Lindor Truffles Review

Well, my wonderful box of chocolates arrived. The kids and I started jumping for joy.  We rushed home from the mailbox, ran into the house, grabbed a knife to open the box. The boys were jumping up and down and the girls were squealing with joy.  All our mouths were watering like crazy.
As we opened the box, there was no more jumping; smiles turned to a very stressed look of horror. The chocolates had melted, and I mean melted everywhere in the box. There was one large bag and several small bags with two truffles in each one.  All melted everywhere. Poor little Jake who is 5.5 started to cry.  How sad is that.  I closed up the box and gathered the kids up and off we went for ice cream.  Needless to say, it was a sad, sad day.

I contacted Buzzagent and they will be sending us another box in the mail.  Lets just hope if arrives before the campaign is over.

How Do You Know You have Sensitive Skin?
Sensitive skin sufferers have a variety of symptoms including, rashes, itching, stinging, dryness, or general discomfort in response to things like fragrance or preservatives in products, or even stress and the weather. In other words, it is skin that's easily irritated. It can be tough to find products that sensitive skin can tolerate, but your skin deserves special care to help minimize sensitive skin symptoms. With Natural Skin Solutions for Sensitive Skin you can have peace of mind and healthy, beautiful looking skin. Why treat sensitive skin with anything but gentle, natural ingredients?

Why natural?

Unlike non-natural products that can contain chemicals, they gently and effectively cleanse and moisturize skin without causing redness or irritation. Dr. Jeanine Downie says it best, "simply put, your skin gets nourished with natural ingredients."*

Lindor Truffles

Who doesn't love chocolate?? Well the Amaral family can't live without chocolate, as I have to have a little each day to be able to homeschool four wonderful children.  It truly keeps me sain.  My product is in the mail and on it's way for us to review.  Come back in a few weeks to hear what we have to say about these truffles.

Exquisitely smooth, LINDOR truffles are passionately crafted by Lindt Master Chocolatiers in state-of-the-art facilities using proprietary processes. In fact, Lindt is one of the few chocolate manufacturers in the world that controls the entire chocolate-making process, from the careful selection of the finest cocoa beans to designing the colorful, elegant wrappers.

Since Lindt created the original LINDOR milk chocolate recipe over 60 years ago, it's introduced a variety of mouth-watering flavors for every occasion, from Hazelnut to Stracciatella to Extra Dark Peppermint. Whether you work them into your holiday decorating, give them as gifts or just savor one yourself, we know you and your family will enjoy eating LINDOR truffles as much as the Lindt Master Chocolatiers enjoy making them.

Fun Facts
It's rare that talking with your mouth full is an excusable offense. But we wouldn't begrudge you any if you shared these good-to-know facts with a LINDOR truffle in your cheek. As long as you brought enough to share.

• Have a delicate chocolate shell and an irresistibly smooth-melting center, which is designed to melt at body temperature
• The perfect indulgence for rewarding yourself, treating others on a special occasion, holiday decorating and recipes
• The irresistibly smooth experience of a LINDOR truffle is the result of a technique called conching, invented by the original Master Chocolatier, Rodolphe Lindt
• Comes in a variety of flavors, each with a distinctly colored wrapper
• Available at local grocers, drug stores, mass retailers, club stores, convenience stores and online at lindtusa.com

The Scoop

Over 60 years of LINDOR innovation
The original LINDOR milk chocolate recipe was first created by the Lindt Master Chocolatiers in Switzerland in 1949. Over the years, Lindt has added to its collection of exquisite truffles through careful research and innovation. Which flavors will you try?
