Review: Turtle Chex Mix Bars & A Giveaway!

When DH saw this box of Turtle Chex Mix bars arrive in the mail, he took off with it! LOL! The man loves his Chex! I had to tell him to share!

Now I'll be honest, I never really liked regular ol' Chex Mix. I can't think of a reason; in fact, I don't think I ever ate it more than maybe once or twice as a child. But chocolate Chex mix - now you've got my attention!

New Chex Mix Bars combine crunchy Chex pieces, pretzels and peanuts with chewy and indulgent ingredients like caramel and yes, you guessed it - yummy chocolate! Even better? They have less than 150 calories per bar (my waistline says thank you!) and provide at least 8 of the 48 daily recommended whole grain servings every day! There are two varieties to choose from - Turtle, and Chocolate Chunk (are you drooling yet?)

These are just perfect to carry around in your purse to snack on instead of a candy bar or pulling through the drive through to grab a snack (not to mention, cheaper than the latter option!) You'll have to fight your kids or husband though, once they find out how yummy they are! There's six to a box, and if you pop on over to coupons.com right now, you can even print off a coupon to help you save on your purchase of Chex Mix Bars!



Want to win a heavenly pampering basket that comes with your own box of Turtle Chex bars? (I know anyone who participate in the Bloggy Carnival probably dreams of this basket at this point, lol) I thought so! Well, here you go:

To enter, tell me how you pamper yourself... when you get a free minute from your crazy world.

For extra entries (do a separate comment for each):

-add me to your Technorati favs (pretty please!)
-sign up for my feed (I get lonely talking to myself sometimes...)
-blog about my giveaway (It makes me feel special!)
-add me to your blog links (and this one makes me feel honored!)

This giveaway ends November 7th, at 11:59 pm. If you'd like me to email you if you win, just leave your email addy in your post, otherwise, just check back to see if you won. I also submit my winners to Prizey, so you can check there as well. Winner(s) have two days to get back to me. Good luck!

Pssst... even the candles in this basket smell like CHOCOLATE! ;)

Since getting any time to myself is a once-in-a-blue-moon type of thing, I usually just get into bed with my kitties and the puppy and watch a good movie. The peace and quiet really helps me feel better about myself!

nice hot shower

deb126 said...

I pamper myself by first enjoying a long soak in a nice warm bubble bath with my favorite bath products and enjoy my quiet time lit by only candle light, my bath is then followed by mini pedicure that I do myself and then I like to catch up on some reading in my bedroom no tv or music on- just the silence of the evening, those quiet moments are so enjoyable and usually need one every other week or so, Thanks for the fantastic giveaway that is so yummy looking would love to win it, GLTA

glass of port and a bubble bath

joannaonthelake said...

I pamper myself by giving myself my own pedicures. Once a week I pick a night that I have some extra energy and once the kids are asleep I will soak my feet in some warm water and use some peppermint sugar scrub and try to rub away all the dead skin. I also have a pumice stone and if I feel overly energetic I also rub my feet with the that. I try and have some calming music going and perhaps a glass of wine and this is my simple guilty pleasure. It makes me feel good about myself when I know I can slip into bed and my feet are not rough and "ugly" anymore. My husband doesn't seem to care as much as me, but I feel well taken care of when I do this little "pampering" to myself. But, within a week or so, all the dead skin is back, and I have to go through the whole routine again! It is never ending for us ladies, isn't it??!! Thank you for letting me share this with you all!

Twinks said...

I semi pamper myself three times a month. I get my bed pillows and lay on the couch with my feet elevated, have a sweet tea handy then I call my 90 yr old MIL that lives on her own still and we chat. She repeats her self and the stories many times over but most all of her friends have passed and she has no one to talk to. So I call her many times a month but the three times I call I ask her about her life growing up, so I know the conversation is going to be lengthy. Its interesting every time and she enjoys it. She always thanks me for listening and I always tell her truthfully that it is my privilege.

A free moment to myself? When does that ever happer? Just Kidding... I love to indulge myself with a really good chocolate treat that is only mine.

Jessica said...

I take time out to pamper myself. We spend so much time taking care of others in our lives that we often neglect ourselves. I'll take 20 minutes a day for myself, run a nice hot, bubble bath, and soak my troubles away by candlelight.
Thanks for the great giveaway. These new Chex bars look great.

A day at the spa is always nice but not always in the budget. So an easy way I pamper myself is to splurge on some fine chocolates and soak in my extra deep jacuzzi bath tub while hubby takes a turn watching the baby.

Jolene said...

nickyle said...

Pampering is too few and far between, I get the chance when I send everyone out of the house. They go do something and I stay at home where it is quiet. I read, take a long shower, just enjoy the time to recoup my mind.
Pampering, quiet time, help be a better mom.

heaventrees said...

I occasionally pamper myself by doing nothing useful. I mean nothing, I just sit and vegetate in front of the TV. Eventually, I get bored, that doesn't take longer considering the imbecility of TV shows today. Then I either nap which is a luxury or I start thinking which often comes up with lots of creative ideas. I just wish I could act on some of them!
