You might recall that we gave some love to Jordan’s Skinny Mixes sugar-free syrups a while back, so we were naturally thrilled to received a goodie box in the mail packed with new products from their line of Skinny no-guilt sweeteners. Let me introduce you to new Salted Caramel Sauce,  Dark Chocolate Espresso Sauce, and Maple Bourbon Pecan Syrup as the perfect guilt-free addition to your morning routine.

MilkBoy Swiss Chocolate is a brand I know from their many years exhibiting at the Summer Fancy Food Show, where their extra-rich and creamy chocolate bars win all the Sofi Awards. If you’re wondering why that is, it’s because MilkBoy chocolate is made with sustainably-farmed milk sourced from the Swiss alpine mountain region, so it just makes sense that  it is the best, because who else is doing that?

The most significant changes in life are often unplanned. During the pandemic lockdown, I was able to lose 10 to 12 pounds and have miraculously kept it off for the past two years. That kind of weight loss for a not-super-active woman of my age (who, let’s be honest, loves food) is a big deal.

When it comes to flavor preferences, chocolate is a bit like wine; some prefer a bold red over a delicate white, just as chocolate lovers may favor bitter-sweet dark chocolate over the creamier, sweeter milk chocolate. Ultimately, it’s nice to have lots of choices so that you can suit your own taste and have room to experiment. RED chocolate, makers of delectable low sugar chocolate bars, understand what variety is all about.

In our previous review of RED Chocolate, we revealed how RED is sweetened exclusively with zero-calorie, plant-based Stevia and naturally-occurring melon sugars, giving it an amazing taste and texture, with a reduced amount of fat. Thanks to the absence of processed sugar, RED’s dark chocolate varieties contain up to 50% fewer calories, while Red’s milk chocolate bars’ calorie count is reduced by up to 35%. Now, RED has introduced a new variety – BLONDE Caramelized White Chocolate — that upholds the brand’s commitment to zero-percent added sugar, high quality ingredients and fabulously indulgent flavor. Just wait until you taste it!

After spending four months in the house, you may agree that the current quarantine situation has not been kind to your waistline. Most of us are way less physically active these days, and it’s so easy to reach for the comfort of favorite foods in times of stress. As an admitted foodie, I can especially relate to the temptation to over-snack while working from home. As we all attempt to reacquaint ourselves with self-control, it’s vital to have snacks and sweet treats on hand that you can indulge in while staying on your diet — and if that can include tempting chocolates, how can it be wrong? Please allow me to introduce you to a brand of high-quality chocolate called Red that is reduced calorie, with no added sugar, and insanely delicious. Yes, it exists.
