Weaver nut must have felt that chocolate vibe through email, because I was sent many chocolate treats to delight my taste buds. I received chocolate covered gummy bears, dark chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate covered cherries, and chocolate covers wafers. Was I in chocolate heaven or what? I also received a Texas beef rub seasoning and a fajita seasoning.
I first used the Texas beef rub on pork chops. I know what you're thinking. You're wondering why I would use a beef rub on pork chops, right? Well, why not? The seasoning contains black pepper, garlic, cumin, and chili. This isn't a seasoning I'd normally use on my meats, but I wanted to try something different. I rubbed the pork chops with the rub and put them in the oven. Not only did they blanket my kitchen with a fabulous aroma while cooking, they looked fantastic when done too.
Fresh out of the oven pork chops in this picture! Don't you wish smell-o-vision existed?
The pork chops were cooked just perfectly and I couldn't wait to dig in! I was surprised at how much I enjoyed the rub. Usually, I don't cook with cumin, chili, or pepper and I don't even have those spices in my home! I was expecting it to be slightly spicier but luckily it wasn't since I am not a fan of extreme spiciness. The rub really gave the pork chops a nice depth of flavor and extra kick of personality which I loved. I think it will be just fabulous on steak or even chicken wings too. I can't wait to use it on more meats in the future, and I'll definitely keep it handy in my kitchen.
I have not had a chance to use the fajita seasoning yet. I just made fajitas the other night and wish I had the seasoning on hand. The seasoning looks fantastic and I'm sure will bump up the fajita flavor tremendously.
The chocolate goodies don't stand a chance in my house, especially by me. Everyone who knows me knows my sweet tooth is insane. I wasn't sure which treat to try first but eventually settled on the chocolate covered wafers.
No, I will not share.
These wafers ended up being my absolute favorite treat, hands down. The light and airy wafer combined with the smooth and rich chocolate was divine. I loved how perfectly crispy it was too. The chocolate was sweet, but not overly sweet. It was impossible for me to have just one, and believe me I didn't. I had more than I should have, but what can you do when something tastes so good? They would pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee for a mid afternoon snack.
How can you eat something so adorable?
I honestly was not a fan of the chocolate covered gummy bears. Since I love chocolate and gummy bears together, I thought it would be a genius combination but I did not like it. I prefer to have my gummy bears plain like I normally enjoy them. I'm sure others would enjoy this treat though.
Cherry lovers, get ready for a real treat!
The chocolate covered cherries did not disappoint by any means. I loved the tart and chewy cherry combined with the luscious chocolate, it's such a classic pairing that you can never go wrong with. These bite-sized pieces of heaven were hard to resist. I found myself having way more than I should have, but it's okay because it's fruit right? That's the lie I told myself.
I have not had the chance to try the dark chocolate covered potato chips yet, but I cannot wait to try them. Anything sweet and salty together is always an awesome pairing. I look forward to sampling them soon.
If you have a party or work event coming up, why not let Weaver Nut provide the sweets? Your guests will surely love it!
