Brookside Dark Chocolate Crunchy Clusters

Crowdtap gave me the opportunity to try Brookside's dark chocolate crunchy clusters berry medley flavors. The clusters include crispy multigrains and soft fruit flavored centers all covered in smooth dark chocolate.

I gotta tell ya, Brookside has some amazing dark chocolate! I'm a dark chocolate diva too, a true dark chocolate connoisseur, some may even go far as calling me a dark chocolate snob. I'm not super big on milk chocolate, as I find it a bit too sweet, I enjoy it sometimes and I'll never refuse chocolate over any other snack. Brookside's dark chocolate is on par with other high quality organic dark chocolate that I usually favor. The sweet dried berries mixed with the chocolate was such a treat! A PERFECT treat! I will definitely buy Brookside chocolate in the future, I look forward to trying the dark chocolate and pomegranate!

Enjoying my favorite snack while watching my favorite show!

Verdict- WILL buy in the super near future!!!

Campbell's Tasters Sample And Share #DiscoverCampbells

Crowdtap gave me opportunity to try a bunch of new Campbell's products for free for trial and review purposes, in return, I gave my honest opinion of each of the items. #DiscoverCampbells



Campbell’s Soup Creamy Pablano & Queso
Verdict- Probably wouldn't buy again.

I wasn't a fan of the taste and consistency.

Spaghettios Micro
Verdict- Wouldn't purchase.

I'd much rather buy a can of Spaghettios. The heating up process was a pain, kind of dangerous. The spaghettios in the little pack didn't taste as fresh as the original.

Campbell’s Chunky Beer n Cheese soup with beef and bacon
Verdict- Wouldn't purchase.

The soup wasn't good, but it wasn't terrible. There was a really gross beer taste, like old beer.

Prego Light Alfredo
Verdict- Might buy.

I'm not a giant fan of jar alfredo, I make my own alfredo with fresh ingredients. In a pinch this product is really nice though. The sauce helps me make a nice quick dinner. I serves the sauce over pasta with some chicken.

Campbell’s Slow Kettle chicken noodle soup
Verdict- Wouldn't buy

I'm kinda picky when it comes to heavy handed herby broths or sauces and this soup tasted so strong!  It was sickening how strong the soup was. I don't know how anyone could eat the soup while sick. I could not get rid of the herby taste in my mouth!

Swanson cream starter
Verdict- Would Purchase

I made a mushroom, pea and shallot sauce with this cream starter and the product helped me prepare a nice quick sauce without having to make my own white sauce with flour, butter, milk.

Campbell’s Soup for easy cooking savory portobello mushroom meal starter

Verdict- Might purchase

I liked the idea of this product,  cooking up some protein and veggies and just throwing the pre made sauce into a pan, great concept. The product was alright, it was a bit herby, but nothing like the slow kettle soup! I would buy this again to have on hand for a quick meal.

Campbell’s Skillet Sauces creamy parmesan chicken
Verdict- Would Purchase!

I loved the product,  what's not to love. It's a creamy parmesan sauce in a easy to open pouch. I served this sauce with chicken and pasta.
