My lovely neighbor who lives across the street shared some delectable treats with us from her work travels. She often goes to Europe for work and brings us goodies back. I am like a little kid as I anxiously await her return. This past trip she shared chocolates and fruit treats with me, the kids and Hubby! I tend to hoard hide the chocolates for me and only me. Does that sound selfish? No, I didn't think so either! Ha ha. These chocolates are simply delicious and melt in your mouth. I usually will have just one because they are that good. You can savor one and look forward to the next one on another occasion. I tend to freeze them or stash them in the back, way back of the fridge for safe keeping. You know, me time, that time of the month and so on.
The children and my Hubby were excited to have the Gummi's and noted that they tasted a bit different from the ones we buy here at our local retailers. They were delicious and not so sugary as the ones we purchase at our discount stores, etc. My Hubby is a Gummi connoisseur and was so excited to try the original recipe from Germany! He already has his order ready for the next trip and of course my order is ready to! Yummo! What's your favorite treat, goody or "stash" item???
That was a sweet thing to do! My hubby has friends and family who send him salt water taffy from various places. :)
ReplyDeleteI know it! My neighbor is the best. Those are the things that can brighten your day!
DeleteOh my! I am a chocolate fiend! I'd stash those goodies away for a special treat for myself, too! :) Enjoy, Shon!!! T. http://tickledpinkwoman.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteHa ha...yes indeed.
DeleteThose chocolates look too pretty to eat!
ReplyDeleteThey are too pretty to eat, but a shame to waste. LOL
DeleteI've never had those Gummis but I've had that brand of chocolate, and OMG! I'd hoard it too! :D
ReplyDeleteAnyhoo, hope you're all having a good week so far, Shon.
I know the Chocolate is sinfully good!
DeleteNow I want some chocolate! Ha! You have every right to hoard chocolate- you work hard and need a little "reward" for all that you do. At least that's what I tell myself when I go to my "stash". Lol!! I totally relate to this post- love it!!

Thanks for the support! LOL
DeleteEnjoy your stash!
haribo! the best gummies ever and those chocolate shells are too pretty to eat. believe it or not ... i don't eat much chocolate, so that box would last me a year! the only thing i've ever "stashed" are the starburst jelly beans. you usually only see them around easter and they are so much better than the others.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! My Hubs does not eat chocolate either, but will devour Gummis and Red Vines to no end! I am the chocolate fiend!!
DeleteYummyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Love haribo sweets!

They are really good and my family loves them.
DeleteNo that does NOT sound selfish to me....I would do the same exact thing lolll. Especially with treasures (chocolate) from Europe. I tend to hide items I buy from the local bakery, so I can't imagine what I would do if someone brought home goodies from their travels. And I've been wanting to try Haribo gummies since forever!
ReplyDeleteOh treat yourself to the Haribo Gummies...you will not be disappointed.
DeleteThanks for the fist-bump on this!!
those shells are almost too pretty to eat. almost!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, almost is right! They are almost gone....
DeleteYum! Are you on Instagram? Megan and Nora sent me some yummy candies that are just made of Cane sugar and ginger. Man they are gooood and they are HOT!!!! I posted it on IG, in case you could see it there.
ReplyDeleteNo, I am not on IG! I bet those candies are so yummy though? Enjoy!
DeleteI have had those shells before
ReplyDeleteThey are heavenly!!

Sweet ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm with you...I would probably hide the chocolates and savor them one at a time. They look delicious.
ReplyDeleteHow nice of your neighbour to bring you such lovely gifts. Yes, those gummies are quite popular and very well-known.

Yum, I'd hoard the chocolates too! And I love the Haribo gummies! So neat that the German version is a little different.

Hey there, I'm a London mama and my best friend can get through a bag of Haribo in a sitting easily! My treats are of course the ones I ask my husband to bring back from his trips to the States - Reeses pieces and Cheetos are my favourite! Yum!

I am not a candy lover at all but a good chausson aux pommes or pain au chocolat will get me every time.
ReplyDeleteYour neighbours seem lovely!
