FOOD AND TRAVEL

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down – Mary Poppins

Written by Alaine

While most of you are planning on relaxing this weekend, I’ll be dancing/sweating/slaving away in dance studios for multiple hours. How do I keep my energy levels high? Pack some snacks in my bag of course!

I’ve had the pleasure of taste testing Chocolate.com’s Tulip Sugar Cookies from their Flower Garden Cookie Collection. The cookies were beautiful to look at and taste like homemade sugar cookies (made from scratch!) with only the freshest ingredients. This cookie had an immense amount of icing on it which would definitely appeal to a much younger age (think 3-14 year olds). I like my cookies without icing and chewy, I’m biased. If you like icing, pretty packaging, and fresh ingredients in your cookie I would definitely recommend checking the cookies out. I went to their website and found out that they personalize chocolate business cards! The chocolate business cards come in a plastic case and the “card” itself is edible. They put a real business card in the case too of course! How horrible would it be if you got a chocolate card from an important business contact (or that cute guy you met last night 😉 ) and you ate the chocolate but didn’t write down the contact info. Looks like you’re not going to get laid or paid!
