My Review:

Spring is here, and with spring comes  a lot of gift giving holidays. Mothers' Day Father's Day birthdays, anniversaries, and soon it will be graduation time. What kinds of gifts can you get, there are so many ideas out there.. Well I have a great gift idea for a chocolate lover. Now these are not the run of the mill plain old chocolate treats that is for sure... The chocolate treats from Captivating Confections are the most delicious and unique treats I have had in a good while.

I was able to try, some of the wonderful treats they have on the site, first lets start off with the coconut chocolate dipped pretzel rods. I loved the rods, they reminded me of the islands. I loved the milk chocolate and the coconut it went well together. And the pretzel was a nice salty touch. My daughter just loved this as well. She is very open with trying new thing and liked the pretzel rod very much.

The Becka's Brownie bites, were so unique! Now I have never had a chocolate covered brownie before, wow! This was so creamy and chocolaty... A real chocolate lovers dream. They were just the consistency I love in a brownie, soft and fudgey. If mom loves brownies, then make sure you pick this special treat up for her.

And last but definitely not least was my family favorite Tashe's cake truffles. A cake truffle? Yes, they were as good as that sounds. I was able to try two of the flavors, Lemon cake Truffles. Just imagine a tart and sweet lemon pie wrapped in chocolate. The chocolate worked well with the lemon flavor, this was my husbands favorite. He loved this so much that he asked me to hide them from him so he would not eat them all in one sitting. Yes he loved them that much. The other flavor was the Carrot Cake Truffle, this was nicely spiced and really reminded me of the holidays.

If you are looking for a great gift for the special someone this Mother's Day I would recommend checking out the great sweets on Captivating Confections you will surely find something that special someone will love.
