M&M Store Las Vegas!

 

If you've ever wanted to be surrounded by millions of M&M's then the M&M Store in Las Vegas is the place to go! There isn't just one floor of M&M chocolates and merchandise, but four including a level that has an M&M themed race car you can take photos with. It is free to enter and take photos with some of their displays, but the cost of all the merchandise and candies will vary & can be a bit expensive. Yikes! I couldn't believe the amount we had spent on a bag of mix your own M&Ms, but we were on vacation and it was a lot of fun putting the mix together. 

They have a giant wall of M&M's all separated by different colors or different flavors, you can find bright pink M&Ms or even black M&M's along with regular chocolate filled, peanut filled or coffee flavor. There is really an endless amount of different mixes you can create using the tubes on their M&M's wall. It is just under $10 for a half pound, depending on which mixture you go with the weights will vary for example the peanut filled M&M's are pretty heavy. They also have a station where you can personalize your M&M's with a name or even a photo printed on each M&M. 

Aside from a wide range of candy treats to eat, you'll also find assorted merchandise like clothing, pillows, keychains and more. There is also a small area on the fourth floor that features chocolates from another chocolate company based in Nevada. The fourth floor also offers some great views of the surrounding hotels & casinos like New York New York which is located right across the street. All of the staff members we encountered at this spot were all friendly and very helpful. It was a fun mini stop on our vacation and neat to check out. 

🎲 I will be sharing some other family friendly spots around Las Vegas including other FREE things to do, so if you want to check them out keep an eye out for more posts or type in "Things to do in Las Vegas" in the search bar of my blog. I also have posts on some great places to check out in California & Arizona. 

Pink Panda a healthier gummy candy alternative!

 

I've always been a fan of gummy candies, I know that not everyone is a big fan of gummies & they prefer something else but I wanted to share a brand with you called Pink Panda. Pink Panda was founded by a guy named Noah who loves gummy candy, but he wanted something that would fit in with the healthier lifestyle he was trying to lead. Thus he began his search & ultimately ended up making Pink Panda which is a plant based candy that has 1/2 the typical number of calories gummy candies have and it has 95% less sugar without missing any delicious flavors. 

I recently received two bags of all three flavors they offer to try out with my family. I received Astro Blaters which are sweet & chewy, Peachy Hearts that are sweet & chewy plus the Treasure Chews that are sweet & chewy. Each bag is one serving size, there are only 2 grams of sugar per bag & 90 calories! Each gummy is about the size of my thumb nail which is a good snack size.

Astro Chews - I love the fun shapes in this bag, all of the gummies are shaped like stars, moons, etc. The flavors included in this mixture are Blue Raspberry, Cherry, Lemon, Green Apple and Orange. 

Peachy Hearts - These are of course shaped like hearts! One of my favorite road trip candies growing up has always been peach rings, so I was excited to try these out as part of the review. 

Treasure Chews - Another fun mixed bag of shapes & flavors, this one doesn't have the outside sugar coating on it like the other two bags. 

My favorite of the three was the Astro chews, I thought it would be the peach hearts but surprisingly the peach hearts I found to be significantly more sour than the astro chews even though they were the sweet option of the two. I also really enjoyed the treasure chews, they kind of reminded me of a slightly harder fruit snack. The bags are big enough and filling enough that I had no problem splitting a bag between my two children and myself, with each of us getting a good amount of gummies. 

I will be including a bag of the Treasure Chews in next month's Beauty & The Book giveaway bundle so keep an eye out for that if you'd like to win!

Treats Subscription Box Review!

****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used. The opinions are solely my own and may vary from others.The products mentioned below have been provided by Treats for the review free of charge.****

I don't know a single person who doesn't like some kind of snack whether it is chocolate, nuts or pretzels everyone has their own favorite, I personally love chocolate covered almonds and cashews the most but I am always up for trying new treats. What is a better way to try new treats then to subscribe to a subscription that specializes in providing it's subscribers with new and interesting treats from around the world? A Subscription box called "Treats" does just that, they go out an seek new, interesting and yummy treats to share with their subscribers. I received the chance to test out one of these boxes and will be hosting a giveaway for one in December so remember to keep an eye out for the post. My packaged arrived quickly and included a very sweet note on an adorable card which can be seen below.





I've received snack subscription boxes in the past, and let me start off by saying "WOAH". I've never had a snack subscription box arrive that has felt as heavy as this which indicates there is some good stuff in the box. The box I received featured snacks from Serbia & Croatia, there were twelve different types of snacks/treats in this box, a few had more than one of that specific snack in the box. I also had a bonus chocolate hippo from Germany in my box that was almost too cute to eat. The subscriptions are $12.95 for a standard box or $24.95 for the premium box which is the one I received. For the price I can say it is completely worth it as the amount of snacks you receive come out to more than what you pay, plus you get to experience new treats you may have never known about otherwise. I like the variety of snacks included it wasn't just all chocolate or all chip like products like other subscription boxes.



There were pretzel sticks, chocolate covered marshmallows which were like smores, chocolate cookies which were similar to macaroons, chocolate, and more! If I had to select a favorite out of this box I would say I liked the Tortica Wafer the most because it reminded me of a waffle ice cream cone and a Kit-Kat at the same time. My fiance really enjoyed the Kidy Coconut Desert because he is a big coconut candy fan, the kidy coconut desert had a texture like a twix bar but had coconut instead of caramel. The kids pretty much liked everything because they like chocolate, between the four of us there was plenty of snacks to go around and we had snacks to try for about a week before everything was gone. If you are someone who likes to snack but limits how many snacks they eat in a day then this box will last quite some time for you, if you have more than one person in the house it can also last a few days after you receive it depending on how much you want to eat at once. I highly recommend checking out their website if you are a big fan of snacks, their boxes would also make a wonderful gift for the holidays.

What is your favorite kind of Snack?

I recently had the chance to work with a company called Guylian Belgian Chocolate I was surprised to see they sent me a large Variety of chocolates so much that I gave some away to my friends & family because we weren't able to eat it all It all lasted about two weeks.My grandmother liked the chocolate & the fact the chocolate was Sugar free so much she ate two whole boxes in about ten minutes."Guylian Artisanal Belgian Chocolates provide the ultimate experience for chocolate lovers.

Sarris Candies Review

Like stated below I finally have a day off from work so I am going to try & pack in as many posts as I can so that I can be a little caught up on my work.I have another great review to share with you from a company called Sarris Candies I was sent a small package of Pretzel Slims which only have 100 Calories in each package,What are Pretzel Slims? They are Chocolate Covered Pretzels.

Here is a little info from their website "Big on taste, small on calories, this 100 Calorie Pretzel Slim package is long overdue. Designed for the calorie counter, these chocolate covered Pretzels are a guilt free treat. These packages come as an individual serving or save on both calories and cash, and order our value packs of six or twenty four!" The pretzel sticks were very good,it was the perfect mixture of chocolate & salt.Each package contained about 10 pretzel sticks which is more than enough for 2-3 people to share & still be happy/full from their share of the pretzel sticks.The Pretzel slims were a huge hit in my house even my picky two year old enjoyed eating these [well most of the time she did] they were a yummy little snack just two or three sticks is enough chocolate to fulfill your chocolate craving the six packs I was sent lasted almost a week & a half.I have never tried Sarris Candies so I wasn't sure what to expect but the results were better then I was expecting the pretzels were melt in your mouth perfect.****This was not a paid post and my honest opinion was used.
