Taste Test: Reese's Spread

Taste Test: Reese's Spread

As an Influenster, I received a bottle of Reese's Spread. I was so excited to try this product. I love Nutella and was eager to see how it compared. I must say Reese's aren't my favorite candy, but every now and then will crave that sweet and savory taste. Upon receiving the sample, I made some toast and use the Reese's Spread. I really enjoyed the combination of the chocolate and peanut butter. It wasn't like a melted Reeses' Peanut Butter Cup. It had a great consistency and wasn't too rich. We also made crepes this past week and I prefer Reese's Spread as a dessert spread and would use it more likely to enhance my desserts. My family loved the taste, I was surprised at how quickly it was consumed. A major down fall is the ingredients. Sugar is number one followed by peanuts. There are a total of 19 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoons. However, comparing it to a similar product, like Nutella (my favorite), which contains 21 grams of sugar per 2 tablespoons. Nutella also has sugar as its main ingredient.

I would definitely purchase Reese's Spread again, it's not too sweet, but satisfying and also is versatile in its various uses (fruit, bread, ice cream, crepes, etc).


Pros:
Delicious
Satisfying
Versatile


Cons:
Amount of sugar per serving

Taste Test: PURE bars

Taste Test: Pure Bars

While shopping at Costco, I was looking for some sort of snack for myself. Having a two-year-old, I tend to dip into her tasty treats every now and then, but I was left feeling sluggish and heavy after...(I eat way more than any person should!!). But I wanted something small that I could fit in my purse and carry with me. 

I have bought protein bars before, stomaching the "date" taste or indulging in the "partially hydrogenated corn syrup". But neither of these options were what I was really looking for. I stumbled upon Pure Bar and bought a large pack of 15 bars, which included the following flavors: Peanut Butter Chocolate, Chocolate Chunk Nut, Triple Berry Nut. 

I really enjoyed all three bars. The obvious favorites were peanut butter chocolate and Chocolate Chunk Nut, but Triple Berry Nut Bar became my favorite as well. This product is satisfying and delicious. It is very tasty, a healthy spin on a Rice Krispy Treat. It combines quinoa, amaranth, flax and 

They are also gluten free, kosher, vegan, and organic. Can you really ask for more? They have a bunch more flavors that I am eager to try. 

A very tasty treat!

Pros:
