Loacker Minis Variety Pack Review & Giveaway {Love is in the Air Giveaway Hop}

What's your favorite way to celebrate the month of love? How about gifting your loved ones little sweet treats like Loacker Minis?

Made with all-natural, high quality ingredients sustainably sourced directly from the Italian Alps, Loacker Minis are the bite-sized version of Italy's #1 wafer! Each mini wafer features four light, crispy wafers and three layers of tenderly melting cream filling. Loacker Minis are available in three delicious flavors: hazelnut, chocolate and vanilla. They contain pure goodness, with no colorings, no preservatives, no hydrogenated fats and less sugar.

We were very excited to sample all three flavors. While my favorite is hazelnut, all my kids love vanilla best (which is a bit sweeter than the other two). Loacker Minis are perfectly sized as a fun and tasty snack for the kids, either on the go or at home. Of course, they are loved by the grown-ups as well. Please be warned that it would be extremely hard to resist the temptation to take more than one at a time. Please visit LoackerUSA.com to check out all their products.

I have the pleasure of giving away a Loacker Minis Variety Pack, which includes 60 Loacker Minis, 20 in each flavor! For your chance to win these lovely treats to share with your loved ones, please complete the entries below. Good luck and Happy Valentine's Day!

Hamilton Beach Ice Cream Maker Giveaway {Sweet Summertime Giveaway Hop}

Hand-decorated cookie bouquets combined with huggable, adorably outfitted bears are the best of both worlds and make great presents for everyone from your longtime sweetheart or new flame to your favorite kid or kid-at-heart.

Each cookie bouquet is made-to-order and every cookie is decorated by hand – you can even have your custom love note or photo printed right on the cookies!

Expert Tips on Halloween Nutritional Swapping for Kids

Kids love Halloween partly because it's their harvest day for candy. According to the National Retail Federation, the average American child will collect in the range of 3,500-7,000 calories of candy during Halloween! Isn't that appalling? As a health conscious parent, I urge you to swap candy for more nutritious and wholesome treats for your kids this Halloween. And I'd like to share a few tips from Kate Geagan, who is coined "America’s Green Nutritionist", a frequent guest on morning news and talk shows, an award-winning dietitian, and the author of Go Green Get Lean: Trim Your Waistline with the Ultimate Low-Carbon Footprint Diet.

Kate has helped millions of Americans fall in love with healthier, greener food choices that powerfully nourish their lives. As a mother of two, she offers the following strategies to help your family survive the Halloween junk food frenzy and make the nutritional swapping.

Spell out HALLOWEEN and hand out healthy snack packs such as Earth's Best (Sesame Street) Organic Letter of the Day Vanilla Cookies. Candy won’t crowd out the healthy foods if kids are intrigued with the tasty alphabet treat.

Who doesn’t love a chocolate chip cookie? KIDSAFE Cookies are a perfect Halloween “treat” in its own little package.

Fill them up with healthy snacks first! Foods packed with fiber enriched whole grains like Elmo and Big Bird shapes of Crunchin' Crackers and Grahams in flavors of cinnamon, chedder and veggie digest slowly and provide your child with a steady stream of energy.

Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates BOGO Coupon

Do you have a weakness for chocolate? The holidays is the perfect time to indulge yourself a bit in the things you love most! Read the story behind the creation of Mrs. Cavanaugh's Chocolates and take advantage of their BOGO offer while it lasts.

Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.

"It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe," Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. "I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties. Then I began dipping chocolates. Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business. Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'"

Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.

...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch.

"It was a difficult decision, especially for George," Mrs. Cavanaugh said. "He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success. We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates."

Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence.

Countdown Cal Chocolate Filled Halloween Countdown Calendar Giveaway (3 Days Only!)

Halloween is just five weeks away! It's one of the favorite holidays for children and adults who are young at heart. If you are one of those who get excited about Halloween long before the spooky night actually comes, you are gonna love this one-of-a-kind Halloween countdown calendar created by Countdown Cal. With the yummy chocolate and everything, it'll sure become a wonderful addition to your holiday rituals. Enter to win one for free now!

