Here at Tin Shingle we’re always giddy with delight when new members join, but when Sasha Lewis joined back in January of 2014 our hearts skipped a beat. Why? Because Sasha had chocolate and if you’ve been following team Tin Shingle for any amount of time, you’ll know that we love us some chocolate! So I thought I would give some #MemberLove to Sasha and tell the world about my experience with her product in honor of Chocolate Week.
I kept seeing Tin Shingle’s co-founder Sabina raving about Sasha’s company, Barefoot and Chocolate on Facebook and Twitter and how much she loved it. I knew I would have to see what all the fuss was about sooner or later. Make that sooner.
One evening while I was on Barefoot and Chocolate’s website getting some information for Tin Shingle, my 9 year old daughter pointed at a picture of a jar of their Hazelnut Chocolate spread and asked what it was. I told her it was one of our members and they have a delicious chocolate spread just like the brand she likes that rhymes with "new fella". She asked if we could get some. I thought it was a good idea since being the Communications Manager at Tin Shingle, I should have a good grasp on the products of our members. So in the name of “research” I forced myself (insert sarcastic tone here) to hop on Amazon and order some.
I admittedly was a little skeptical at first. I had never heard of the brand before it showed up at Tin Shingle and I’m always a little leary about ordering food items over the internet, but I knew I had to try it. I ended up ordering their twin pack which includes one jar of hazelnut and another jar of almond coconut chocolate spread.
A few days later a little box showed up on my front porch. My daughter immediately ran to the kitchen to open it and insisted we try it right away. Who am I to argue with a 9 year old about chocolate? I was just as anxious to check it out. I made some toast, opened the jars and spread the creamy goodness onto the toasted bread. What transpired is captured below on my daughter’s chocolatey face after her first bite. It was truly an O-M-G moment!
At that moment I knew what Sabina had been raving about. It was heaven in a jar. Where has this stuff been hiding? I emailed Sasha with this picture of my daughter and asked her where she’s been all my life. I will never buy the “new fella” stuff again. Barefoot and Chocolate has a customer for life, which reminds me, I have to go order some more.
