February 17, 2011 Hampton Popcorn

My friend from college owns the Hampton Popcorn Company. I love her to death, and would shamelessly promote her stuff no matter what, but it is ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD. The popcorn comes in a variety of flavors-there is certainly something for everyone: kettle corn, cheese popcorn, caramel corn, chocolate covered caramel corn etc. And this […]

February 17, 2011 Hotel Chocolat

The cesar-delicate chocolate cup piped full of praline textured with caramelised nut pieces (3 chocolates per serving/ 237 calories per serving). I really liked this piece, smooth and creamy with added crunch from the hazelnuts- a really nice flavor. The H box. What’s inside. The brownie-our version of the classic bake: pecan paste, chocolate and […]

February 17, 2011 Happy Goat

I saw this company featured on one of my daily emails I receive, honestly I can’t remember which one….I get so many. I am not really a goat milk or goat cheese kind of gal, so for me to buy these was stepping outside my comfort box. They were almost $7 for 2oz., and cost […]

I received an email from Garrison Confections (Andrew Shotts) for Valentine’s Day-I’m on their list. I first saw them years ago on Rachael Ray-featuring their Rocky Rhode Island. They had a retail store in Rhode Island, that closed back in 2008 (?), but they open up their factory store during the holidays. So this past […]

January 26, 2011 Au Chocolat

A friend of mine bought me these as a gift. A raspberry truffle. I have to admit that I don’t really go for fruit with my chocolate. Smooth hazelnut-SO good. This one was smooth inside, whipped like a three musketeers-yum! Coffee-very strong flavor-smooth inside, not bad. Milk truffle-a little uneventful. Chocolate covered nuts, need I […]

January 25, 2011 Hoffs Bakery

We bought a pie from Hoff’s for a fundraiser during the holidays. The pie came frozen, and they recommend that you keep it frozen until you’re ready to serve. The pie is pre sliced into 14 pieces. It has a graham cracker crust, dark chocolate and a peanut butter mousse filling. Each slice is finished […]

January 24, 2011 Roche Brothers Desserts

I was throwing a little dinner party and didn’t have time to make my own dessert, so I rolled over to Roche Brothers to see what I could find. I picked up 4 desserts from the bakery counter. Above is the tiramisu. Good flavor to it, but the cake was sponge like (super soggy). The […]

Angora Ice does not serve food, they have a few pre-made options, instead they focus on frozen yogurt, gelato and sorbet. […]
