***BIRTHDAY Nib Nobs Sweet Company

So,  I know am sure you all know all about cake,  and if you read my blog you are familiar with cake pops,  but have you heard of Nib Nobs?  If not,  let me be the first to introduce you to them! 

They're not a whole cake...

But they are the perfect bite sized peice of cake...

With just the right amount of frosting...

And just the ideal quantity of toppings!


That's right,  nib nobs contain the perfect amount of cake, icing, and toppings all in one bite sized ball.  I was excited to share them with our guests at my son's 3rd birthday party as Nib Nobs Sweet Company was kind enough to provide us with a dozen of their Nib Nobs(cake balls). 


Choosing which flavor was the hard part because they all looked so yummy!  Although the Chocolate Dipped Banana was very temping as was the Carrot Cake,  I ended up selecting the Pumpkin and the Birthday Cake.  I figured the Birthday Cake would fit perfectly with his birthday party of course and the Pumpkin would fit perfectly with the November season. 

Check out a sampling of what type of flavors they offer below:
  • Chocolate Covered Strawberry
  • French Vanilla
  • Lemon Drop
  • Peanut Butter Brownie
  • Key Lime Pie
  • And many other yummy flavors

We placed them on the "Sweets" table and I must say they fit in perfectly.  Everyone enjoyed them and the proof was in the empty container at the end of the party!  Because there was so many people interested in trying them I was only able to try one,  so I chose the Pumpkin.



The Pumpkin Nib Nob was decorated with bright orange frosting,  A green swirled icing decoration,  and small green sprinkles. I had never experienced any type of Pumpkin flavored cake prior to trying the Nib Nobs,  so I was extremly excited to try them because I am a huge fan of Pumpkin.  Let's just say the Pumpkin Nib Nobs sure didn't disappoint!  All I can say is MMMMMM!  They are so moist with just the right amount of sweet pumpkin pie flavor,  encased in scrimptious white chocolate. 

Although,  I did not get a chance to try one of the Birthday Cake Nib Nobs,  I am taking all my guests word for it that they were just as delicous as the Pumpkin flavored Nib Nobs.  The Birthday Cake Nib Nobs feature white cake sprinkled with rainbow sprinkles with vanilla frosting and then covered with white chocolate.  If it's your birthday then your birthdays in your mouth when your eating a Birthday Cake Nib Nob!

Nib Nobs would make a great addition to any celebration or get together.  They would also make a great gift for just about anyone.   If you would like to purchase Nib Nobs as a gift,  gift wrap is available upon request.   

BUY IT:  Nib Nobs are sold by the dozen or in (4) 3- pack sleeves.  They vary in price from $19.95-$24.95 depending upon the flavor.

Enstrom's Toffee



What do you get when you combine some of the worlds most delightful toffee with sinful chocolate and finely crushed nuts?  You get some of the most tastiest toffee ever and it is called Enstrom's Toffee!  Enstrom not only offers toffee,  but they also sell an assortment of gourmet chocolates and even sugar free treats.  Looking for a tasty gift?  They have plenty of those to offer to including gift baskets,  gift tins, gift packs,  and even wedding favors.


Enstrom's all began three generations ago when Chef Enstrom perfected the art of blending the finest natural ingredients to make tasty batches of of almond toffee as gifts for family and friends.  Ever since then the company has continued to grow and gain popularity as it has been passed down generation to generation.  To this day Enstrom toffee is still made using the same exact recipe that is almost 80 years old now. Chet's Granddaughter,  Jamee and her husband,  Doug Simmons currently own and operate the company and have been since 1993.  Jet's Grandson Rick,  and his wife Linda,  operate the Denver area retail stores,  as the third generation continues the famous family owned and operated business. 


I have reviewed Enstrom's Toffee in the past,  so I already knew what to look forward.  Some of the best tasting toffee that I have ever tasted in my life.  I think what makes it so good is the top of the toffee.  It is covered in chocolate and then dusted with a powdery like sprinkling.  The top consists of bits of almonds and delicious flaky buttery toffee. The crunchy  toffee is very high quality and contains extremely fresh.  I am typically not very fond of toffee,  but I am definitely very fond of Enstrom's brand toffee!


Enstrom's Toffee is available in three different varieties including:
  1. Milk Chocolate,  Dark Chocolate,  or Milk Chocolate Sugar-Free
  2. Bite Size Almond Toffee Petites
  3. Individually Wrapped Almond Toffee Bars
Enstrom's toffee can be purchased in four different sizes: 1 pound box,  2 pound box, 3 pound,  and a 5 pound box.  And all of you Gluten Free lovers will be happy to know that their toffee is 100% Gluten Free! 

BUY IT:  You can purchase a one pound box of Enstrom Toffee(just like the one I received) for only $1995 on Enstrom.com.

LEARN MORE:  To learn more about Enstrom,  visit them on their website,  and connect with them on Facebook.

*Disclaimer - Enstrom provided me with a one pound box of toffee,  free of charge,  for review purposes and sponsored my giveaway.  In no way did this alter my opinion of their products.  All of my opinions are one hundred percent honest and true.*

Heavenly Cake Pops


Any time I get to review any type of sweet goodies,  I am always anxious to try them out!  This time I was lucky enough to review  Heavenly Cake Pops!  Threes something about heavenly,  and Cake Pops,  that just fits together perfectly!  Cake Pops are the newest trend,  and I'm definitely in on it!  Cake Pops are cake balls that are covered in icing,  and then speared on a stick.  Just like a lollipop ,  but much more tastier! 

I wish they had these around when I was young,  but I do not remember any one ever making them,  that I was aware of anyway!  That is okay  because I can still enjoy them with my children!  The best thing about them is that they require no utensils and are not at all messy.  They make perfect treats for Birthday Parties,  Baby Showers,  Hostess Gifts,  Meetings,  and Holidays.  Because of their small size,  the cake balls stay on the stick much better than larger Cake Balls. 

As soon as I received my package I put them in the freezer.  That is the best way to store them,  as it keeps them nice and fresh,  and you can take them out one- by -one,  as needed.  It leaves the Cake Pops chilled,  at a perfect temperature , for me to enjoy.  Heavenly Cake Pops sell a variety of different flavors and types including Standard Cake Pops,  and Specialty Cake Pops.  I love the fact that they offer unique flavors such as "Chips Ahoy" Cake pops and,  Oreo Cake Pops.  I also love the fact that they offer character cake pops, such as "Spongebob Squarepants",  and "Hello Kitty".

Heavenly Cake Pops sent me six of their  Standard Chocolate Cake Pops to review.  You can choose your Standard Cake Pops to be covered in White Chocolate or Milk Chocolate.  Cake Pops that are covered in Milk Chocolate,  are drizzled in White Chocolate, and vice versa.  My Cake Pops were covered in Milk Chocolate and half of them were drizzled in White Chocolate  to create a nicely designed Cake Pop.  The Standard Cake Pops were very moist,  and really satisfied my sweet tooth!  The plain Chocolate Cake Pops are not my favorite flavor.  They do offer some other flavors that I was unable to try,  but I am sure they are yummy too!

The Cake Pops were not perfectly round,  they actually were flat on the bottom,  which made them easy to store them standing  up.   These Cake Pops are very reasonably priced at $12 for 12 pops,  which makes them only one dollar a piece!  Or you can buy a batch of 20 Cake Pops,   for $20 (still $1 apiece). Besides Cake Pops,  they also sell some other delicious treats,  so be sure to visit their Site or check them out on their Facebook fan page.
