My mouth is thanking me!!

I was lucky enough to be asked to sample and then give a review of something delicious. I thought at first OK, lets see how good this stuff really is. When asked to give a review for Shari's Berries and asked what I wanted, I of course said Chocolate dipped Strawberries-I mean who in the world would turn those down right? I also got 3 mini cheesecakes-1 original, 1 white chocolate and 1 rocky road.

I was a little hesitant since they were coming in the mail, but thought what the heck.

I got my shipment overnight and the ONLY complaint I have is that the UPS drivers here don't ring the doorbell when they leave you a package, so I had no idea of when it was delivered or how long it sat on my porch. I don't think it was too long though since I was anxiously keeping an eye out for this box. Completely out of the companies control. I brought the box inside and could barely contain myself enough to not rip the box to shreds so that I could get to the treats inside.

My husband would have laughed at me because the first thing I saw after opening the box and taking off the top layer of Styrofoam was the 2 ice packs they had used to keep the food cold. I thought "sweet-a bonus of ice packs to help keep my formula and baby food cold while out and about" and popped those puppies right in the freezer. I know, I know, I am a hue nerd to get so excited over ice packs, but we only have a couple so I was enormously pleased. The next thing I found was a coupon for my next order - now I ask, who does not LOVE coupons?? And what mom doesn't need them for everything?

I took out the 3 boxes with my yummies in them and opened them right away. I was BLOWN AWAY!! The strawberries were as big as Jonathan's fist if not larger and so juicy that the papers under them were tinged pink. The mini cheesecakes were almost too precious for words.

See the pink tinged papers beneath the berries?

I think these were strawberries must have been grown with genes spliced from football players or something considering the size!! Here is one next to Jonathan's sippy cup for a comparison.

The darn berry is half the size of the cup!!

The cheesecakes are about the size around of the bottom of a coffee cup and about 2" tall-so perfect for a one serving portion. I guess you could share it if you really wanted, but come on, who are we kidding. As soon as I snapped the above pics, I took a berry out and bit into it. I SWEAR my eyes almost rolled back in my head it was so good! It was sweet and juicy and the chocolate was the perfect flavor companion. All of my taste buds sat up and started singing in thanks for the delicious treat.

I have to honestly say that I would indeed order from them in the future. I think this is perfect for presents for those people that I have in my life (and I am sure others do too) that seem to have everything. I order a lot of stuff like this for my grandparents and for little just because things. I ordered something similar to this for a friend a few years back who was fighting cancer. She needed the calories of the treats I sent and they made her happy. Just to know that I was thinking of her and wanted to give her something special made all the difference for her.

They have a wide variety from just Strawberries Covered in Chocolate, to cherries, cookies, brownie pops (which I have had before and are wonderful) cheesecakes, apples and more. I thought maybe for next mothers day I would send my mom the flower/berry combo. How can you go wrong with that?

Psst-I did get a discount code for anyone who wants to try them. If you type in BERRYGOOD you can get a 15% discount. If that isn't enough, like them here on FB and get an instant 20% discount!!

No post would be complete without a Bubbie pic;) He is drinking out of the same sippy cup (just a different color) as the pic above.
