I’ve had a thing for toffee since my first trick-or-treating Heath bar. THIS is slap yo momma greatness.
There’s still time to buy these goodies in person at the State Fair of Texas General Store in the Food and Fiber Building. (The fair runs through Sunday, October 20.)

(The companies mentioned in this post provided gifts for a blogger tourism event at my request. I received no monetary compensation. All opinions and comments are my own.)
Great job promoting your blogging passion, too! I remember years ago, when visiting my mother, she gave me a package of noodles shaped like Texas. Awesome…(probably made in Wisconsin, though!) BTW – I gained five pounds reding this post….
I’ve made that Texas shaped pasta too! Thanks for reading and commenting. I probably gained ten writing it – LOL.
That’s awesome! Plus, corn candy and chocolate? Yum! What a great group of folks willing to donate!
Yes they ROCK! Thanks Diana.
Heck Yeah! Local businesses rock! 🙂
I agree! Very generous companies:))
Nice! Was there more to it than the short question you wrote? 🙂
Ha. Well actually it was something more along the lines of “I saw / tasted / sampled your lotion / pecans / whatever at the State Fair and wondered if you might be interested in donating something to a blogger tourism event involving a group of ladies who love to blog and might even tweet about you, no promises, but huh, would you?
It’s always fun to give gifts of local specialties! Especially when there’s candy involved. Thanks for raising awareness of these Texas treats.
It’s fun to write about such amazing companies!
I love local gifts along with local restaurants but I guess you can’t take those with you 🙂
No but we will be sure to eat at local restaurants while we are there!
Our household tries to support local eateries, grocers, farmers, and other businesses as much as possible. Good for you being bold and asking for samples and good for them obliging. 🙂 Have fun at your conference.
Thank you!
Oh my, that candy looks to die for!!
That’s because it is, Kathy!
Great idea! I know the Arkansas Bloggers are gonna love getting Texas samples. I find God’s milk soap and lotion to be wonderful in the winter when my hands and cuticles get dry. That candy looks so good.
Meant Goat’s milk, but I guess it is God’s milk, too! 🙂
Yes it is God’s milk – LOL.
