I love the Chocolate goodies at the Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, and appreciate cute stuffed animals, but it’s time to lose or replace the bear. Do all the stores have one? They’re a mess — At least the ones I’ve seen in California. They are sadly stained, faded and weathered. It can’t be good to bring them in and out of the nice stores. How about replacing them at least?
Aside from the bear, they offer an excellent variety of Chocolate and fresh Caramel Apples. I understand it might be hard to give the bear the boot — It was tough to say goodbye to my stuffed animals. 🙂
These are the “Delightful Surprise Clusters” I created for a Recipe Contest sponsored by Quaker Oats and Foodbuzz. They’re made with Dark Chocolate and offer many delightful surprises inside, Cashews, Almonds, Macadamia Nuts, Toasted Coconut, Dried Cherries, Orange Flavored Dried Cranberries and Banana Chips. All is topped with swirled White Chocolate. My office appears to be loving ’em — That’s good. They’re Gourmet Nut Clusters!
If you love more than one on Valentine’s Day, it’s a good idea to make your own GOODIES. It’s fun and should cost less. HERE we packed small boxes with homemade White Chocolate and Crushed Cherry Life Savers molded into Lips & Hearts, White Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies, Milk Chocolate Dipped Graham Crackers, and more White Chocolate Cherry Life Saver Bark — It’s a color fitting and tasty combination.
The Best Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies are made by Princess Loretta. She’s the one in the middle with the floating Cookie Tiara. Her baked goods are much appreciated by her friends, family, clients, and expanding outward. And her Cookies are magically better than any we’ve purchased. She uses the best Chocolate for her Oreos. That’s just one reason why I’m lucky to be one of her best friends. And since Valentine’s Day is coming up, she made White Chocolate Dipped Oreos with red stripes. Everything she makes somehow tastes extra good. Cookies, Cakes and Candies are her forté, after training clients in her Huntington Beach Pilate’s Studio.
This day a group of us happily got together to decorate Valentine’s Cookies, and take home pretty boxes of Chocolate Dipped Oreo Cookies, White Chocolate Cherry Kisses and more. The decorated Cookies will be posted and linked soon. Gracias Loretta – It’s always a great time!
SPECIAL NOTE: If you’re local (Orange County) and want your own Chocolate Dipped Oreos by Loretta, please tell Nibbles of Tidbits HERE in a comment. More Chocolate Dipped Oreos: http://www.ineedtext.com/FoodBlog/?p=1247
I walked into the office the other day and thought someone had brought in the makings for a Mojito. Wishful thinking I guess. It smelled like fresh cut Mint, so I asked, “Where’s the Mint?” Instead it was this Gum. A co-worker was chewing it. This Trident Passionberry Twist doesn’t have your typical Mint Gum scent, but one of the live Herb. I’m not much of a Gum chewer, but had to try a piece. The Mint scent was a little stronger than the flavor, but I secondly appreciated the Passion Fruit flavor. It’s GOOD Gum – HA.
The post title was inspired by an old SNL sketch that used to crack me up. It’s so dumb that it’s funny. Below is a very short excerpt of it:
Decorating Christmas Cookies is one of our new traditions, thanks to my great friend, Loretta, who makes all the goods. As previously reported, the rest of us simply show up to decorate, eat and take home our works of art.
Not only do we get to take home our Cookies, but on this occasion we enjoyed, White, Milk and Dark Chocolate dipped Oreo Cookies, Milk Chocolate dipped Graham Crackers, and White Chocolate Peppermint Bark and molded cottages. As you can see, all look so professional.
The cellophane bags magically turn our labors into gifts. My office enjoyed much of the above. Thanks to my wonderful friends for the laughs and goodies. And Merry Christmas to ALL!

Happy Holidays! This is a yummy gift and indulgence. See’s Box of Truffles has great flavors and its price isn’t bad. I especially like the Pineapple Truffle — It was a tasty surprise. All flavors are noted and shown below from back to front (L-R), if you can follow along. It’ll help you decide which one to pick. 🙂
