Shari's Berries Review

Oh my, Shari's Berries......

You may recall in my daughter's first birthday post before this, that we received some Shari's Berrie's, and indulged in them after her birthday dinner.

We ordered the Cheesecake Trio and Dozen Fancy Strawberries, which runs about $54.97 before tax or shipping! I was a bit iffy about all of that with that being a pretty hefty price tag for some chocolate covered strawberries and small cheesecakes. Especially when I am a Velata consultant, and I can make chocolate covered strawberries, very easily, anytime I would like.

Here's the description on the Shari's Berrie's web page:
A delectable assortment of individual serving mini cheesecakes including a Classic New York cheesecake, a rich and smooth white chocolate cheesecake and a luscious chocolate Rocky Road cheesecake. With twelve Fancy Strawberries. Your Gift Includes:
4 Strawberries Dipped in Milk with Chopped Almonds
4 Strawberries Dipped in Dark with Dark Chocolate Chips

4 Strawberries Dipped in White with Dark Swizzles

3 Mini Chocolate Cheesecakes

And here's the lovely photo, via the website :)

It was shipped in a very sufficient time manor, by UPS, I do believe.. I received a Velata shipment that same day (YUMMMM)!! :P Anywho... it came in a pretty big sized box, with a little cooler insert inside of the shipping box, and inside that, was two beautifully wrapped boxes, with the Shari's Berrie's emblem on the top, complete with white ribbon.

I believe I have a few unboxing photos, if I can round those up, I'll attach them! :)

So, we dipped right into the berries.. each of us (Me, Mom, Judy, and Memal) having one berry of each kind a piece. Now, this is MY opinion on the berries, not theirs.. you'll have to try them out to see for yourself, of course, to form your own opinion.

My first impression, these berries were freaking humongous, no lie! They were cute, loved the fanciness to them! I felt like I was about to indulge in a real treat!

The strawberry dipped in milk chocolate, topped with almonds, were definitely my very favorite. It was like eating a truffle of some sort, on top of a juicy, big ripe strawberry! The strawberry dipped in white chocolate with dark chocolate swizzled on top, was nice and creamy, the two chocolates complimented one another well. I'm not huge into white or dark chocolate, but I really like it, they enhanced the berry for sure. And, I've never been much into dark chocolate, but as I am getting older, I am finding that my taste buds are changing more and more. I really liked the strawberry dipped in dark chocolate, covered with dark chocolate chips! It was my next favorite, for sure!! Well, we will just say that berry was healthy, and not count the calories.. hey, it had fruit.. good, dark chocolate.. good.. more dark chocolate.. even better? haha!

Now, onto the cheesecakes.. we ate these the next day.. and I tried them, and Jerry, my fiance's father tried them with me. We are big into sweets and cheesecakes, so we were pretty curious about these!

Included were three petite cheesecakes, but enough for us to indulge in!! :)

The Classic New York cheesecake was really nice, a very good cheesecake!

The White chocolate cheesecake was really good too, but very very rich for me!

The Rocky Road cheesecake was AMAZING!! Definitely my favorite one!! Tastes like rocky road deliciousness!! And it's cheesecake!!! How much better can ya get?? 

So, here's my ratings for Shari's Berrie's!
A=Amazing!!
B=Great!

C=Pretty Good
D=Could use some improvement

F=Epic Fail

Shipping= A+, it was received at perfect, no excellent timing, before I even finished cleaning house and getting the birthday dinner ready!

Packaging= A+, very cute!!! And everything was in perfect condition!! I was very worried about this, but it turned out great! I was pleasantly surprised! :)

Strawberries= A, I loved them all.. the white chocolate wasn't as much for me, but was still good, and the other two were amazing!

Cheesecakes= B, I really liked these, but some of them were a little too rich for my taste.

I do recommend Shari's Berries! There is a variety of things for everyone, and they are perfect for gifts, special occasions, etc. A++
