My "Happy Things" List Includes Breyers
Do you ever stop and make a mental list of things that make you happy?
I do. Seriously. When I'm having a super-crappy day, I try to force myself to stop wallowing for a minute and list My Happy Things. All sorts of random things are usually on that list. There's the kid, chocolate, the way Penny's fur flops around when she runs, peanut butter, Max purring, cookies, sporks, sprinkles, flowers, ice cream, frogs in my pond, food . . . hey! Did I mention that food makes me happy? Especially dessert?
You know what makes me even happier? When I get to combine things that are on my Happy Things list. Give me chocolate and peanut butter and time with my kid and you've just made me the happiest human on earth.
Hello there, sexy!
You guys. YOU GUYS. Breyers and BlogHer asked me to review Breyers Blasts!® Chocolate REESE’S®. You can add THAT to My Happy Things list. Getting asked to review Breyers Blasts! is definitely one of My Happy Things.
A few weeks ago there was an evening when I didn't get home until it was almost time for Alexis to go to bed. I called when I was on my way home and told her that we would have some Breyers Blasts! together as soon as I walked in the door. I try to make it a point to spend a little time every day having a one-on-one conversation with her. Gathered at the kitchen table with a treat is an excellent way to get the conversation started.
She made herself a bowl and I made myself a milkshake. I kind of have a thing for chocolate/peanut butter milkshakes, by the way. That "thing" is that OMG I LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
We sat at the table talking about what we each did that day. Alexis talked about the things she had learned in school, she shared a funny story her bus driver had told her, and she told me about how she wanted to spend the weekend. It was nothing particularly exciting, but it was perfect. Everything about those moments was perfect.
Until Alexis finished her bowl.
Fortunately, we had some Breyers Blasts!® OREO® Birthday Blast! to try as well.
(Cake batter flavor + OREO cookies + sprinkles = YES. PLEASE.)
My Happy List is made up of things that may not seem significant, but thinking about sitting at our kitchen table sharing Breyers Blasts! while Alexis tells me about her day is one of those memories I'm going to hold in my heart forever.

We would enjoy it! Put it in bowls, grab spoons, and chow down. My family would love to try the Breyers ice cream. We love Reese Peanut Butter cups. We would just make it a family treat with all of us sitting around either outside on the patio or in the living room and savor each creamy, candy-filled bite.
Is 7 in the morning too early for ice cream? : )
We would have a icecream party :) Friends and family over for a movie and some great icecream
It'd be great after a looong day of school & work. We'd watch Jeopardy and nom on ice cream! \o/

for special occasions we make chocolate chip cookie sundaes with hot fudge!
Making a Hapyy List is a great idea! As is using the Reese's Blast in a milk shake...YUM. We would enjoy Breyer's Blasts after a night of grilling while the sun is hitting the mountains and the wind is picking up. Nice way to end the 100 degree days!
We buy Breyers Blast Reeses & Banana Split atleast once a week ! We usually buy 2 boxes of Breyers Blast and both are gone within 30 minutes of opening them lol .We are big fans of Breyers & i got to say i prefer Breyers over expensive ice cream .
My 2 year old daughter specially loves Breyers Blasts and probably more than anyone in the house .The minute she sees the ice cream box she runs towards them and screams of joy .
xoxo
my family would love the reeses ones as dessert after a backyard BBQ
We will enjoy this at an upcoming birthday party.
We'll enjoy it in a waffle bowl

I'm the "extra Granny" ( My husband has 3 grownup children and we have a Granddaughter & two Grandsons): Hopefully, we'll have some of the family up for a visit this summer! I'd love to serve up some Breyers Blast Icecream and see some happy faces.
We'd enjoy the ice cream while watching a movie, much better than popcorn in the summer!
I'd enjoy it relaxing in my bedroom after a long day.
I would enjoy the ice cream blasts in a bowl after dinner with my husband!
