Shop Highlight: Bon Bon Brittle

{Mmmmmm! Bon Bon Brittle!}

Mmmmmmm! Yum! This weeks shop highlight is on Bon Bon Brittle.


{They came in a sweet little package!}

The two lovely ladies over at Bon Bon Brittle were VERY sweet and sent me a sample box of some different flavors of their yummy brittle.


{Yummy flavors!}

All their brittle is handmade and hand packaged. They also make them in small batches. They use natural ingredients and try to buy from local suppliers (huge plus to me)!

{Mmmmm}

I was sent 5 different flavors: Bacon, Bacon Chipotle, Chocolate, Divine Almond, and Green Tea. I was most looking forward to trying the bacon flavored brittle's!


{What I was really excited about: Bacon Brittle!}

Ok, here it goes... I'm trying the MUCH anticipated Bacon Brittle:

My favorite♥ flavors and why I loved them:

1st place: Divine Almond... Of course I was most excited about the bacon brittle, but I was immediately pleased and in love with the Divine Almond! Sweet brittle, with salty almonds. LOVE it!

2nd place: I loved the Bacon brittle... The awesome salty bacon taste is perfect with the wonderful sweet brittle. It crumbles in your mouth. The peanuts were a nice touch too.

3rd place: Chocolate brittle... It wasn't overpoweringly chocolaty, and it still had the nice brittle taste. This would really satisfy my chocolate cravings! Yum!

4th place: Bacon Chipotle brittle... This was great too! Not too spicy and it still had the yummy saltiness of the bacon.

5th place: Green Tea brittle... I have a mug of green tea every morning. I was very curious to try this. It was really good, just not my fave. But, it was my hubby's fave! Maybe it's because I'm such a bacon-oholic... It had the nice green tea flavor with the sweet brittle taste.

I had my Grammy, Nicole, Mike, and my hubby give them a try as well. Here are their favorites:

Grammy: Bacon Brittle
Nicole: Divine Almond
Mike: Divine Almond
Hubby: Green Tea

Please head on over to Bon Bon Brittle and get some for yourself! Father's Day is coming up... I think Dad has too many ties and needs some Brittle instead!

Trikes


{Nicole (2 years) and Chelsey (3 or 4 months)}

Yesterday I posted this photo on my mama blog for Christopher and Tia's Flashback Friday (check it out, it's fun!). I really love the trike in the photo. I thought, "Hmmm, I wonder what kind of trike goodies they have on Etsy?" Here are my fave's from my search....

Wren Willow has some really cute apparel! I love this little trike shirt:

Do your kids ever ask you where trikes come from? Well, this tote will take care of any awkward situations...

I love this print. It really brings me back to my childhood...

There are quite a few more trike items... but, these were just a couple of my favorites. :)

And, just in case you're thinking, "Hmmm, my kid needs a trike!" then here you go! I found these on Amazon. I really want to get one for Ruari.