Thank you Countdown Cal for sponsoring this giveaway

Words from the Sponsor--Countdown Cal

In developing the product, I paid close attention to every detail to ensure that children would enjoy the calendars and eagerly anticipate the daily ritual of opening another flap and getting a sweet treat. The illustrations on the front and back of the box are from a terrific children's illustrator. For our Halloween calendar box, the front has a haunted house and the back has a creepy cemetery. As a former teacher, it was important to me that the calendars also have educational aspects. Printed on the underside of each flap is the number of days remaining until Halloween, helping kids understand the numerical concept of counting down days, or more specifically counting backward to indicate the days left before Halloween occurs. Also printed on the underside of each flap is a mini picture of a Halloween image that the children are to find somewhere in the graveyard scene on the backside. This daily exercise helps hone kids' observational skills, and from personal experience, my grandkids sure love the challenge of spotting certain objects in a picture!

The Halloween Countdown Calendar is filled with 16 foil-wrapped milk chocolate flavored treats and great features to make counting down for the big day a lot more fun. It's highly affordable too, only $9.99 each, click HERE to order yours now!

Weight Watchers Ice Cream Review

I don't really have a sweet tooth, but the one sweet treat I can never resist is ice cream. It's my favorite snack of all seasons and eating ice cream in winter has been a heavenly indulgence for me. That's why I was overjoyed when Weight Watchers invited me to try out their new line of better-for-you ice cream snacks, which allow me to enjoy delicious treats without feeling guilty about it!

Weight Watchers is known for their holistic approach to weight loss, including the PointsPlus program, which helps people make healthy, sensible food choices by assigning a numeric value to a food item based on how hard your body has to work to process its major nutrients (e.g. protein, fat, carbohydrates and fiber) and how much eating satisfaction it provides. The lower the PointsPlus value, the better the food is for weight control.

With a PointsPlus value of 3 or less, Weight Watchers Ice Cream is a great snack choice for those who want to eat smart in the new year. Weight Watchers Ice Cream also comes in a variety of delectable flavors. The ones I sampled include Weight Watchers Snack Size Chocolate Fudge Bars, Weight Watchers Dark Chocolate Raspberry Bars, Weight Watchers Dulce de Leche Dessert Bars and Weight Watchers Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Dessert Bars.

After tasting all the four varieties, everyone in my family unanimously voted for the Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Dessert Bars as our favorite. Featuring low fat strawberry ice cream with a strawberry swirl dipped in a milk chocolate, each bar has a PointsPlus value of 3 and only 100 calories! They have the perfect blend of chocolate and berry flavors, the most enticing look and the perfect size for eating satisfaction. Our second favorite is the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Bars, with a PointsPlus value of 2 per bar and just 80 calories. The Snack Size Chocolate Fudge Bars have as low as 1 PointsPlus value per bar and 45 calories, the best choice if you're really serious about weight loss. I'm not a big fan of caramel, but my husband loves the Dulce de Leche Dessert Bars as much as the Dark Chocolate Raspberry Bars.

This is the first time I tried Weight Watchers Ice Cream and I'm truly surprised by how divine it tastes! It has far exceeded my expectations of a snack designed for weight loss. My husband and I love to savor Weight Watchers Ice Cream as our after-dinner dessert, while my son loves it as his afternoon snack. It's also a reward treat for good behavior that we feel comfortable about offering to our child.

Whether or not you're into keeping a healthy weight, I strongly recommend you to check out Weight Watchers Ice Cream--a tasty better-for-you treat to light up your day.

Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned Shakes and Fruit Smoothies Review

The latest frozen novelties, Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned® Shakes and Fruit Smoothies, are hitting the freezer aisle across the country this summer, sure to shake up the snack routine of ice cream and smoothie lovers. Enjoy homemade milkshakes and smoothies with no mess, no blender, no scooping, no clean-up!

It's super easy to create creamy parlor-style shakes with Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned Shakes. Each single serve shake cup (10 oz) is filled with Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned frozen shake mix. Simply remove the lid, add milk, stir, and a milkshake will be ready to serve in 30 seconds. Better yet, the Slow Churned shakes contain only half the fat and one-third fewer calories than regular shakes. Dreyer’s/Edy’s Slow Churned® Shakes are available in four popular flavors: Vanilla, Chocolate, Strawberry, and Cookies 'n Cream.

Made with real fruit, fruit juice and frozen yogurt, the new Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Smoothies are a good source of calcium and Vitamin D, an excellent source of Vitamin C and contain live and active cultures. They are fat-free when made with fat-free milk. Follow the same simple steps: remove lid, add milk, and stir, and you will have a delicious fruit drink to start the day or pick you up between meals. Dreyer’s/Edy’s Fruit Smoothies come in four yummy flavors: Strawberry Banana, Mixed Berry, Tropical (Pineapple, Mango, Passion Fruit), and Sunrise Blend (Peach, Orange, Banana).

