Shari’s Berries for Mother’s Day Treats {Review & Discount Code}

Everyone who knows me is very aware of how much I love fruit. Case in point, the summer that I had gestational diabetes was long and torturous because for every big event someone had prepared something they knew to be my absolute favorite dessert: strawberries. Not grabbing a plate and filling it with berries was so incredibly hard for me, even more so than going without starches and candy.

But really, who doesn’t love strawberries? Or, for that matter, berries of any kind? I will never forget how excited I was to find my step mom’s care package of fruit that was delivered to the hospital as I lay recovering from having my son and taken off my GD diet. That first bite of berries after going without for months was truly a treat and I remember being giddy with happiness as I opened each container and sampled it.

And, now I’ve got a new first to remember as I was recently introduced to Shari’s Berries and 100% fell in love. From hand dipped gourmet berries to decadent cookies and combo packs, each page I searched was more delicious looking than the last. Even flipping through their pages of gourmet treats was exciting to me, thinking of how fun it would be to open the door to find a gift from Shari’s Berries waiting for me.

Since I can’t resist a good strawberry, I decided to order the 9 Fancy Berries and Pink Keepsake Box this past month. Luckily, it arrived quickly, because it’s all I thought of for the few days before it showed up. It was packaged nicely in a faux leather pink keepsake box {that I will be soon be repurposing for small special items because I love it so much} and all ready for gifting to a very lucky recipient.

When I first opened it, I was shocked. We get big strawberries every once in a while at our local market, but nothing anywhere close to the size of these berries. We’re talking HUGE strawberries that you eat in multiple bites or can cut and enjoy, not the size you are used to seeing. Thank goodness for the large size, because as soon as I opened the box and tasted one, I wished I had ordered an additional dozen or two.

We had planned on enjoying the berries over a couple of days, each of us having one dipped berry per day. What I found, though, was that these kinds of berries aren’t something you plan to eat. Once you have one, you aren’t likely to box up the rest “for later”. In fact, the instructions on the box state as much, telling you to barricade yourself somewhere and savor these delicious treats. The four of us ended up enjoying these treats over the course of a day, which was actually a feat considering how incredibly delicious these berries are and it was all we could do to not eat them all in one sitting.

The variety of chocolates and toppings on each berry made sharing them really fun, as we were all taking bites of each others to try them all. From coconut to chocolate chips to nuts, having those specialty toppings made the berries feel like a decadent treat and fun to sample and share. We also liked how there were two of the popular flavors of chocolate and white chocolate as those ones went really quick and it was nice to each be able to have a good sized piece.

I really feel like it’s impossible to describe how much we all loved the chocolate covered strawberries. There’s only so many times you can use the words “delectable” and “delicious” and there are absolutely no words to describe the perfection that happens when you combine two things that on their own are perfect.

After having tried Shari’s Berries, I will never eat strawberries the same again and will always be comparing them to the fancy dipped berries that we devoured. Perfect for Mother’s Day, Anniversaries, Birthdays, new mom gifts {hint, hint} or anytime you just want to really make someone’s day, if you’re looking for chocolate covered strawberry gift ideas there really is only one place to look: Shari’s Berries.
