National Cookie Week & Emily’s Chocolates

I’ve had some major computer problems the last few days (everything seems to be fine now, knock on wood!) and wasn’t able to post about this in a very timely matter, but it’s National Cookie Week! To celebrate that and the launch of their newly designed website, Emily’s Chocolates is offering free shipping on online orders of $30 or more until Nov. 23, 2007 (that’s today!). Emily’s is also celebrating their 20th anniversary this year!

I was sent a very generous box of goodies and I can tell you they’re amazing. The nuts are fresh, and the chocolate is smooth and creamy. These would be perfect for holiday gift giving, birthday presents, thank yous, etc:

Keepsake Snowman with Milk Chocolate Covered Cashews
Price: $8.99 (4 oz)

Spread some holiday cheer to coworkers, friends or “Secret Santa’s” with Emily’s Keepsake Snowman. Emily’s has repackaged its chocolate covered cashews inside of a plush doll for a limited edition holiday gift. Emily’s prides itself on making creative, quality treats exemplified by this product. The cashews are imported from India, roasted to perfection and then covered in rich milk chocolates.

Milk Chocolate Covered Macadamia Nuts

The crunch of big, buttery macadamia nuts coated with sweet milk chocolate makes this confection one of Emily’s most popular gifts.

This treat would also be the perfect addition to any gift basket as it pairs well with wine and coffee.