I was provided with several free coupons to try out the Dreyer’s Slow Churned® Shakes and Fruit Smoothies. We found the new products in the Kroger store we frequent for grocery shopping. My son and I picked the Chocolate and Cookies 'n Cream flavored Shakes and Strawberry Banana and Mixed Berry flavored Fruit Smoothies. The Cookies 'n Cream Slow Churned Shake is our favorite. It's so rich, creamy, and tasty! I love how fast and easy it is to prepare a sweet treat that cools us down, providing a heavenly escape from the heat outside. You can customize the thickness of your drink to your liking by changing the amount of milk to add in. I can feel good about serving the Dreyer's shakes and smoothies to my child because they are low in fat and nutritious. The single serve cups are great for portion control. I did find the cups for shakes a bit too small compared to the mix inside. It was hard to thoroughly stirring up the contents without any spills. This was not an issue for the smoothies though.

Dreyer’s Slow Churned® Shakes and Fruit Smoothies are the first single-serve, drinkable snack treat offered by Dreyer’s/Edy’s. They are available nationwide with a suggested retail price of $1.79 (Our Kroger has them at $5 for 3). For additional product information and to find out where you can buy them, please visit www.icecream.com.

Popsicle Prize Pack Review and Giveaway-5 Winners!

~~The giveaway is now CLOSED~~

Popsicle® is a brand I grew up with. Their products filled my summer memories with cool sensations and colorful flavors. I can hardly tell you enough of how much personal meaning the brand has for me. Just think about their inspiring slogan: If It’s Popsicle®, It’s Possible! I got really excited when Popsicle® offered me the opportunity to sample their newest product--Jolly Rancher™ ice pops!

Popsicle® Jolly Rancher™ ice pops are not only colorful and flavorful, they are also quite healthy. At 45 calories, each pop is made with 10% fruit juice, is fat free, and provides 10% of the daily value for vitamin C per serving. Each 20-pack includes 10 pair of pops, each coming in four flavors in four color-coded layers: Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Grape and Sour Apple. This is the first time my son has tried an ice pop. He's absolutely fascinated by its interesting look and rich fruity flavors. He started to ask for a popsicle instead of yogurt during snack time. He usually got a green light when we came back home from outside. Who can resist a cute child's request for a delicious summer treat that even adults (including myself) crave for?

On the stick of each Jolly Rancher™ ice pop, there is a riddle with its answer hidden under the colorful ice pop. Older kids may have fun trying to resolve the riddle while gulping down their frozen treat. In fact, this bonus feature could make you eligible to win some great prizes! You'd better start collecting these cute sticks now.

To make the Summer of 2010 one to remember, Popsicle® is giving away three grand-prize family trips to dig for dinosaurs in Wyoming, dive with dolphins in Florida and explore the universe by going to Space Camp® in Huntsville, Ala. From now through September 30, 2010, you can enter the Anything's Possible Sweepstakes for your chance to win the grand prize trips and the daily prize, the National Geographic Kids™ “Big Book of Fun”.

I also received a copy of the Big Book of Fun for review. As you can see from its cover, the book is filled with colorful pictures, fun games, trivia tests, and lots of activities to keep kids engaged for hours. You can request a FREE copy of the book if you buy any four participating kids products or download the Small Book of Fun for free here.

In addition to the Anything's Possible Sweepstakes, Popsicle® is also hosting a Stick Joke Contest on Twitter. Simply submit a kid-friendly joke to the Popsicle® Twitter page for a chance to have your joke included on a Popsicle® stick or on http://www.popsicle.com. See official rules here.

Popsicle® has partnered with National Geographic Kids™ on the "Slow the Melt" campaign, which encourages kids to take easy steps to help slow the melt of the polar ice caps. As a reward, kids may play four new fun games in the Slow Melt Game Zone. Between now and August 15, 2010, Popsicle® will donate $1, up to $25,000, to the National Geographic™ Polar Fund for every Tweet containing the hashtag #SlowTheMelt. Funds raised will support research and exploration efforts of the polar ice caps and global warming issues. Thank you in advance for contributing to this great cause with a simple tweet.
