Pamela's Products

Thursday we received a large, mysterious package; addressed to me from Pamela's Products.
I hadn't ordered anything and neither had Paul.  While we enter any blog giveaway for gluten free items we read, neither of us had won any, or if we had, we hadn't given our name or address to anyone.
There was NO information about WHY we had received it!  We even called our moms to check if it was a gift.  Nothing.  But, we were not going to complain when we saw what was inside.  We'll even share our own review on the items we received.


Simplebites Extreme Chocolate Mini Cookies. Not only was there a regular package, there was a big box of individually wrapped cookies. We had some of those while revealing the rest of the loot.

These really were extremely chocolate-y!  You know it's good when, the next morning, you find empty wrappers in the kitchen.  Yes, the children went downstairs in the morning and helped themselves to some more cookies.  I put them on the top shelf of the pantry.  By the end of the day, the parents had a couple as well.


Friday afternoon, I noticed that there was a little snip out of the top of a now open bag of Chocolate Chunk Cookie Mix.  I think Cavell was a little disappointed when he only saw powder inside.  Paul made the cookies that night.  We really like that we only had to add a stick of butter and an egg.  Sometimes when we buy a gluten free mix, we feel like we have to add everything to the mix except the rice flour!  The bag says it makes 18-20 cookies.  What!?!?  We used our regular, #50, cookie scoop and only had enough dough for 12.  They did take the whole 20 minutes to bake, which seemed a long time for this size cookie, but was just right for these.

These were very yummy.  Paul liked them enough that the children did not get to try any!  We loved the cocoa powder throughout the cookie, and may try it in our own recipe.  We loved the huge volume of chocolate chunks, and will have to add more chocolate to our own recipe.  Really, I wouldn't mind buying a bag to have on hand in the pantry.  But, $6 for 12 cookies?  We wouldn't be making them every week.

We will share the rest in future posts.
