Morning Glory Confections Giveaway!

March 12, 2010 by Joy the Baker 1,155 Comments

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!

    This is so nice! I’m new to your blog and I’m loving it already. I’m also a fan of all things bacon and want to come up with a cupcake recipe w/bacon frosting. Still working on it :-)

    I love candy too! I’ve been intrigued by the combination of bacon and sweetness. This candy makes me want to experiment with bacon and sugar treats.

    Hi Joy!
    I know moving can be uber stressful. On top of having to learn, in your new house, how to find the bed in the dark without stubbing your toe, you also have to UNPACK!! I wish I were there to help you, we’d have fun. I know a way to make you feel better, though.

    GETTING MAIL!

    Everyone likes mail, especially at your new digs, it makes it feel like it’s more YOURS. So, if you send me your address, I’ll send you one of my bookmarks! (I’m making prototypes now to sell on Etsy at some point)

    All you hsve to do is go to my blog at http://www.justaddwatersilly.com and scroll down, there’s like ten or so designed so far… Just pick your favorite OR tell me what you’d like it to look like and I’ll paint it, bedazzle it with a beaded tassel and send it on to you! Everyone likes free stuff. I think you deserve a prezzie for all your hard work.
    Hugs you you, worker bee. :o)
    Best,
    Jenn
