See’s Candies: My Pick for Halloween Chocolates (w. giveaway)

October 16, 2012 By Leticia

I’ve always had a love affair with See’s Candies so when I received an email asking me if I’d select some of my favorites in order to share See’s Candies with my readers, I declared to Facebook friends that it was the best pitch ever. While it may seem that I’ve sold out for chocolate, let me clarify by saying that See’s isn’t just any old candy. It’s the chocolate of my childhood and a fine holiday tradition that we carry on in our home.

Online orders of See’s arrive in an insulated box with ice packs

In our house, we have certain traditions associated with the holidays, one of which is getting See’s holiday boxes for the kids. See’s Candies’ Santa boxes, filled with Sugar Sticks, lollypops, milk chocolate foil balls, and a solid chocolate Santa, always found a way into my stocking and I could always count on a bag of shiny red chocolate hearts at my place at the table on Valentine’s Day. Even when left for college, Mom and Dad kept me well stocked with my favorites by sending a Custom Mix with assorted truffles, raspberry crèmes, Butterchews, Butterscotch Squares, Scotchmallows, and more. Carefully extracted from its crimped paper wrappers and pristine white box, each piece was savored.

These days loving grandparents in California carry on the See’s Candies holiday traditions by sending holiday chocolates from coast to coast. My mom always checks the supply of my See’s Candies before making a pilgrimage to her local store and selecting items for her beloved grandkids. With so much to choose from, it’s sometimes hard to decide but we have our favorites!

Trick or Treat Box is a favorite in our house!

For Halloween, our pick is the Trick-or-Treat Box. Nicely priced at $6.65, it won’t break the bank and features lots of premium chocolate that puts that other stuff you get on Halloween night to shame. Assorted milk and dark chocolates are nestled with milk chocolate foil balls and crispy molasses chips in a darling box. If you’re more of a chocolate purist, I highly recommend the Halloween Milk Chocolate Foil Balls at the same price point ($6.65).

New favorite: Pumpkin Pie Truffles

A new favorite are the Pumpkin Pie Truffles ($10.20). I love all things pumpkin when the weather cools and these didn’t disappoint! The smooth filling is the perfect blend of pumpkin, cinnamon, and other spices encapsulated by smooth milk chocolate.

If you’re looking for seasonal boxes, See’s Candies also has a great assortment of fall gifts.  Think ahead to Thanksgiving and make sure to order some as a hostess gift or just to have on hand in case you get some unexpected guests during the holidays.

If I’ve made your mouth water, you’re in luck!  See’s has provided a $25 gift card as a giveaway! Enter using the Rafflecopter form below and good luck!  Now if you’ll excuse me, I think I’m in need of another Pumpkin Pie Truffle!

See’s Candies provided me with candies to facilitate this review and post. All opinions are my own and come from years of personally purchasing and tasting lots of See’s!  All images courtesy of See’s.

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop
After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hos After 3 days at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, I’m leaving Memphis so very grateful to be able to support St. Jude’s mission of working to end childhood cancer. ❤️ Spending time connecting, brainstorming, and absorbing the wisdom of fellow Hero Ambassadors from around the country was inspiring because the work we do fundraising through our endurance events helps St. Jude do the incredible work they do to ensure families never receive a bill for their child’s treatment, housing, travel, or food and continue important research that will continue to reduce rates of pediatric cancer and other childhood diseases. I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me! I’d love to have you come to Memphis and run with me! Or you can always donate through the fundraising link in my bio. ❤️ #stjude #stjudeheroes #memphis #stjudedmv

As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the me As a teacher and parent, I am well aware of the mental health challenges our youth face and am really pleased to share that over the weekend I became certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid through the National Council for Mental Wellbeing! 🎉 I’ve always worked to build relationships with the young people in my life- whether my kids’ friends or students- and this certification has made me more mindful of the signs and symptoms of mental health challenges so I can have important and supportive conversations when symptoms first start to appear. 🗣️A big component of the training also included developing a self-care plan which is critical when supporting others. 💕 I’m so grateful to have taken this certification for free through the University of Maryland whose blended learning format (2 hours of self paced online work + 5 hour instructor led class over Zoom) was fantastic! 💻 The teacher in me really applauds the course design and I’m glad to join the 3 million+ in the U.S. certified in Youth Mental Health First Aid. 🏥 If this is something you’re interested in doing, University of Maryland has free courses on Saturdays or Sundays from 10-4pm between June-October. Swipe ⬅️ for more information, including a QR code with more information and a survey to take as part of the sign up process. And if you have any questions- leave a comment or DM me. I’m happy to help you get certified too! ❤️ #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #mentalhealthfirstaid #youthmentalhealth #mentalhealthawarenessmonth
