Glee Make Your Own Chocolate Kit www.gleegum.com

Did you know that there is company called Glee you can see it at http://www.gleegum.com and it offers "Make Your Own Chocolate kits as well as make your own Chewing Gum kits. Plus they also have a "Make Your Own Gummies". The Gunmmy one is the one that Charlie and David want to try out and so I am thinking I will purchase it for David to go into his stocking for Christmas. I also think I would purchase the gum kit for my sister and myself as we both love out gum and I think it would be fun to make our own gum. When I contacted the company and asked them if they would allow me to host a review and a giveaway for them they said I would be able to chose which kit I could try and so I let them chose what to send and they sent the chocolate one. I was so glad they did as I love anything that has to do with chocolate. So does Charlie. Once it arrived I sat down to open the box as I wanted to see how hard it would be to make it as it says for 8 and above. With either mine or Davids help though Charlie can do it. We just would let him stir the candy and we would make sure to always be next to him. So I had David and Charlie sit down and I pulled up the site and we went over what came in the kit which is the following items: Inside each Make Your Own Chocolate Kits you'll find: organic cocoa butter, cocoa powder, confectioner's sugar, starter crystals, a temperature indicator, paper candy liners, instructions, and the story of chocolate. All you have to do is melt the cocoa butter, add the cocoa powder and sugar. Stir, stir, stir until it cools to the right temperature; add the starter crystals so that the chocolate "tempers," and enjoy delicious home-made chocolate from scratch! By the way, you also get some cacao beans - we thought you might like to taste a few. Each Chocolate Kit makes 8 oz. of dark chocolate! Then we opened the box together and we went into the kitchen and we started to make the chocolate. I think we had more fun making it than we did eating it. It makes 8 ounces of Dark Chocolate which made Charlie so happy as he loves Dark Chocolate. I wish they had Milk Chocolate. I like knowing that they have the story of chocolate as it helps me teach children and so I can use the kits in school. Since I live in a apartment and there is a Boys and Girls Club here and the kit tells us how to use these in a classroom I am going to take to the lady over the class and see if she would purchase these for the children to make to give them to there parents in school. Story The Legend Of Chocolate Chocolate comes from cacao beans which were originally found only in Central and South America. Cacao was so special to the ancient Aztecs that they told this legend: Their god, Quetzalcoatl, brought the cacao tree from Paradise to earth, traveling on a beam of the Morning Star. He gave the tree as an offering to the people, and they learned how to roast and grind its beans into a paste. They added spices and mixed it with water calling it "xocolatl" or "bitterwater". They believed that it brought wisdom and knowledge to those who drank it. Today, cacao is an important part of agriculture in the tropics all around the world. The legend of chocolate lives on! The nice thing was in the box they sent me was a bunch of samples of the Gum that they carry and I was so excited to try them out as there was so many different flavors. Glee Gum Tangerine This is one that I allowed my friend Allegria to try as she likes Tangerine and she enjoyed it and said she would buy it again. With there being two pieces of gum David also tried it and he enjoyed it as well. Glee Lemon Lime Sugar Free knowing that this one was sugar free is nice as it is something I would not mind Charlie having as he likes to chew gum. I let him try it thinking he would not like it and that it would be sour but he says it is not and that he would like to get it again. Glee Gum Peppermint is one that I let David and I try together. The flavor is good. It is not over powering. Peppermint is not one of my favorite flavors but it is something that I might try again. I even let Charlie taste it and he liked it alot. This reminded me of the Chiclets I used to get at the bank when I was a child and went with my parents. re-fresh Mint was one I let David and Charlie have and they both enjoyed it a lot. They said that they would not mind buying it again. I can tell you I would not mind Charlie having it again as it is also sugar free. Spearment everyone knew this one was mine as it is my favorite flavor of gum and mints. I was nice and I did let David and Charlie try it and they both enjoyed it as much as I did. I can tell you that I am so happy to know I can buy these at Whole Foods as I am going to go and get me some to keep in my desk. Cinnamon this is one I wanted to try as I like Big red Gum and I wondered if it would taste like it. To me and David it tasted better than Bog Red Gum and it is something I would purchase for my dad and my nephew as they both would enjoy it. It would be something that I would put in there stockings. The last one we tried was the Bubble Gum Flavor and it reminded me of the bubble gum I would buy as a child and I really enjoyed it. I think my son and I would like to buy it again. I also think that David would like to have it again as well. If you have not tried all these wonderful gums from Glee Gum Please check them out at http://www.GleeGum.com and let me know which flavors you would like to try. Glenda

Yummy Earth is some "YUMMY" candy

The first product we where able to try was the Sour Beans and I must tell you they are sour. I did like the fact individual packages. I also like that they are all natural.  Plus they are made with real
Fruit Juice.  They are fat free and glueten free. I also like the fact that they have less than 70 calories per pack. There is no artificial dyes. I think these would make nice snacks to take to my sons school when they have parties. Please check out sourbeans..com and you will get your daily dose of vitamin C.
















Another item Charlie was able to try from  Yum earth Naturals is the Organic Lollipops. I like that there is 8 different flavors such a Wet face Watermelon and also Very Very Cherry. The one I wanted to try was Googly Grape only Charlie took it as he said he needed it. I also like that they are made with real juice Extracts. Plus it comes with Planet free ingredients.

One other thing I like is that these where made by dad. Yes, dads.

Finally Candy that is "Good For You"!!

As you all know Charlie and I Love us some "Cookies" but we also Love us some "Candy".  The more we have the better off we think we are. We could eat candy every single day a million times a day and still not have enough. Since I know it is bad for our teeth and that it is also full of sugar I decided to search for some that would not be as bad.

What I found was Caring Candy and I love it as it has only things that are good for us. It is sugar free and it has no artifical sweentners. So I do not feel to bad when Charlie ask if he can have a piece of candy.

Ther are tooth friendly which we need in my household. Plus Diabetics can even eat them.

I know keep these in my house for the neighbor children as well. As they do not know all the good things they have for them. Just that they taste really good.

I am even thinking of putting them in the Christmas Stockings as they have Candy Canes.

With all the different varities there is something for everyone.
