Morning Glory Confections Giveaway!

March 12, 2010

Three things I love:

Bacon.

Candy.

People that make special things with special ingredients.

aaaand bonus.  You.  I think you’re awful swell.

Because I love all of these things, I thought I’d share a little something with you.

Morning Glory Confections is a Los Angeles based artisan brittle and candy company.  We’re talking handmade, small batch candy with amazing flavor combinations.  

The best part?  I want to send you some!

The Bacon, Spanish Paprika and Cashew Brittle recently roused my interest.  It’s sweet and smoky with just a lingering bit of salt and spice.  It’s absolutely delightful.

Because I couldn’t help myself, I also tried the Almond and Bacon Dragees.  Lightly candied and crunchy almonds triple coated in semi sweet chocolate, dusted in cocoa powder and tiny bacon crumbled.  Subtle.  Chocolate.  The perfect crunch.  I ate them for breakfast this morning… I wish I were kidding.

And because I couldn’t order from Morning Glory without getting my absolute favorite treat… I also got a Fleur de Sel Peanut Brittle.  It’s perfectly salty and sweet and marvelous.  

I’m sharing with you!  Three of you darling people will win some Morning Glory.  Just leave a comment on this post from now until Saturday at midnight.  Say hi.  Tell me my hair looks nice… it’ll make me feel good.  ooOh happy day!

I saw the recent post with the smore brownies and it reminded me how much I loved them when I made them last summer! Candy for breakfast sounds great. I had cupcakes so i am not far behind! Have a wonderful Sunday.

I’m fairly certain that bacon makes everything better. As does your blog. You have such wonderful, creative recipes. I always feel inspired to try something new in my own kitchen after I’ve visited. Of course, I’m still telling my California-inhabiting sister that she needs to come to one of your fabulous classes. I’ll live vicariously through her once she makes it! And she will. :)

Oh wow, this looks delicious.

My sig other and I made bacon toffee last year for Christmas, but the bacon was too chewy and it came out with a really weird texture… tasted yummy though.

This looks delicous though.

I might be too late, but I’ll say hi anyways :) Those candies all sound sooo very good. I’m such a fan of bacon in things that a lot of people think they don’t belong, lol. Bacon and peanut butter sandwiches are probably my fav crazy bacon thing that I always get funny faces for. Thanks for all the great effort you put into this blog, I really love coming here and seeing all the great recipes!
