Gelato At CrEATe in Sandy #Utah

CrEATe is the most amazing dessert stop I've been to in a very long time! Located off Quarry Bend Drive across from Walmart Super Center in Sandy, this is a non-franchise, family-owned shop, where the owners take great pride in everything from the ingredients to the atmosphere! It is a design-your-own dessert bar where you choose from their delicious basic desserts and then add one or some of their many glazes, toppings or fillings. Their basic desserts include but are not limited to: donuts, cronuts, crepes, gelato, and cookies!

Decor: The decor is definitely a treat! Cozy little corners with plenty of cushions allow one to admire the steam punk vibe of the establishment. 

 Gelato: If you've never tasted fresh, homemade, whole ingredient gelato, you haven't lived! Made fresh and on-site, I would wager to say there isn't any better gelato in the area. I know I haven't tasted anything this good! The gelato is heavenly and add-ins are included in the very reasonable price. There are easily 12 - 16 freshly made flavors at any time. Fresh Mango, Pistachio, Carmel, Chocolate, Berry, etc. These are heavenly tasting! And they are all gluten-free, which to me, is an added bonus! Made with milk instead of cream, gelato is less fattening than ice-cream. Again let me emphasize, the ingredients are whole and non-artificial. Have you ever tasted pistachio gelato with real pistachio? It's to die for!
Drinking Chocolate: There is hot chocolate and then there is drinking chocolate. They have a chocolate drink made with real Belgium chocolate and you just can't call it hot chocolate because of the richness and goodness of the drink! I fell in love with it!
Pastries: Choose from freshly made donuts, cronuts, cookies, crepes, waffle cones, and more. They are delicious and the things you can create are just limited by your own imagination! They also sell their donuts and pastries by the dozen for office parties and other occasions.

If you are unsure of what exactly to create, the staff is very helpful and friendly and will help you make something just right for you! Whether you're out for a fun evening, want a quiet nook to work and have a snack, or want to taste some amazing desserts for a very reasonable price, try CrEATe.

Gourmet Gift Baskets - It's The Brownie Sampler! #Giveaway

 I feel that Gourmet Gift Baskets is the go-to company for the best quality gift baskets and now, I can tell you that they are the absolute butter best when you want to ship someone delicious baked goods! 

I was shipped the Brownie Sampler Pack, with each one of the six flavors.  It wrecked havoc on my waistline, but I didn’t care at the time.  My husband and I divided them each day.  But I was bad once and ate the Belgian Chocolate Chunk and the Cheesecake Brownie on my own.   It was a guilty, but fun pleasure.  After all, I rationalized, I was the one who had to do the review!  I really had to be sure that I got it right in order to provide an honest opinion.

Six different types of brownies come in Sampler option (The Gourmet Sampler has two of each):

• Belgian Chocolate Chunk

•  White Chocolate Macadamia Blonde

• Butterscotch Blonde

• Cheesecake

• Peanut Butter

• Fudge Walnut 

I was blown away by the freshness, the taste and the quality of the brownies.  I reserved my strictest judgement for the most common of the brownies, the Fudge Walnut.  It was amazing.  It was fresh, moist, chocolaty, and the walnuts were there in the perfect combination.  The remaining brownies followed with equal taste and quality!  Mercy!  It was like the devil delivered to me in the disguise of 6 amazing brownies.  It is definitely a temptation that is hard to resist.  So for that special one who you either want to kill with kindness or maybe even someone you don’t like but would like to trap them in the quagmire of temptation, you definitely want to consider this option!

Gourmet Gift Baskets would like to give one lucky winner a custom package with one of each brownie from the Brownie Sampler.  This giveaway is only open to residents of the Lower 48 states because of the perishable nature of the baked goods. Giveaway ends on April 26 at 11:59pm MST.  Please use the Rafflecopter entry form to enter to win:
