New Summertime Ice Cream Treats Giveaway

July 6, 2011 by Momstart 634 Comments

It’s National Ice Cream month and I’m ready for ice cream. Honestly, I’ve had some form of ice cream every night since this month began. I love ice cream, so does my husband, so do my children. We’re just an ice cream family. I love chocolate ice cream, peanut butter ice cream, and cookie ice cream. Ok, so I like just about any ice cream I’ve met.

In honor of Ice Cream Month, Unilever is introducing new ice cream flavors across the board. Three of their brands, Popsicle, Breyers, and Klondike are releasing new summertime ice cream treat flavors.

For Breyers, the Breyers Blast line is growing. Moms will love the new Breyers Blasts! line, which features delicious mix-ins from America’s best-loved candy and cookie brands blasted into every bite. We let the kids pick out the flavor they wanted and they chose, Oreo Cookies & Cream Chocolate.

Other Breyers Blast flavors to choose from:

Mrs Fields Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dough
Whoppers The Original Malted Milk Balls
Chips Ahoy! Chocolate Chip Cookies
Oreo Cookies & Cream Mint (my husband wanted to get this flavor)
Mrs Fields Chocolate Fudge Brownie
Mrs Fields Mint Fudge Brownie
Waffle Cone Hershey’s Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Oreo Cookies & Cream
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Snickers Caramel Swirl Chunk
Heath English Toffee

And I loved the Breyer’s Blast Chocolate Oreo flavor. I loved the quantity and size of all the Oreo cookies pieces within the chocolate ice cream.

For Klondike moms and dads will rejoice at the sheer awesomeness of the new Klondike varieties such as the new Mint Chocolate Chip bar and What the Fudge? Brownie sandwich.

Personally I can’t wait to try the What the Fudge. MMM, currently I have the Klondike Heath bars in my freezer. I love the Heath, and I was very tempted to get the Klondike Caramel Pretzel flavor, that sweet and salty variation is always a favorite. Other new varieties for Klondike:

Klondike Mint Chocolate Chip Bar
Klondike Rocky Road Bar
Klondike Choco Taco

My Kids are crazy about the Popsicles right now. Your kids will go bonkers for the new Popsicle offerings (I know mine will)! The new Jolly Rancher Awesome Twosome and AirHeads ice pops are colorful and bursting with the same bold fruity flavors that kids know and love from Jolly Rancher and AirHeads candy.

What family doesn’t have a REESE’S peanut butter lover? And now there’s REESE’S Peanut Butter Ice Cream Cups! These bars feature peanut butter ice cream with a REESE’S peanut butter swirl dipped in a milk chocolate flavored coating. Yum! Yum! Yum!

This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winner, ellen.

We received samples to facilitate this review.

Did You See The Smith Winter Mitchell Ads Debut During Mad Men?

September 15, 2010 by Momstart 2 Comments

So, did you see the smart advertising with Mad Men? I missed them just as I missed Mad Men, but I remember seeing a ton of tweets about how Good Mad Men was. One of my favorite PR agencies sent me this information and I wanted to know what your thoughts were on it?

The Smith Winter Mitchell Agency stands for many things, but no mission is more important than always expanding the creative and entertainment boundaries of advertising. Recently, Smith Winter Mitchell Agency has hit a hot streak landing a host of big accounts, which include Dove, Breyers, Hellmann’s, Klondike, Suave Hair, and Vaseline. All really great brands if you ask me.

The six vignettes aired during the show and are available online, in various places including on a dedicated Smith Winter YouTube channel, which can be found here: www.youtube.com/smithwinter.

Check out the Breyers Ad:

The historical angle of the branded vignettes plays perfectly in the context of the series, as the vignettes were created specifically for the environment in which they will air. I think it’s right out of a man’s world. Do you notice how the woman is wearing pink and brings all the color to the room? Makes me wish I watched Mad Men just to laugh at it.

What did you think? Yeah, I’m in an advertising mood today if you can see the theme with the posts. LOL.

I received a few product samples in exchange for this post. This in no way affects my opinion.

Breyers Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream Bars and Cookies Giveaway

July 19, 2010 by Momstart 482 Comments

I had the opportunity to team up with Mom Central and try the new Breyers Ice Cream Chocolate Chip Cookie Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches. I ran out to Albertsons today to buy some of the Smooth & Dreamy Ice Cream and had one as soon as I put the kids down for bed. I gave one to my dh and well, he didn’t like it, but I had just devoured mine and was quite ready to eat another. Yeah, I know, this doesn’t fit in with my healthy eating, but a girl needs to take a break every now and then or she’ll just go crazy.

Good News is that they are lower in calories than most of their ice cream is. When it comes to ice cream, I’ve never been very good at a healthy serving size, so I know I should have just stopped at one, I just couldn’t.

With six rich and creamy flavors, including Chocolate Caramel Brownie, Vanilla Caramel Chip, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Vanilla Fudge Brownie, and Triple Chocolate Chip, Breyers Smooth & Dreamy bars and sandwiches offer something for everyone. And with no artificial flavors or colors, 160 calories or less and 4-6g of fat per serving, and delicious mix-ins and swirls, these bars and sandwiches make for delicious snacks and dreamy (yes I just did that) desserts.

Truvia™ rebiana is the key ingredient in Truvia™ natural sweetener, the first great tasting, natural, zero calorie sweetener born from the leaves of the stevia plant.

In my house we call these Yogurt packs the cookie yogurt. Adding the cookie crumbs in the lid combines wholesome yogurt with the childlike happiness cookies create. Leaving my children smiling from ear to ear and asking for more. That’s one of the wonderful things that i love, I have to watch the calorie intake for my kids, because we don’t get enough really hard play time in. These packs are the only calorie-controlled yogurt products that are naturally sweetened, providing all the taste of full-calorie low-fat yogurt but without all the calories and sugar.

To me, they were satisfyingly the perfect serving size. Sometimes I don’t feel like eating a full size of regular yogurt.

Cheesecake Yogurt with Graham Cookie Pieces

Strawberry Yogurt with 100% Natural Low Fat Granola
