~CLOSED~Pillsbury Sweet Moments Giveaway

Pillsbury introduces two new ways to enjoy life´s little luxuries with Sweet Moments Bite-Size and Molten Lava Brownies! Pillsbury Sweet Moments, now available in the refrigerated baked goods section of your local grocery store, are perfect for indulging any time of the day. The Bite-Size Brownies, which are layered with either rich caramel or fudge and chocolaty coating, are just the right size to grab and go for a quick pick-me-up. They´re ready to eat, so are ready right when the craving strikes - no preparation necessary! And, at 60 calories per brownie, they´re just enough to satisfy your sweet tooth.



And to reward yourself for a busy day well spent, try a Sweet Moments Molten Lava Brownie, which are served in single-serve bowls and are also available in rich caramel and fudge varieties. Each are covered in decadent chocolate or creamy caramel and topped with a chocolatey drizzle. After only 15 seconds in the microwave, the brownie bowls are warm and ready to enjoy. When chocolate bliss is this easy, how could you resist pausing for a Sweet Moment at the end of your day?




I recently received a package from My Blog Spark and Pillsbury, with a coupon for a free package of Pillsbury Sweet Moments, a bath puff, and chocolate-scented spa products.  I headed to the store with my coupon, so I could try the product, post my opinion here, and have a giveaway for all of you!   It was difficult  choosing which Sweet Moments to try, as they're all chocolate, and just about anything chocolate sounds good to me.  I finally decided on the Chocolate Caramel Bite-Size Brownies.  

There were 12 pieces in the package, 4 servings of 3 pieces each.  I thought that sounded like small-ish servings, but it turned out to be plenty, even for my chocolate sweet tooth.  Each piece was coated in a chocolate shell, and sort of reminded me of a petit four.  Inside the chocolate shell was a mini brownie with a layer of gooey caramel in the middle.   They tasted sweet, chocolatey, and rich, and made an indulgent treat with my afternoon coffee. 

Sweet Moments are a great way to satisfy your sweet tooth or chocolate craving, and you can't get much easier than grabbing a package from the fridge.  The Molten Lava Brownie Bowls take a short 15 seconds in the microwave, for a warm, gooey dessert.  I'll be trying those soon!

Sweet Moments has a suggested retail price of $3.19 for a two-pack of Molten Lava Brownies or a 12-pack of Bite-Size Brownies.  You can read about all of the varieties/flavors of Sweet Moments and print a coupon for $1.50 off at Pillsbury.com here.

My Review

I like trying new food products, especially when I have the opportunity to blog about them and offer a giveaway to my readers!  I've tried a few products from Farm Rich® and SeaPak®, but until recently I had no idea just how many varieties of snacks and seafood they make.  I checked out the Farm Rich® Products list on their website and found French Toast Sticks, Cheese Sticks, Mozzarella Bites, Meatballs, and much more.  SeaPak®'s products list includes Butterfly Shrimp, Shrimp Scampi, Maryland Style Crab Cakes,  Smoky Barbecue Salmon Fillets, and Seasoned Ahi Tuna Steaks, just to name a few.

I headed to the grocery store, and was hoping to find Maryland Style Crab Cakes, but alas, they didn't have them.  I did find SeaPak® Oven Crispy Butterfly Shrimp and Farm Rich® Mozzarella Bites.  When I got home I was on my own for lunch so I decided to treat myself, and popped both in the toaster oven
(I L-O-V-E my toaster oven! but that's another story...)  My lunch was ready in no time, and I was all set to enjoy it!




I was pleasantly surprised at how crispy and tasty the Butterfly Shrimp was.  The shrimp flavor was mild and pleasant, and the texture was perfect.  I dipped it in cocktail sauce and it was even better!  It was hard to believe this crunchy yummy shrimp had come from a frozen package! 

Some of the Mozzarella Bites had some cheese oozing out the sides when I took them out of the oven.  I warmed up some spaghetti sauce for dipping (I think a packet of marinara sauce would be great to include in the package.)  They tasted a bit too plain by themselves, but were better when dipped in the sauce.  All in all, I'd say they were just okay.   All in all, I had a pretty tasty lunch.

The Farm Rich® and SeaPak® websites have lots of yummy sounding recipes on their websites to help you plan easy, quick meals, snacks, and party fare.   The SeaPak® site also has The Sea Pak Blog, nutritional information, and much more. You'll find printable coupons, a birthday club, and other promotions at the Farm Rich® site.  They've filled both sites with lots of useful and interesting information, and links to where you can buy their products.  


Giveaway time!

Now you have the chance to win some yummy Farm Rich® and SeaPak® products!   The winner will receive 4 coupons for free products - 2 Farm Rich® and 2 SeaPak®.
