Mrs. Cavanaugh Chocolate Review

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!



Time was when Marie Cavanaugh spent hours in her South Dakota farmhouse each Christmas season making pecan rolls and homemade chocolates for holiday gifting.
“It started when my aunt sent her pecan-rolls recipe,” Mrs. Cavanaugh recalled. “I gave the recipe my own touch and started making the yummy specialties.  Then I began dipping chocolates.  Our friends and neighbors loved these treats, encouraging me to start a candy business.  Finally, I decided it might be a good idea.'”

Her husband George and children Carla, Lorraine, Calvin, Colene and Genise rallied, helping Mrs. Cavanaugh fill demands for her homemade sweets.
...In 1972, the family moved to Utah, leaving good friends and their beloved cattle ranch.  

 “It was a difficult decision, especially for George,” Mrs. Cavanaugh said. “He was excited about making our new venture, which we chose to call Mrs. Cavanaugh's Candies, a great success.  We felt Utah was blessed with good chocolates and that we would enjoy - and could compete with - those who pride themselves on making excellent chocolates.”
Millions of pounds of chocolates later, Mrs. Cavanaugh's candies have earned a reputation for unquestionable excellence....

My Review:


 I was a little kid when I opened the mail and found this chocolate!  The different varieties they sent me made mouth water.  Even if I was in the process of watching all the food that went into my mouth I was still going to sample and enjoy these chocolates.   I didn't feel as guilty knowing that this company does not use preservatives in their cooking.  

 My husband and I waited for our children to go to sleep and then we opened the chocolate box.  (Parents... I know you have been there too!   I'm not the only one who didn't want to feed their kids chocolate late at night and be sneaky.)  My husband and I had fun trying to figure out what each chocolate was before sampling it.  

The next day we were traveling and my husband grabbed one of the candy bars.   I was amazed at how much caramel was in it.   It was like a Milky Way but WAY better.  My kids both enjoyed splitting the Mint candy bar and my husband scarfed down almond coconut and the roasted almond.  

I was also browsing their website and was thrilled with all the different varieties of chocolates and other treats.   There are so many things to try and I'm sure you will enjoy sampling some too.  

Disclaimer-  I received free samples from Mrs. Cavanaugh in exchange for an honest review.  I was not paid for this review and all opinions are 100% mine.

Common Mistakes Made When Writing a Will

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
  Writing a will should, by all means, be a simple thing. You want to make sure that your assets are being left to your loved ones and that your final wishes are being fulfilled. Usually, they are rather straightforward, but that doesn’t mean that they are entirely foolproof. Here, we’re going to look at some common issues that can lead to disputes or delays in carrying out your will. Image - CC0 License Not Having It Witnessed Correctly One of the most common mistakes when writing a will is not having it witnessed correctly. Wills generally require the signatures of at least two witnesses who are not beneficiaries or spouses of beneficiaries. If the will is not witnessed in accordance with legal requirements, it may be declared invalid, meaning your estate would be distributed according to intestacy laws, which may not align with your wishes. It’s important to follow the witnessing procedures exactly as outlined in your jurisdiction to ensure the will is legally enforceable. Chan...

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
A big thank you to Andy who sent me some amazing cookies to try to conduct my review.  :)  All opinions expressed are 100 % mine and I was not paid for this review.   About Sweet Andy's Cookies: The “Thank You” Cookie In 2009, Andrew (Sweet Andy) found himself in a position like so many others at that time in our past; the economy was quickly spiraling downward and he had left his job in the financial services industry. Although Andy had an MBA in Banking and Finance and had even written a book entitled, “A Guide to Taking Control of Your Investments”, he found himself to be disenchanted with the financial industry and left to pursue “other work.”  The “other work” that Andrew pursued was with the Church and did not provide financial support for the family.  During this time Andy and his wife, Lissa, struggled to find other forms of income. They did what they could for themselves and their five children but often it was not enough. But there were...
