::Review:: One More Bite Gourmet Marshmallows


Today I have this super awesome Etsy Shop to tell you all about called One More Bite!

About:
One More Bite was founded and is owned by Jessica Bennett.


"I have been a fan and a seller on Etsy for a few years now! I love this site and the people on it!

I have always loved baking, and have always been decent at it! Recently I have taken it up a little more, and have become great at it! I am finding new recipes and ways to make goodies, and having so much fun with it all! 

All of my marshmallows and other goodies are made from scratch, and made to order to ensure freshness! I use the best tasting ingredients, and you will be able to tell when you try them! My goal is to bring you the finest and most incredible tasting treats that will always leave you wanting just one more bite!

I have dietary limitations myself, so I am very understanding of people who have allergies or simply cannot eat certain foods. If you have any questions as to whether I can make anything to fit your diet don't hesitate to convo me!"



One More Bite is this extraordinary Etsy Shop that sells scrumptious, handcrafted Gourmet Marshmallows! They carry many flavors and you are bound to find one you will fall in love with!
Gourmet JUMBO Chocolate Pineapple Marshmallows - 6 piecesGourmet JUMBO Cookies and Cream marshmallows - 6 piecesGourmet JUMBO Vanilla Bean Rainbow FUNmarshmallows - 6 pieces

The Review:
I was sent three different flavors to try out:
Banana Cream Pie-Banana cream pie is a classic favorite...simple yet amazing. I have recreated that in my Banana Cream Pie marshmallows! They are made with sweet banana and vanilla bean, and rolled in crushed vanilla cookies to mimic a crust! You will absolutely LOVE these marshmallows!
Cotton Candy-Remember those hot summer days spent munching on sugary sweet cotton candy at the carnival or fair? Well, now you can still have that same sweet taste in a gourmet way! These marshmallows are cotton candy flavored, tinted a light blue to look just like the cotton candy from the carnival, then dipped in hot pink sugar! There are so good, and GREAT for kids parties or just a simple trip down memory lane!
Strawberry Banana-Strawberry and banana are flavors that go together almost better than any others! These marshmallows are a sweet blend of strawberry and banana that would be great for a hot day of porch sitting and soaking up some rays! Who needs a smoothie when you can get the same flavors in the form of a gooey, yummy marshmallow?!

I was so happy when my mail man came to my door with a package from One More Bite! Though I was never really a marshamllow person, I was pretty excited to get to try some that werent boring sounding, and that actually had flavor in them!
I received a box with my marshamallows packaged extremely safely, and very well :)


I loved how these were presented. They were simple, yet cute with the birthday type ribbon tied with One More Bites Tag with the flavor name on the back.


These were so beautiful. They were so soft and fluffy feeling. Just after touching these marshamllows, I feel like I have caught an obsession with feeling them. They are just so soft! And they SMELL Fantastic! 


I was really excited to try the Banana First. I LOVE Banana flavor treats. These Banana Cream Pie flavored Marshmallows were dusted all over with a vanilla cookie crust. One bite and I was instantly hooked. Let me tell you... These were so good, I would take this anyday over chocolate, peanut butter, and Oreos, and you all know those are my most favorite treats in the world. Thats how delicious these were. They were so full of that fruity sweet banana flavor. It was the perfect amount, and it wasn't a light flavor either. It was a big burst of it. Before I knew it, they were alomsot gone! I did save a few for my mother, since she goes bananas over banana flavored treats like myself!


Next I tried the Cotton Candy. I love cotton candy. Its just one of those treats that are unique, and anyone can love it! These were so gorgeous. They were blue, with bright  pink sprinkle sugar crystals on top. They smelled wonderful. More like a birthday cake frosting to me. One bite and I was in heaven. It tasted like cotton candy mixed with Birthday cake Frosting, and was super sweet, soft, fluffy. These practically melted in my mouth. The sugar crystals gave them a nice light crunch to them.


Since I loved the Banana Cream Pie so much, I of course loved the Strawberry Banana. These were pretty as well, with the pinkish red swirls, and they were so soft! I swear I spent about 10 minutes just ogling these and feeling them XD


They tasted absolutley delicious. They werent as strong with the banana, but a bit light with big hints of sweet strawberry. these tasted like  Strawberry Banana Smoothie, and were so sweet and full of fruity flavor. They were fluffy and ooey and gooey, and just melted in my mouth.


All of these marshamllows were fantastic, and I cant even tell you which one is my absolute favorite, because they were all so heavenly delicious!


If you are into fruity flavors you will love the Banana Cream Pie, and the Strawberry Banana.
Overall I give One More Bite a bajillion thumbs up for living up to their name and making toothsome marshmallows that really do have you going for another bite!

Organic Baby Oatmeal Milk Bath-Free shipping U.S. and CanadaHerbal Morning Sickness Soother Tea-8oz. tin-Free Shipping U.S. and Canada
Sencha Herbals is this wonderful Etsy Shop that carries handcrafted Organic Bath, Body, and Baby Products including Scrubs, Salves, Massage and Body Oils and so much more!

The Review:
Organic Coconut Lime-creamy body polish 9oz-Free Shipping U.S. and Canada
I was sent a wonderful glass jar of Sencha Herbal's Organic Lime Coconut Body Polish (Scrub)
I have never used a body polish in this scent before so I was really excited to try out something new! I was very impressed with how I received this product. It came safely shipped in a nice box, with the Jar wrapped in brown paper with a business card and a cute little rolled up Thank you for your purchase paper tied with a straw ribbon, just how any customer would receive their items from Sencha Herbals! I thought that was really cute :)

My most favorite thing about this product is that the jar was glass. It made it seem alot more, I quess you could say "Fancier" than Plastic. 
This scrub smelled wonderful. It was not a sickly sweet scent but a more natural coconut scent with hints of fresh lime, and it smelled sort of like a vitamin/health store which I really loved.

I also loved the texsture. The one thing I cant stand is a sticky sugar scrub. This scrub was perfect. it was not sticky at all. It was sort of like moist beach sand, but it was hard or grainy.

It felt wonderful on my skin. It really exfoliated and silkened my skin, and just felt wonderful to use in a relaxing bath. I love the Herbal aroma it made in my bathroom.

I also enjoyed not having to user too much. A little bit of Sencha Herbal's Scrub goes a long way :)

Overall I had such a fantastic experience with Sencha Herbals and recommend their products to anyone!
They would make perfect gifts for loved ones and family, and of course for yourself!

Buy It:
You can purchase this lovely body scrub on Sencha Herbal's Etsy Store for only $25 per jar. They offer Free Shipping to Both US and Canada, so I think this is an exceptional price!

Win It:
Alicia has been extra generous to offer to Bless one lucky reader of mine with the same jar of her Wonderful Scrub! Come back in a bit to enter the giveaway.
