Corso's Cookies Skulltastic Cookie Bouquet Review




Magento Commerce
Disclosure: We received the below products in exchange for our honest review. All opinions and experiences are our own and may differ from yours. 

Corso's Cookies
 Corso's Cookies are made from a cookie recipe that they have perfected and each cookie is hand decorated. They understand that they are creating a special gift and do everything they can to ensure that you will be completely satisfied. Every Corso's Cookies is individually wrapped and protected to prevent damage to the cookie and work of art that was created on it. To ensure a safe journey for the cookies while they are on their way to you, they are packaged with extra cushioning, boxed and shipped across the country in perfect condition. 

Skulltastic Cookie Bouquet
 Corso's Cookies are soft, buttery shortbread cookies which are made with high-quality ingredients, baked fresh each and every day. They are made in the USA and hand decorated with tasty royal icing.  We received a 9 cookie arrangement of the Skulltastic Cookie Bouquet ($39.99ARV). 


These cookie bouquets come in 6 count and 9 count. The bouquet was perfect on her Monster High themed birthday party table and we received many comments on the bouquet. Jada enjoyed the appearance as well as the taste of her Skulltastic Cookies. I liked that the cookies were not all the same colors, the variation really helped to make each cookie pop with it's own uniqueness as well as each one being hand decorated. 

 


Jada being silly and trying to pretend that her cookie is a mask or her face. She opened one cookie and then decided she wanted a different color icing. Her and her friend TT greatly enjoyed making their cookies "talk" with each other before enjoying their first bites. Her two brothers and grandma also tried the cookies and everyone loved them.  


Oh just modeling with her Skulltastic Cookie from Corso's Cookies. If you love delicious, soft, buttery shortbread cookies you will love these cookie bouquets. Shortbread cookies are one of my absolute favorite cookies of all time! These were absolutely delicious and I can't wait to get another bouquet for Cade's birthday this summer. Originally I had assumed that these cookies were going to come on sticks that would be holding them up in the bouquet box base. I wasn't to fond of that thought so I was pleasantly surprised when we opened our package and they were not on sticks and the cookies were just taped in place.

Almondina® is the inspiring success story of a man whose great loves include both music and wonderful food. For generations his family loved his grandmother Dina’s most secret cookie, which she called Petit Gateau Sec. Yuval Zaliouk, an internationally known symphony conductor and gourmet chef, always had a special place in his heart (and stomach) for this exquisite, crispy wafer with the delicate flavor of roasted almonds and the natural sweetness of plump raisins.

This all-natural, crispy almond cookie has no cholesterol and no added fat, salt, or preservatives. It is wonderfully crunchy and does not have to be dipped. It is a delightful accompaniment for coffee, tea, soft cheeses and fine light wines. The rush to eliminate fat from gourmet foods too often has also eliminated most of the flavor, a fact which is in sharp contrast to this enticingly delicious cookie.

Since the introduction of the classic Original flavor, eight more distinctive variations have been introduced, all of which continue to be packed with roasted almonds. A recent innovation, Chocolate Cherry, combines the almonds with dark chocolate and plump cherries.

In 1968 Country Bob perfected the sauce of his dreams. After years of giving the sauce to friends and family he began to sell it in 1977. The reaction was overwhelming just as it is today. Almost everyone who tries Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce becomes a lifelong user. And why not, it is the perfect complement to practically any meal set on your table.

Rick's Comics


I told my wife that I'd like to be part of the celebration by contributing some of my prized possessions: comic books. Here's my package of four color wonderment:

Power Man and Iron Fist #72 [1981: Months before, Iron Fist's foe, Chaka, was imprisoned. Who has now taken on his identity? The new Chaka is murderous and without honor . . . the original [and repentant] Chaka begs his brother, and Power Man and Iron Fist, to stop the imposter.

Walt Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs [1987]: The magazine sized extra length adaptation of the Disney cartoon film classic, this golden anniversary edition includes a Snow White poster!

