Product Review: Awake Chocolate

Caffeine and chocolate, two of my favorite things!

Why not combine them?

That's exactly what Awake Chocolate did!

Each "bite" has the equivalent to half a cup of coffee (so you're gonna want about 4 or 5, right?). You can get the caffeine kick you need in a delicious chocolate snack so you can have more energy to do whatever you need to do - get through a long commute, get through the work day, or rock out at a concert! Whatever it is, you better be AWAKE!

So the big question I had: Does the caffeine negatively affect the taste of the chocolate? Is it truly delicious as they say?

The answer: a resounding yes!

Though I wouldn't say this chocolate rivals the artisan chocolatiers of Italy, it is good tasting chocolate with no weird texture or aftertaste. I let my dad try some and he was hooked! I think he ate 10 in one day (yikes, I don't recommend this amount of caffeine consumption!) and came back asking for more!

The milk chocolate is milk chocolate. What more can you say?

The dark chocolate was not too intense but a good, rich flavor.

The caramel is a milk chocolate coating with delicious oozing caramel inside! If you've ever had a

Hershey's treasure (do they exist anymore??) I liken it to those! This was probably my favorite!

So if you're going to go the office candy stash for that 3pm slump anyway, try grabbing a bite of Awake and you'll have energy to get through your day! Check them out here: https://awakechocolate.com/ and find out where you can find them or you can purchase them from their website!

Do you drink coffee or energy drinks? How many bites would you need?

Product Review: Tru Fru

Image
If you dip anything in chocolate it's instantly 10x better, right? I like freeze dried fruit and I like  love chocolate so combining the two is a recipe for success!  That's what Tru Fru has done.  The fruit is harvested fresh, freeze dried to lock in the majority of the vitamins, taste, and nutrition. The fruit is then coated in rich chocolate for a snack that is both nutritious and indulgent tasting! You don't have to choose between a nutritious snack or a tasty treat. You can have both in one. That's the concept, so let's get taste-testing! They have several different varieties including: Raspberries, Cherries, Coconut Melts, Strawberries, Bananas, and Cranberries. I first tried the Strawberry variety because chocolate covered strawberries are classic! I really liked it! The dark chocolate coating was smooth and rich while the freeze dried strawberry interior was crunchy and sweet with a slight tang. I found this to be perfectly balanced with

Must Read List

Have you been spending more time at home? Have you finished your entire list on Netflix? If the answer to these is Yes, you might be looking for some ways to fill your time. I personally love to read, especially while laying out in the sunshine. So I thought I would share some of my all time, must read books! I'm a fan of fiction so these books are all fiction! Longtime Favorite:  A Separate Peace I read this book as a freshman in high school and it never left me. The emotions are so piercing and the story so unique that I never forgot it.  Classic:  The Picture of Dorian Gray Thought provoking, emotive, and relatable to the core - this timeless classic will have you turning pages.  Female Must Read:  The Bell Jar Sylvia Plath captures a character that reached deep within my soul. It touches on mental health, feminism and more all while being extremely readable, imo.  Lived Up to the H ype:  The Fault in Our Stars John Green is a master story-teller and this book lived up to the hy
