Reese's Varieties

-
Fun Fact: In Canada, Reese's candy bars are just called Reese. (And if you are from Canada - Fun Fact: In America, Reese candy bars are called Reese's.)

Today's adventure is in the land of candy (not Candyland - that's a game).

When it comes to consuming chocolate and candy, Reese's is a family favorite.

Last night, we had a party (for a stuffed bear of Little D). There were balloons, name tags, prize raffles, dancing and candy. All of this was planned by Little C and Little D (those are how I shall refer to my children in my blogging). Except for the candy - I planned that part.

Enter: Reese's in a multitude of varieties. We had Regular. We had White Chocolate. We had Chocolate Lovers. And we had Peanut Butter Lovers.

Here we have a picture of the packages:





And here we have a picture of just the peanut butter cups:



The taste test:

Regular: We ate this one first as a control. Delicious, as always!

White Chocolate: This was Little C's favorite. If you like white chocolate and peanut butter, this one is delicious. White chocolate isn't my favorite, but I do like it every now and then. So I quite enjoyed it.

Chocolate Lovers: I imaged this as just more chocolate and less peanut butter. Which didn't excite me personally. I like the peanut butter and just assumed that this one would just be messing with the proportions and result in too much chocolate and not enough peanut butter. I was pleasantly surprised when the amount of peanut butter didn't appear to have diminished at all. Rather, the flavor of the chocolate was enhanced. It definitely had a more chocolaty flavor to it. For me, it still wasn't as good as an original (or better yet, a Reese's egg from Easter time), but it far exceeded expectations.

Peanut Butter Lovers: Instead of a top layer of chocolate, it was a top layer of peanut butter (probably mixed with some chocolate to give it more solidness.) I really enjoyed it. I think my husband found this one his favorite (he loves anything peanut butter). For me though, I still think the original is the way to go.

In conclusion: I think it is really great that Reese's is making more varieties. Different people like Reese's for different reasons. And giving more options makes it easier to find one's optimal candy.

What about you? What flavors of Reese's have you tried? What was your favorite?

Stay tuned! Next up: McDonald's International Menu

Noodles and Company Soft Opening

-

Last month, a new Noodles and Company location opened up in our area. I was lucky and snagged a seat at their soft opening event (thanks to a facebook ad).  If you have never been to a soft opening, it is basically when a restaurant is just about ready to open, they have a day or two when people can come and eat (usually for free) to give the staff practice before they are officially opened to the public. The soft openings I have been to in the past usually are "invite only," but when you can get an invite, it is a neat experience. For Noodles and Company, I quickly had my friend Savannah sign up too. We each got to bring one guest (we chose our littles while our bigger littles were in school). And then everybody got to pick an entree and a drink for free . The soft opening was well organized with people checking guests in, friendly staff greeting us, servers and cooks who knew what they were doing. They were clearly trained well. I ordered Alfredo Mo...

Goat Yoga

The Gateway is a large open-air mall with shops, businesses, activities, restaurants and more in downtown Salt Lake. It has so much to do that the whole family took an entire day to hang out there and experience the things The Gateway has to offer. This particular Goat Yoga experience happened on a different day, but I figure I'll use it to start off my Gateway series of posts. Goat yoga. Have you heard of it? It's a new fad I've been hearing about. You do yoga while goats prance around you and jump on you. Let's start with the cons: *Ouch ouch ouch! A goat jumping on me?? Ouch! At one point there were 4 goats on my back at one time. There hooves hurt. I left with scratches and bruises. *I couldn't hear the instructor giving the yoga instructions. (This con would of course be based on what company you have your goat yoga experience with) *The yoga mats are pretty dirty. You can bring your own - but then it might get goat dirty too. *Yo...

The Gateway

-
This is my last post in my series on The Gateway . There are so many things to do and see at The Gateway and writing an individual post about all of them would get tedious and boring. But I don't want to stop sharing about this place. They have updated a lot of things there in recent years and are still adding more new things . Below are just a few more suggestions of things to do at The Gateway. Things I've done and loved: Rocket Fizz - Specialty candy and soda shop . There are many locations throughout the country, but only two in Utah (the other is in Vineyard). Salt and Honey - A maker's market . This place has locally made, independently produced items that are fun and unique. Many artists and makers use this store as a platform to sell their handmade creations. Dave and Buster's - Another place that is all over the country - but this is the only one in Utah. Think Chuck-e-Cheese's, but for grown ups . Still family friendly, but does serve alcohol ...
