As I sit here wondering how exactly I am going to start this review I 
have a truffle in my mouth…a Mint Cookie Dough Truffle do be exact. YUMMM! Now, why should YOU care that I am eating a truffle…well because that is what this review is all about! I ran across the store Sweet Treats by Maryann as I was looking for chocolate…I love chocolate, it is tied 
with Coke Zero in my addiction category, those are all my top addiction. So being very interested in all of the great looking chocolates Maryann had pictured I asked to review her treats and pass the secret that is Sweet Treats by Maryann on to you…my readers.
So back to my truffle which has long since been eaten…I’ll pop in another one just to help with the writing process. The mint cookie dough filling in these are wonderful; it basically melts in 
your mouth and doesn’t leave that really strong aftertaste a lot of mint products do. The chocolate is smooth and gives a nice contrast to the slight texture present in the filling…perfect. Those truffles are good…and addicting, they leave me wanting more. And since I just finished my last giving you, my dear readers, a vicarious experience of taste I don’t have anymore…oh well there is always Maryann’s store. I now have my eye on the Peanut Butter Cups, Nut Clusters and Cherry Chip Truffle.
This is a special GIVEAWAY!!! because it is a package, not only will the winner receive a Basket of Sweets for their Sweetie from Sweet Treats by Maryann, but they will also receive a 6 gorgeous handmade and handcrafted Valentine's Day cards from Andrea at Take it Smiling!

I'd love to dive head-first into a box of Sweet Treat by Maryann's "Turtle Bites." We usually make fudge and other chocolate candy at Christmas. I bought the ingredients, but we ran out of time and didn't make them. PLEASE save this year from becoming a "turtle" disaster.
Wonderful giveaway. Thanks!

I can't resist chocolate covered graham crackers...yummy, or white chocolate pretzels...this is a bad site for my waistline! On the other site, I liked the seasonal cards of the trees...I have such an affinity to trees in any season, but her cards were lovely. I also liked reading the article about bottled water....it kind of blows the preconceived idea we have of it being better for us.
