Cheryl's Easter Basket Giveaway

And the winner is, as selected by random.org, comment #8: Tracy Smith. Congrats Tracy, can't wait to hear what you think about the cookies and brownies.

Since we've moved to Ohio, our extra fridge freezer has been dedicated to Cheryl's cookies and brownies. Because my husband works there, he regularly comes home with the latest goodies the Cheryl's bakers have concocted. Each cookie comes individually wrapped makes it easy to freeze those that you can't eat right away. The neighborhood kids make a beeline for our freezer on the way home from school and our house was very popular at Halloween!

For the last couple of months, our freezer has been filled with pastel confections as Cheryl's has been gearing up for Easter. From their trademark soft sugar cookies topped with buttercream frosting to their new fudgy brownies with vanilla, chocolate, or peanut butter buttercream frosting, everything has been tweaked to be the hit of Easter celebrations. The cookies have become egg shaped, and the brownie frostings have been kissed with Easter hues. The lucky kids and adults who receive these on Easter Sunday will all be thrilled, just as my kids and their school bus friends have been for months!

Cheryl's is a household name in Ohio. Everyone here breaks out in a big smile when I tell them where my husband works. But outside of Ohio, there are many who have yet to bite into a soft buttercream frosted cookie. These cookies are made with the highest quality ingredients, just like the cookies baked in our kitchens, using real vanilla and real butter, making a big difference that you can taste in every bite. Once someone receives a Cheryl's cookie as a gift, they're very likely to become a loyal customer. I'm doing my part to spread the word with a giveaway and special coupon code today.

Just in time for Easter, I'm giving away an Easter Gift Tin (a $39.99 value). The pretty tin comes with 9 vanilla cut outs in an assortment of pastel colors and 6 vanilla frosted brownies. You won't believe how decadently fudgy these brownies are until you bite into one!

To enter to win, leave me a comment with what your kids or grandkids' Easter baskets will be filled with this year. And let me know if you've ever tried a Cheryl's cookie! Leave me a comment by Tuesday, March 30 at 10:00PM to enter to win. I'll select the winner that night so that Cheryl's can get your Easter tin out to you by the weekend, in time for your Easter celebration.

My daughters are teens, so in addition to candy, they'll be getting some cosmetics and a gift card. I love the idea above from SelimaCat. Flip flops will be in their basket this year too!
Thanks for the review and giveaway!

Those cookies look amazing!

I'm really not sure what the girls will get in their baskets this year, we usually let the grandparents go wild with choosing their treats. :)

I dont for sure what I will put in the easter baskets....those cookies look awesum

Unknown said...

we don't really do easter baskets. they usually just get something like a chocolate bunny or a little gift. i'm sure the cookies would be a big hit...

my dad worked for frito-lay growing up so our house was always popular after school and at halloween also. i think i would prefer cookies to chips, though!

We let grandma/grandpa go crazy on the baskets ... we'll stick with the standard peeps, chocolate kisses and maybe a hollow chocolate bunny.

My wife LOVES Cheryl's cookies. If chosen, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't get to taste any (at least, with her knowledge).

I have tried a Cheryl's cookie, and they are great. My son's basket will have chocolate, jelly beans and a chocolate easter bunny. My girls are teens, and we have always had the tradition of no baskets once you are 13. But I do have a chocolate easter bunny for each of them.
