Frances Sweets of the week ~ Malley’s Chocolates

Frances Sweets of the week ~ Malley’s Chocolates

Malley’s Chocolates from Cleveland, Ohio has adopted the motto (“Whats the motto with you!” {Lion King}) – The perfect gift that is never returned. – In trying these wonders, we found this to be true. There were 4 different varieties of milk, dark, coconut and walnut chocolates. Each one had a different texture and filling inside it. For example, the milk chocolate was filled with a soft and chewy caramel substance. Always delicious, and the box left empty.

My rating: 10/10 

Market Place.  Private Selection Barbecue Sauce

Market Place. Private Selection Barbecue Sauce

Private selection Kentucky Bourbon free sample from Kroger is an excellent BBQ sauce. The free sample is smoky, not to sweet and a hint of orange. It definitely warrants a try. Onward – it will be in the chefs pantry.
