Totally Awesome Gourmet Popcorn!

Posted on: April 19th, 2012 by Lydia 1 Comment

If you love the combination of sweet and salty you will die for Michele’s chocolate covered Totally Awesome Gourmet Popcorn.

I’ve had the privilege of meeting Michele, the super sweet lady behind these delicious popped creations, on a few occasions at various farmers markets and craft fairs. It is almost as if the organizers new that we had a great time talking about business, so they placed us next to each other.

I spent an hour or so yesterday checking out her new kitchen and retail space. If you live in Concord NH area and haven’t been there yet, you really need to check it out.

I love that the window is filled with popcorn! Not sure if you can tell from the small picture, I guess you’ll have to make a trip. I strongly suggest you get the Cookies-n-cream variety. I got a bag when I was there but it was gone by the time I got home.

It is always wonderful when you can connect with professionals in your field to share information and resources and just celebrate the highs and lows of being in business for yourself. It also helps when they make wonderfully delicious treats.

Thanks to Michele for helping me combat brownie boredome, one S’more at a time!

The first and only Cookbook you can actually read, cook and then eat. Packaged as classic lasagne, it is made out of 100% fresh pasta it can be opened, filled with ingredients and finally be cooked.   This would be perfect for those who have no space on their shelves for extra cook books!

Let’s see if we can get to 1200 “Likes” on facebook and 1000 followers on twitter, and I bet since you guys are so excited to win we can close the giveaway by the end of the day.

So here is how we’re gonna do this . . . If you are not already a fan on facebook or follower on twitter start there.  Then tell all your friends about this giveaway by shouting form the internet rooftop about how much you want to enjoy Sweet Lydia’s Marshmallow! Share the following statement on facebook and/or twitter “I want to win gourmet marshmallows from @SweetLydias http://bit.ly/HGEh8H”. Then leave a separate comment on this post saying if you are fan on facebook, follower on twitter, and if you shared the link on either.  Each comment gets you a chance to enter!

And since I want to share as much happiness as possible, I think we’ll have two winners but you must be a social media fan of Sweet Lydia’s to win. I’ll close the one giveaway when I hit 1200 “Likes” on facebook and the other when I hit 1000 followers on twitter.

The Hunger Peeps

Posted on: April 2nd, 2012 by Lydia No Comments

It is Easter time again and that means the Peep diorama contest held by the Washington Post. You may remember I shared a few of my favorites last year. This year there are too many to choose so I’m sticking with a theme: The Hunger Peeps. I just saw “The Hunger Games” movie this weekend and thought these were the funniest.

Thanks for your help combating brownie boredom, one S’more at a time!

PS Don’t forget to order our homemade marshmallow chicks before time runs out!

Brighten Your Day With Gummy Bears

Posted on: March 29th, 2012 by Lydia 1 Comment

Kevin Champeny is the genius behind this chandelier made from over 5,000 acrylic gummy bears by Jellio.  Could you imagine the fun if this was a spinning disco ball that could project brightly colored gummy light onto your walls?  They are a little out of my price range but a girl can dream.

Chocolate Meteorites

Posted on: March 26th, 2012 by Lydia No Comments

The chocolate geniuses at The Rihga Royal Hotel in Japan created a series of chocolates to resemble 8 major meteorites that have been discovered around the world. I don’t read Japanese so don’t know what flavors are at the core of these edible meteors, but I can only imagine how delicious they are.

For anyone who understands Japanese here is the link.  Found here.

S’Monsters

Posted on: March 22nd, 2012 by Lydia 1 Comment

Not only is the name “S’Monster” one of the best s’more-related things I’ve ever heard, these S’Monster boxes are just about killing me.  I found these amazingly creative s’more packaging over here (simply the best place to fawn over pretty packaging) and I am strongly thinking about contacting the designer to see if we could work together.

I am having serious “why didn’t I think of that” jealousy.

And there are stories about the S’Monster on the inside of the packaging! I’m not sure if this could get any better.

A serious thanks for your help combating brownie boredom, one S’more at a time!

Sweet Play

Designer Elsa Lambinet worked with Swiss chocolatiers to create a new kind of chocolate that can be filled and topped according to tastes. The result is both stunning and delicious.

Love this little video of all the chocolates dancing around.

A World Of Chocolate

Posted on: March 12th, 2012 by Lydia No Comments

These planetary chocolates were created Rihga Royal Hotel in Japan. This spectacular chocolaty solar system includes Mercury (coconut mango), Venus (cream lemon), Earth (cacao), Mars (orange praline), Jupiter (vanilla), Saturn (rum raisin), Uranus (milk tea) and Neptune (capuccino).  I wonder if they ship to the US so I can have the whole world in my mouth.

 

Found out about these from here, via here.
