Review: Valerie Confections “Supernatural” Themed Chocolates

I recently received the Supernatural: The Complete Series box set (review). When I opened the box I was surprised to find a cold pack inside the big brown box, then I discovered a sweet surprise, Warner Bros. had included a box of “Supernatural” themed chocolates from Valerie Confections. If you knew me, you would know that I have a major sweet tooth. Needless to say, I was thrilled. As I slipped off the gold bow off of the white box and opened the top I discovered brown tissue paper sealed with a logo sticker. Then, I carefully opened it to find the coolest chocolates with a “Supernatural” theme. Of course, I wouldn’t be doing my job if I didn’t taste them all (I love my job). In all, there were eighteen chocolates. There were two types. One type was square and had a crisp, smooth chocolate shell with a flavored chewy toffee inside. The other had a chocolate shell that

Children Want to be Scared

Halloween, the REAL most wonderful time of the year, has passed. In the midst of all the ghosts, goblins, clowns, and princesses that braved their way up my driveway and into my horror-themed garage to get their fun-sized chocolate bar, I had a realization…kids want to be scared. Mine was the only house in the small town that was, well…a little overkill (no pun intended) decorated for the holiday. Severed heads gory enough to draw stink-eyed stares and comments from neighbors, blood spatter, eerie candles, a smoke machine and various other ornamentation to set the mood of terror covered the area where nearly a hundred children came for their treat. My decorations were not new; neither was my highly elaborate costume. The new part was the fact that after about 45 minutes of trick-or-treating almost every costumed-visitor or their accompanying parents mentioned that kids all over were making comments like: “we were told that we have to come to the
