sweet middles publixI love throwing parties and hosting get togethers. This past weekend, I actually hosted two groups of folks over the long Memorial Day holiday. I had a bunch of my best buddies over for an end of school bash and the next day we had family come in town to spend a couple of days with us.

Rather than spend the whole party in the kitchen prepping food, I opt for menus that allow me to actually enjoy the party with my guests. Dishes that can be made ahead of time are always a time saver. Dips, fruit salads, veggie trays, slaws and similar foods are fabulous for parties because you can have them prepared and ready to go so that you simply uncover and serve when your guests arrive.

Even the hot foods that have to be prepared at the last minute can be set up to minimize your time spent away from the party. I like to have my baked beans assembled so that I only need to pop them in the oven and my burgers already seasoned and formed into patties so that it’s just a matter of tossing them on the grill.

Of course you have to have a tasty dessert for your party guests. I was so thankful that the folks at Our Specialty offered to send me some of their delicious Sweet Middles mini desserts for my weekend festivities. I think the dessert just might have been the hit of the party!
Sweet Moments-2Talk about the perfect party food…the Sweet Middles mini desserts are amazing little handheld treats that are nut-free with no artificial colors, no artificial flavors and no high fructose corn syrup. The taste is absolutely incredible and quite addicting. Just to give you an idea of how much everyone liked them…the tray you see above had to be refilled THREE times during my first party. Yep—they are that good.

Now I am typically a chocoholic. Given my choice, I would go for chocolate over a piece of cake, a cookie or a piece of pie. Honestly, the Crème Brûlée Sweet Middles may have me singing a new tune! That little treat is so tasty. The cookies are the perfect texture—soft and moist. Between those two cookies is a smooth, creamy filling that is perfectly sweet…not hurt your teeth sweet like frosting…it’s really the perfect, creamy sweet filling!

I also served the Carrot Cake Sweet Middles and they were just as popular. How can you not love cream cheese sandwiched between two awesome carrot cake cookies? My mouth is just watering thinking about them!

You can pick up these delicious treats at your local Publix for a limited time. Look for them in the bakery section of your store. Whether you are hosting a get together or just want a tasty treat, these are the perfect choice. Grab a pack (or two) while they are available and let me know what you think. You can even tell me which one you like the best.

If you love them as much as I do, you can even make a request that Sweet Middles stay in Publix on the retailer request form. I know I’d certainly like to see them have a permanent home at Publix so that I could pick up a pack whenever I get a hankering for a sweet treat!
