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'd sit around and enjoy it while watching a movie that we rented
I love Breyers. Earlier this month I bought 5 cartons. We're almost done with the third carton.
I would have an ice cream party with the family.

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to enjoy the ice cream (darn dairy intolerance!) but my husband would enjoy either a big bowl of it or maybe use it in a chocolate milkshake, which is his favorite. And I would enjoy some coconut milk ice cream right along with him while we watch some stupid reality show on TV.
We'd enjoy this at an upcoming birthday party!
Anything with oreos in it makes me happy. Especially in ice cream form!
Wow that Ice cream looks amazing!
We would enjoy it as a treat after family dinner on Sunday. Every sunday is family dinner day! 5 pm on the dot!
I'd eat the chocolate Reeses with a banana.
We would enjoy Breyer Blasts while sitting by the pool.
We would have ice cream while we watch movies at night.
We'd enjoy Bryers Blast on Friday nights when we have our family movie night
I think that the cake batter kind mentioned here would be GREAT at birthday parties! We have a lot of summer birthdays in our family and oddly enough, no one seems to eat the cake at our parties! So having a cake ice cream would be a nice solution. (:

We would enjoy it as a post dinner treat or in cones on a hot day (and we're having lots of them in Virginia). Seriously, need to re-stock the freezer since my four year old left it open after she got a popsicle on July 3rd!
We could enjoy the Breyers Blasts! as a special treat while we watch a movie together on the weekend. Thanks!
we love to make our own ice cream cookies! we get the bryers flavaors and make different kinds!
My boyfriend and I love to make different kinds of ice cream sandwiches. I would use the Oreo Birthday Blast on a Devil's Food Donut! I would give him the Whoppers Blast between two Chocolate Chip cookies
My daughter and I would enjoy the ice cream as we watch our "guilty pleasure" shows! We usually do this once a week and adding Breyer's Blast to that ritual would be perfect!
Yummy! I'd dish it out after dinner... or sneak it as a snack.
My daughter and I enjoy the Oreo Blast in cones or eat it out of a bowl. Thanks!
We woud enjoy on our family's movie night. We would enjoy it while watching a favorite movie.
My family would enjoy Breyers Blasts as a treat on our Family Rock Band Nights.
my family and i enjoy breyers blasts together on the weekends after a nice long day at the beach

I like to take vanilla ice cream, add peanut butter and chocolate syrup, and mix it all together.

We would have a birthday party-my grandson's 3rd., coming up in August, and have cake and Breyers-and have a blast!

We would sit around the table after dinner and enjoy a bowl of ice cream and chat about the day!!
Milkshakes or sundaes on game nights. :)

I have only about 3 brands of ice cream that I buy and Breyer's is definitely right at the top of that short list. I can eat it any time of the day (or night) but mostly it is as my just-before-bed snack. I know they say that is a bad thing to do, but something that tastes that good cannot be totally bad!
We enjoy it sitting outside on the back porch when it's just gotten too hot inside to be happy and we don' t want to turn on the air.

Bryers makes for a good burghbaby
My daughter is an ice cream fanatic! She's 14 and could LIVE on ice cream!! lol.
One of my favorite ice cream flavors is peanut butter cup so I would really love this And my family would also. We would probably sit in the living room and watch a movie while we eat our Breyers Blasts! Ice Cream.

I would probably try to hide this from the boys!! This looks sooooo good!!! i would be chilling on the couch after they are in bed watching some tv.
ooh! Everyone knows how much I love all ice cream! I would enjoy this with my boyfriend after a nice day at the beach!
We actually has Oreo Birthday Blast last night!! We watched a movie-Treasure Island- & enjoyed Breyers Ice Cream!
As I sit here wearing a Reese's Tshirt I won, I wonder if I would be lucky enough to win ice cream that would accompany my tshirt, I sure hope so, as I love Reese's. The Ice cream would be like topping on my cake. Thanks for the chance.
I'd serve Breyer Blasts on a waffle with whipped cream.
