Gourmet Gift Baskets - Review and Giveaway

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 234 Newer› Newest»

Can you say delicious!  I was excited to do a review for GourmetGiftBaskets.com even if it was the last thing I needed after Thanksgiving and all the other Holiday goodies we've been getting!  My parents live in Texas so I love finding anything that would make a great gift for them.  Kind of skeptical on sending food items to people though as you never know if they will be any good - so it was great to review the Classic Snack Basket!

The basket has so many wonderful things it took me a while to get to all of them but here is what is included (list of these products and their information is directly from the Gourmet Gift Baskets site):
· Dipping Pretzels by East Shore Specialty Foods - 6 oz. - East shore is known for their plump and salts pretzel sticks which are meant for dipping.
· Raspberry Honey Mustard Pretzel Dip by Robert Rothschild Farm - 7.8 oz. - This Robert Rothschild pretzel dip is a delicious blend of juicy raspberries, clover honey and tangy mustard. Not only does it have a distinctive flavor, but it's also all natural. Kosher and gluten free.
· Key Lime White Chocolate Chip Cookies by Brent & Sam's - 7 oz. - Made from scratch, these cookies have a crunchy style and are tangy yet sweet to the taste. The key lime flavor is perfectly balanced out by the sweetness of the white chocolate chips.
· Almond Pecan-dy Crunch by Morley Candy Makers - 9.25 oz. - This gourmet popcorn by Morley Candy Makers is renowned for being one of the best. With whole almonds and pecans, the irresistible buttery toffee evenly coats every bite.
· Salted Peanuts in Box by Feridie's - 7 oz. - Feridie's uses only the best of Virginia's peanuts, the top 2% of the crop each year. Once picked, they are roasted in pure peanut oil and salted to perfection.
· Petite Cheese Biscuits by Salem Baking Co. - 1.5 oz. - This beautiful tin is filled with savory, bite-sized biscuits that are baked with finely milled wheat flour and extra-sharp aged cheddar cheese. They are accented with the delicate crunch of toasted rice and a hint of cayenne and paprika.
· Metropolitan Trail Mix by GourmetGiftBaskets.com - 4 oz. - Our metropolitan mix is all natural and contains exotic fruit like papaya and pineapples as well as raisins, cranberries and bananas. It also has whole peanuts, almonds and pepitas.  It's a natural and delicious snack!
· Buttered Peanut Crunch by Old Dominion Peanut Company - 10 oz. - These peanut squares by Old Dominion can be found in all of our snack gift basket made with a bit of brown sugar and only the freshest grade AA butter. These ingredients combined with lightly salted peanuts makes for a scrumptious and crunchy treat.
· Peanut Roll by Dillon Candy Co. - 3 oz. - Dillion Candy starts their roll with a fluffy nougat center which is covered by a distinct layer of caramel and is then rolled in lightly salted peanuts. This amalgam of texture and flavors makes for the most delectable of peanut rolls.
· Coconut Bar by Oskri Organics - 2.2 oz. - This bar is 100% organic made of only fresh coconut and rice syrup. It has a delicious crunch and is sure to satisfy any coconut lover; that's why you'll find it in our gourmet snack foods baskets.

I loved that they had things from all sorts of different companies!  So in other words you get the BEST of everything - they don't just get the food items from one company and call it good.  They get each item from the company that is best at making that item which is GREAT news for you!  I really did like everything!  My son was more excited than normal to help mom too - really what a great kid to help me review all this good food huh!  I would have to say my absolute favorite was the Pretzels and Pretzel Mustard Dip - it was to die for.  Partially because it was different and not a treat you usually get, partially just because of the sweetness with a little kick in the mustard dip!  Although the Key Lime White Chocolate Cookies were great too and really depending on the mood maybe they would be my favorite!  My son loved the cheese biscuits, husband like the peanut brittle and peanut roll and the metropolitan mix was great for all of us.  My son and I were the only two to try the coconut bar - he said he really liked it but not as much as the other stuff.  I thought it was alright as well - but I am not a huge coconut fan and it was probably the healthiest item in the gift basket (besides the Metropolitan Mix) and if I was a big fan of healthy then maybe I wouldn't be carrying around this extra 5 lbs from the holidays!

All in all I would say Gourmet Gift Baskets are well worth the price and a deliciously original gift to give!  I am excited to have tried them and know it is something I can send to my parents without questioning the quality!  So if you are looking for a gift basket company definitely try them out - you will be glad you did.  Or if you just need an original gift idea now you know where to go!  Also, they have some great New Years Gift Baskets (or any other occasion) so make sure to check those out - here is one I was thinking would be great to get for New Years!  Champagne & Truffles!