Spider-Man #1 [1990]: The hottest new comic of that year, written and drawn by Todd McFarlane, this comic had a total print run of around 6 million . . . which ultimately drove the value down, since it was in no sense rare. Well, a couple of the later printings are valuable, but this is the first printing, pretty common, but still . . . a cool bit of comics history and a nice Spider-Man cover [unless you dislike spiders, as Lois does, because the art includes about 3 dozen of them]. Sealed, bagged newsstand edition.

Mr. T and the T-Force #1 [1993]: Yes, that Mr. T, leading a group of youths determined to tackle "real problems of the streets" with cleverness, courage, and the inimitable awesomeness of Mr. T -- who had a heavy amount of input in the stories, and swore that his character would never use guns. Artwork by Neal Adams. Sealed, bagged edition, includes trading card.

Fun stuff for you. And for Lois, the joy of knowing that 4 more of my 3500+ comics are out of the house. Especially the one with all those spiders. Total estimated value: $10.00

Thanks to all the sponsors of the giveaway and all the bloggers who have helped to promote it!

Sweet Sally's Bakeshop Review & Giveaway US 8/6


Sweet Sally's was launched in 2008 by Sally Saltzbart Minier, a third generation baker who has been active in the kitchen ever since she was very young. As a young girl, Sally learned the mathematical concept of "fractions" by using measuring cups and was taught the basics by her grandma Gracie and her mom, Carrie. As a teenager, Sally held a part-time job at McDonald's, Freedman's Bakery and the Wellesley College candy store, where she also attended. After she graduated, she chose a career on Wall Street as a mortgage finance analyst, but her passion for food and hospitality stuck around. In the late 1980's the stock market took a dive, which is when Sally decided to change paths and pursue a career in the hotel business. She received her Masters Degree in Hospitality Management. Sally did return to Wall Street to manage dining service operations for companies such as Goldman Sachs and Lehman Brothers. In 2008, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt and that is when she decided to follow her "first love" and launched Sweet Sally's, which had been in development for over a decade.
"Sweet" Sally
Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies

Sweet Sally's Old Fashioned Chocolate Chip Cookies are packed full of semi-sweet chocolate chips and absolutely delicious! As you can tell from the photo above Dan and Cade were NOT even close enough to being patient and allowing me to take a picture of the packed full box of cookies we received. By the time I get to the box with my camera there were already 5 cookies gone! They both loved these cookies... as did I, but I only got to eat 2 of them. What a bunch of piggies, hey? These chocolate chip cookies were soft, but not melty or chewy. I was very pleased that they were not rock hard as some previous cookies we received from another baker were. That was disappointing, these were pleasantly pleasing to our taste buds! And of course because of how quick Cade was mowing down the cookies when we'd give him one here and there I was unable to get a picture of him enjoying it. I'm pretty sure most of them went in his mouth whole or with a single bite taken and then shoved the rest in. That would be my little boy, taking after daddy. 

These cookies are made with all natural ingredients such  as: flour, sugar, unsalted butter, eggs, sugar, brown sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, baking soda, kosher salt and Sally's Magic! They are available in a white bakery box with a count of 20 cookies for $18 or in a large tin with a count of 24 cookies for $23. You can also have them gift wrapped, oh how I'd love to received these delicious cookies as a gift! Hey, my birthday is coming up next month!

Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies!
Ezio and Cade shared the Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies packed full of delicious and healthy oats and raisins and then some. Ezio did not get any of the chocolate chip cookies as he is allergic to chocolate, but Sally was nice enough to send us these so Ezio could taste test her delicious cookies as well. Both of the boys loved them and due to their size, one usually lasted them through out the day as they would graze on it while playing or eat half and decide it was time to play. Toddlers just can't sit still. I probably had more of these then I did the chocolate chip cookies and I love them! Dan doesn't like oatmeal so the boys and I didn't have to worry about him eating these before we could... like the chocolate chip cookies.

