Seven Items I’d Still Recommend For Christmas 2009

December 3, 2009 | Written by Diana

I’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. I always tell the truth about what I’ve feel and I don’t do things I object to, like cookie diets.  I’d like to tell you my favorite reviews of the year, the ones I liked the best.  These are also the things I still use on a regular basis because I found them so useful. These are items I reviewed between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009. They may not seem like the most elegant gifts, or the coolest, but these are the ones I use the most.

I enjoyed the dark chocolate outer shell.  It wasn’t too sweet, and is a good contrast to the fruit syrup inside.

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 …
