries taste great when dipped in a Chocolate Frosty.

Treat: Snowman Cookie (Starbucks)

2019/11/30: These are some of the best cookies! They are perfect for dunking in Hot Chocolate or Coffee, but beware as they are high in Calories, Fat and Carbohydrates. I suggest sharing one with a friend over coffee... or maybe some Mint M&Ms?

Cereal: Frosted Flakes (Kellogg's)

2020/01/23: Frosted Flakes are a great Treat or weekend Breakfast Cereal with a sweet flavor and delicious crunch. Don't wait long too long after topping it with Milk, your wonderful bowl of crispy goodness will turn to mush in a matter of minutes! This is a great choice for those midnight snacks!

Treat: Ferreeo Roche

2019/12/25: These are a nice and light Chocolate treat with a little Hazelnut mixed in for good measure. Good for dessert, a treat or even a White Elephant Gift.

Treat: KEX Cookies (IKEA)

2019/12/18: Perfect little Shortbread Cookies for dunking in tea or Hot Chocolate. Well maybe they are not truly Shortbread but they are great addition to any warm beverage.

Treat: Spice Drops (Zachary)

2019/12/01: The gummy texture, sweetness and mint flavor make them a sought after treat during the holidays.

Treat: Andes Chocolate Mints

2019/12/13: These are a great after dinner mint. Creamy chocolate and a smooth mint flavor to ease the stomach after a nice meal. Plus this package already had the gift tag printed on front.

Treat: Cinnamon Roll: MiniBon Roll (Cinnabon)

2019/12/24: A delicious treat for the holidays, which many families enjoy. The line was an hour long, but the filling sweetness was well worth the wait! (We had one as soon as we got home)

Treat: Milk Chocolates, Advent Calendar 2019 (Trader Joe's)

2019/12/01: The start of Advent and the patient waiting for Christmas is easier with a little treat to brighten the day. This calendar from Trader Joe's has a fun Elf Name Game on the back. 

Treat: Hot Cocoa Cakebites (Elf on the Shelf)

2019/11/28: These are a fun treat that is great to share. The box has 4 Packages and each Package has 3 Cookies. The picture below shows one Cookie in the tray from the Package.

Treat: Ice Cream Sandwich - Pumpkin Pie (Kroger)

2019/11/27: Who doesn't love ice cream on a cold winter night? Throw in some Pumpkin Pie and it's a great mixed up treat on Thanksgiving eve. 

Treat: Oreos (Winter Designs with Red Colored Creme)

2019/11/23: Great treat to be paired with a cold glass of milk. (It may be just me, but I feel that these Oreos soak up Milk faster than the regular ones.)

Treat: Red Vines (Red Licorice Twists)

2019/11/21: Coming in second to Popcorn for best Movie Treat: Red Vines. They are easy to share, good for Lightsaber battles or to use in place of paper/plastic straws.

Treat: Perfectly Pumpkin Cupcakes (Pillsbury Premium Cake Mix)

2019/11/17: Fun to bake and delicious to enjoy, but it is not always easy to accurately account for the nutritional content. So in this post the ingredients are listed and the results recorded for good measure. The mean, median and mode from elementary math classes finally make sense!
