Potato Leek Soup

This Potato and Leek Soup from Daniel J. Gourmet will have you cooking like a pro. While we loved Costco's potato soup that is made relatively the same as this product, Daniel J. Gourmet hit it big time on this soup. Easy to make, this soup is very creamy and thick. We followed the suggestions and added crispy bacon and shredded cheese to each bowl we served. The soup has a smooth texture and very favorable. It has a great blend of spices, that compliment the potato base. The soup was ready in 30 minutes from the package and was hearty enough to feed all five of us including two pre-teens. We felt this soup was a perfect end to a cold blistery day. Served with hot crusty bread, your guests will think you worked all day making it.

Chcocolate Covered Pretzels

Don't let this picture fool you, these pretzels are big in size and in taste. Covered in white chocolate and drizzled with milk chocolate or the other way around these pretzles pack in the flavor. I'm happy we snapped the picture when we did as the other pretzels were gone before I turned around.

When you bite into this sweet treat you are immediately rewarded with the crack of crispiness in the pretzel. The saltiness combines with the sweet flavor to create a delightful dessert. My family has enjoyed the mini chocolate covered pretzels before, and while they are good, the sweetness soon overcomes you. Their small pretzel does not counteract the sweetness as well as these big boys. I would have to say, the bigger the pretzel underneath that layer of chocolate the better it satisfies. Match the Chocolate covered pretzels with the Valentine Rice Crispy Treat and your gift will really stand out.

Walkers Chocolate Toffee

These chewy, soft caramel chocolates will satisfy almost any craving. Walkers Chocolate Toffee melts in your mouth and does not stick to your teeth. What can be more delightful? Even though these toffee candies are covered in a smooth rich chocolate, it does not overwhelm the delicate taste that toffee has come to be known for. These candies will take you back to grandmothers kitchen with their home made consistency and quality taste.

Dark Chocolate Almonds

Brookside's Dark Chocolate Covered Almonds are a perfect combination of sweetness and crunchy goodness. Even if you do not prefer dark chocolate the combination is complimentary.  The two tastes are equally noticeable which makes this a treat that is hard to stop eating.

Ghirardelli Chocolate Almond Bar

One of our favorite additions to a chocolate bar is almonds. For years we have bought a certain well known brand. I think our tradition is over. Ghirardellis chocolate almond bar has out done the competition. We found that this bar has more almonds and a better distribution of them. Almost every bite had almonds in it. With a creamier textured chocolate and a perfect balance of sweetness this chocolate almond bar has a quality that outweighs any other brands.

Strawberry Truffles from Harvest Sweets

These milk chocolate strawberry truffles are delightful. Made with real fruit, Harvest Sweets will not let you down. A truly delicate truffle that has a creamy center and still hold a true fruit flavor. Silky smooth milk chocolate surrounds a perfectly sweetened center. These truffles are not going to disappoint you with a thick aftertaste or overwhelming sweetness. You won't find these strawberry truffles in your grandmothers box of chocolates. These amazing treats fixed our sweet tooth perfectly.

Valentine Treats

If you love rice crispy treats you will flip for these. Soft chewy rice crispy treats stay true to the homemade texture. The marshmallow and butter flavors are just as detectable as if you had made it yourself. Dipped in chocolate and covered in sprinkles, these simple little treats take on a gourmet flair like no other. Just in time for Valentines Day, this treat is sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.

Comes in milk or white chocolate.
