Wow, who would have thought that Product Reviews could be this fun! But… don’t let me get ahead of myself.
In the last couple of weeks you have heard be rave about my new obsession: Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate ice cream. I am not a sweets person. Never was and don’t plan to be either. But DC [Dark Chocolate] is an exception.
How did I ever let it happen to me?!
About a year ago Demetrye and I were vacationing in Bend, OR and I had a craving. Wonderful as my hubby is, he ran out to the store to get me chocolate ice cream that I favored at that time [I won’t mention it here, but it was vegan also]. He came back, beaming from ear to ear with the spoil in his hands… only it turned out to be the WRONG ice cream! It was Coconut Bliss Dark Chocolate.

Oh, no! What was I gonna do?
Good thing I decided to give it a try. After the first two spoonfuls I was hooked. Yes, like dangling up in the air, feet off the ground HOOKED. The ice cream was creamy, rich, chocolaty… [did I mention it was DARK chocolate?!], it was ORGANIC and the whole pint was MINE! I’ve become very possessive of my ice cream since. [How could something so WRONG (Demetrye's mistake) be SO RIGHT?!]
That was one of the best mistakes Demetrye has ever made. And ever since, Demetrye and I have been battling over whose ice cream is better [mind you, I never dip into his, but he always ends up getting some of mine].
So, a couple of weeks ago wonderful folks from Luna and Larry’s Coconut Bliss sent me a couple of coupons to try their different flavors [since I am stuck on only one], and one [1] coupon to give away to a lucky reader of my blog. YEAH!!! That’s a double win in my book.
But, since I am a very generous person [and I am not just tooting my horn, you will see that in a moment], I decided to spread Blissful Love with others. I held on [as hard as it might have been for me] to those coupons until last week’s Cooking Class. I sent out a quick survey to the participants and we decided to try Dark Chocolate [yeah for me], and Pineapple Coconut. I actually wanted to try Cherry Amaretto, but their votes outweighed mine. [sigh]
