Ballreich's Review and Giveaway

We received this fun Special Occasion Basket from Ballreich's, a family-owned and operated company that has been making tasty snacks since 1920! ~

As soon as I opened the shipping carton, I thought about my nephew in college and how he and his roommates would LOVE to receive this basket ~ actually any snack lover would. It is overflowing with freshly made chips, pretzels and popcorn including: a one-lb. bag of Ballreich's Original Marcelled (meaning wavy) Chips, an 8-oz. bag of Pretzel Rings, and snack-size bags of Bar-B-Que, Salt & vinegar, Smokey Sweet Mesquite, Sour Cream & Onion, Cheese Popcorn and Baked Regular Chips ~ all in an bright and cheery heavy cardboard container and wrapped in a cello bag. 

I had no idea there is such a huge difference in taste when ordering potato chips direct from the manufacturer rather than purchasing off the grocer's shelf. The Sour Cream & Onion chips tasted like they just came out of the kettle, so fresh and "creamy", and not the least bit greasy. The Original Marcelled have a true salted potato flavor.

Ballreich's also makes Chocolate-covered Potato Chips ~ Hello!!! They included a small sample box for us to try. I went to taste them the day after receiving and found out my Mom had already eaten them! If you've been following this blog, you may remember my Mom is super picky when it comes to food, we have a pantry filled with snack items she wanted to try but didn't like. I asked her what she thought of the chocolate-covered chips. She said "They were good". I said I need more than that! ~ to which she replied "They were very good"... And there you have it.☺

In addition to college students, these all-occasion snack baskets are perfect for movie night, Superbowl parties, sleepovers, birthday parties, and children at sleep-away camp. Available in three sizes, we received Original which retails for $15 plus shipping. To order visit Ballreich.com.

Whatever event you may be celebrating, Ballreich's is supplying the snacks for TWO readers who will each receive the All-Occasion Original Snack Basket. Total ARV: $60 including shipping. NOTE: Contest open to Continental US residents only 18+ years of age.
