Seven Items I’d Still Recommend For Christmas 2009
December 3, 2009 | by DianaI’ve done reviews during the year and I like doing the reviews, even though it means trying things out I might not be in the mood for.

While the berries are listed as an ingredient, and it says they are dipped, I wasn’t able to find fruit inside the syrup. The sweet liquid inside the chocolate shell is light and more flowery than fruity tasting, but still pleasant. While I’m not a huge fan of chocolate covered syrup, my husband and son felt similarly about the fruit and the syrup but gave the candies a little better rating.
Would I buy these for myself? Maybe not, I’m not a huge fan of …
