Our big fat Jelly Belly Event!

Mark your calendars -The Jelly Belly Van is coming to The Candy Basket on Monday, September 21 !!

The forty foot, fully wrapped Jelly Belly® on Tour Bus will be hosting a sampling event this coming Monday from 10 am-2 pm at our sweet little store!

We're inviting everyone to spin the Beanboozled™ Wheel and take the challenge to compare some of their tastier, most popular flavors with their craziest ones (grass? pepper?).

The good JB folks are offering prizes with purchases, free samples, a drawing, and Lots of Fun!

We look forward to this special event for everyone who can come by on Monday, September 21 from 10:00 to 2:00.

Goodness, do we feel fortunate to have this terrific visit! Hope to see you there!

Sweet Jelly Belly dreams!

September Santa!

Santa's coming for a September Sale! Starts Wednesday....runs through Saturday. Lots of Christmas items for sale...up to half off some! We hope you'll stop by and pick up some of these early bargains. We need to make room for more!

Gone in 60 Seconds!

Actually, that's the name of a wonderful dip we are sampling all day Saturday!
The name says it all...it really is fab, and once you start eating it, it's hard to stop!

We got the recipe from the Prairie Gypsies, a trio of talented Oklahoma epicureans who have a thriving business in the metro area. They also produce the fantastic Red Hot Lover Pepper Jam. We have been selling their products, including this incredible hot jam for several years. It's great with cream cheese, too, but we like to go the extra mile and do the "Gone in 60 Seconds" dip.

Tomorrow (Saturday, the 5th), we're sampling this dip/jam combo until it's gone, and if you come in and mention that you saw this on our blog, we'll give you 20% off the price of the jam (regularly $6.99). This is just what you'll want to have on hand tomorrow evening for the OU season opener!

See y'all Saturday!

My mouth is watering just LOOKING at the pictures of these fabulous Godiva truffles which are arriving tomorrow!
They are the tried and true Pumpkin Spice truffle, which is like eating (really good) pumpkin pie in a Godiva chocolate crust.....the new Black Raspberry truffle, with a wonderful tart raspberry and sweet Godiva white and milk chocolate shell...and their newest Autumnal offering - a Cinnamon Pear truffle!
You'll have to wait for us to do some, um, quality control, of course! After our staff has sampled and deemed delicious, we'll have these fabulous fall truffles available to you by the piece or we can pack you a box.

Come and get 'em!

Bee Happy!

How can you help but smile?!?! These solar operated dancing flowers are sure to put a smile on anyone's face! We're thinking of lining them up in the front window and letting them dance all day! Although they are useful for nothing (other than smiles and good cheer), we feel these Bee Happy Dancing Flowers will be a hit on window sills in Metro area kitchens! They're on their way, and will cost under $10. Colors are assorted, and we're going to have a ball with them.
Speaking of smiles and good cheer, some of our favorite smiles come from customers who actually get a sample of our (current) favorite CFC chocolates. They're made in Oklahoma by a fabulous British chocolatier, and we are happy to sample out some of their sweet goodness. CFC stands for Champagne, Fragola, Chocolat (Champagne, Strawberries and chocolate), and we have their signature CFC piece in both milk and dark chocolates. It's okay to ask for a sample.....but we draw the line at begging for more!
More later......
Have a happy week, and come see us.
