Before you watch this video, know that I’m better suited for print.
This wasn’t the first video by the way. I made another one that was 8 minutes long and was just me eating, and oohing and aaahing a lot. But I thought that was cruel of me, to show how much I was enjoying all the Sensations by Compliments goodies from Sobeys. It might have caused me to lose a few friends, considering I wasn’t sharing.
You should also know that when the opportunity for this blog came up I jumped at it, not just because of the confections, although, not gonna lie, that was a major PLUS, but because I’m actually a big Sobeys fan.
The owners of the Sobeys where I shop are one of the most community minded couples I know. For me, that’s a big draw. Second, I like that I don’t have to traipse through the automotive department to get my strawberries. You get what I’m saying here, right? It’s an actual grocery store. No underwear, toys or tires. I’m also a Club Sobeys member and I love the savings I get. You see? I’m a legitimate, card carrying Sobey’s fan. I say it’s karma that I was lucky enough to taste their confections just in time for the holidays.
So back to the sweet stuff. I am not kidding about the Sensations by Compliments Milk Chocolate Covered Toffee Sponge. Run, don’t walk, to get this. Then hide it. It’s ok. There are lots of other things for sharing. Like the Swiss Biscuit Collection. My favorite was the Triangolos. Oh, who am I kidding? They were all good. Biscuit heaven I tell you. HEAVEN.
Because I’m a trooper I made sure I tasted everything for you....multiple times. The Butter Fudge? Crumbly, buttery, and sugary! Hello, all the things good fudge should be. As if that weren’t enough, they also sell it dipped in chocolate. I know what you’re thinking. “Did she hide that too?” Maybe.
Then there’s the Belgian Chocolate Flaked Truffles? Holy Hannah, these are so good and they’re from Belgium. What? You don’t get Belgian Chocolates from Mississauga now do you? For gifts this year for the bus driver, the coaches, myself....I’m giving the Hazelnut Chocolate Crunch or the Belgian Assorted Chocolate Gift Box. Told you I was giving.
I fancy myself a bit of a Suzy Homemaker, especially around the holidays, and I make pretty much everything from scratch. Except confections. Confections are hard and really, really time consuming. This year I plan on putting Sobeys Sensations by Compliments out through the holidays, mixed with my own home baked goodies and passing them off as my own. Won’t my friends and family be impressed!? Kidding. I am so kidding. Maybe.
Finally, there is one small matter of the missing Swiss Milk Chocolate and Nougat Bar. I know who took it. I know why this person took it. I think this person needs to admit they have a problem with Swiss chocolate nougat bars, *cough Bill cough* and then we can get them the help they so desperately need. I can only surmise that it was exceptional because not a trace of it was found anywhere. Apparently, the culprit has a better hiding place than I do.
Do I think you’re going to enjoy Sobeys' Sensations by Compliments? Does Canada get cold in the winter? Of course you’re going to love them. Find a good hiding spot....I mean, er, share your Sensations by Compliments with your favourite people.
