Reese's Spreads My Unexpected New Love

As I sit sadly scraping out the last little bit of Reese’s Spread out of the container I cant help but think fondly on the times we shared. How it showed up on my doorstep in my VoxBox. How excited I was opening it. My munchie monster inside of me giggled with delight as I pulled it out of the box. Wait, are you stuck on the VoxBox part? What the he'll is that you might ask? Well, I had recently signed up with this awesome online community called Influenster. Its great, you leave reviews on things you’ve tried, and ask questions on things you haven’t tried. Occasionally you’ll have the opportunity to try new things for free. Which is what a voxbox is. Try it, give your opinion, and spread the word through social media! I was lucky enough to get picked to try Reese’s Spreads. Before I go on, yes I received this product free to try BUT ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN.
  Now, back to the original topic. My new love, Reese’s Spreads. When I opened up my voxbox I was thrilled. I immediately ran to the kitchen, popped it open and dug in. I honestly didn't know what to think of it. I didn’t expect for it to taste exactly like a Reese’s cup. But it DOES. Not too chocolatey, and not too peanut buttery either. It’s more peanut butter taste, but that’s exactly how a Reese’s cup is too. The texture is a little gritty. But not in a bad way. Though I did expect it to be smooth. And it may take some getting used too. I assume that the peanut butter makes it like that?
  I also tried it with pretzels which is the best. To me its like a crunchy salty sweet peanut butter bar type of taste going. Awesome! Great with apples, bananas, I put a dallop in my hot chocolate which was nice. I wanted to try it on bacon but I never got around to getting the bacon. Lol Ah well, this container is gone. Without realizing it, I’ve gotten hooked. Apples with it make me feel like I’m still being healthy :-) So I’ve been having it as a late night snack like that most of the time…. I already have plans to go to the store and snag a container tomorrow.
Bottom line is this, if you love Reese’s Cups give Reese’s Spread a try. You won’t be disappointed! Tastes great virtually on everything. Check out the pins on Pinterest. There’s something like a craze going on with it. Don’t be left out! Go ahead, try Reese’s Spreads. It's under 4 bucks so it won't hurt your pocket. Plus the jar does last a little while.
DISCLAIMER: Just in case you missed it, I received this product complimentary for testing purposes.

Something Like A Product Junkie

     Like the title says, I'm something like a product junkie. It's something that most are ashamed of. But nope, not me. I am a proud product junkie. :-) I'm particularly addicted to hair products. Like, really you can never have to many hair products. Same can be said about makeup too. Lol I could keep going because hey, most females feel this way about many things. No need to keep naming things that you can't have too many of. You totally get my drift.
    With that being said, I try a lot of things. But before I purchase anything with my fiance's hard earned cash, I read reviews. Nothing gives you more insight into a product than an honest, down to earth review. Too many times you're led to reviews on things that seem too good to be true. Some seem fake and vague. Offering a lot of words and not enough actual information. That's what I don't like. That's what I want to be the opposite of. I want to give you the honest truth. The good, the bad, and the ugly.
    So I'll be posting reviews of things I've tried. Sometimes the things I will be trying is free. I of course will let you know this. And for the record, ALL opinions are my OWN. Doesn't matter if I received a product for free or not. I'll be giving you the pros, and cons. Giving you the information you need to decide if the product is right for you. :-)