These cookies are also made with all natural ingredients such as: flour, sugar, brown sugar, butter, baking soda, eggs, pure vanilla, cinnamon, salt, oats, raisins and again Sally's Magic! These delicious cookies come in a 6 pack in a "satchel" with a red ribbon tied around it for only $12.

Skeeter Snacks NUT FREE Cookies Review & Giveaway! US 3/27



Skeeter Snacks
 Skeeter is the only squirrel in the world with a nut allergy! All of his squirrel friends spend their entire day looking for nuts, hiding nuts and texting about nuts. Skeeter was feeling left out, so he decided to do something about it. He created a line of snacks that taste awesome and are safe for everyone who is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts! All of his squirrel friends loved his nut free snacks and they all had a snack to share, with no one feeling left out. 
Anytime you come across Skeeter on the package you will know that the yummy snack inside is totally nut-free and made in a facility that is also totally nut-free! Snacks, safe for everyone to enjoy.

Why Does Mami's 3 Little Monkeys Need Skeeter Snacks?
Cade, my two year old son is allergic to cashews. He never had cashews, but when tasted he did pop for cashews, his pediatrician told us to avoid all tree-nuts, but peanuts are still okay for him to eat. We took Cade in for allergy testing because he was having issues with the formula he was on for a little while as we tried to figure out if he was lactose intolerant like his Daddy and Nana. Turns out he is not lactose intolerant, but was having issues with the sunflower seed oil (or we're assuming) in the formulas causing tummy issues similar to lactose intolerance. After we uncovered the cashew allergy, we did some research of our own and daddy found a connection between cashews and sunflower seed oil. Anyways! I never noticed how many food products contain tree-nuts, are processed in a facility with tree-nuts - leading to cross contamination and how much of a hassle it is to make sure your child isn't eating something with or cross contaminated with tree-nuts whether at home or especially while visiting family and friends. 
We have also discovered that Ezio, our 14 month old, has a Cocoa (Chocolate) allergy! 
Talk about having to be cautious!

Flavors!
  Skeeter Snacks come in four flavors:
  • SkeeterDoodle
  • Golden Oatmeal
  • Chocolate3
  • Chocolate Chunk
Skeeter Snacks come with two cookies per package. Our boys devoured the Skeeter Snacks! Cade ate the Chocolate3 and Chocolate Chunk Skeeter Snacks and Ezio ate the Golden Oatmeal and SkeeterDoodle Skeeter Snacks. I just noticed that apparently I didn't get a picture of the Golden Oatmeal Skeeter Snacks before Ezio devoured them!!! I was too busy reading the back of the packaging, out of habit that is, to make sure there were no nuts in the Golden Oatmeal. Of course there were not any as Skeeter Snacks are all NUT-FREE! Duh! But I have a hard time finding oatmeal cookies and other oatmeal products w/o nuts.

 When we received our package of Skeeter Snacks, I was so excited to try the SkeeterDoodle, but ended up giving it to Ezio and didn't even get ONE bite! :( SnickerDoodle or in this case, SkeeterDoodle Cookies are MY FAVORITE!! I was so sad. Look how yummy they looked! Ezio enjoyed them!


 Since Ezio is allergic to chocolate we gave Cade the Chocolate Chunk Cookies. He is not photogenic and refused to let me take his picture of him eating his cookies.


I believe Cade's favorite Skeeter Snack was the Chocolate3. And look below! I finally got a photo of the little stinker, of course he couldn't smile for me, but I caught him with a Chocolaty face! 
  
Our boys approved of the Skeeter Snacks! Cade is a super picky eater, so that should say quite a bit.

Safety & Guarantee!
Skeeter Snacks are made in a dedicated nut free facility, maintaining a strict allergen protocol and are made with ingredients that are carefully selected from suppliers meeting nut free standards.

While Skeeter Snacks are totally nut-free, they do contain Wheat, Soy, Milk and Eggs.
