*Giveaway Now Closed*
Hey Y'all!
I've taken soooo long to get this review and giveaway up--I'm so sorry!
But now it's here!
Newman's Own Organics(Not the same as just "Newman's Own")
Starting, Newman Own's Organics is awesome.
They have really great products that I love and know I can enjoy without all the junk most food products have!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Headed by the late Paul Newman's daughter, Nell, Newman's Own Organics is a company, founded in 2001, that strives to offer healthful and tasty snacks and treats that are certified organic.
"We want to offer organic food products with wide consumer appeal," says Nell. "We feel that people want to know more about the food they eat, not just how much fat or cholesterol a product contains. How ingredients are grown and processed on the way to their grocers' shelf is becoming more important to today's consumer. Once people see how much organic foods have improved since the early days of packaged `health' foods, we hope they'll try other organic food products."
"We focus on the kinds of products we loved as kids, but take them one step further by using the highest quality of available organic ingredients. Our first product, organic pretzels, fast became the top seller in the natural food industry, and each addition to the line has been successful."

But before I can share the review, I have a little, well, not so little, story to share with y'all...
As you know, Newman's Own Organics kindly sent me a box of products to review....
It came via. UPS the day before we went on a trip.
The only thing I took out of the box to eat was a chocolate bar. Therefor, I tightly closed up the box, and put it in the corner of my room... well, we have 2 indoor dogs that stayed in the house while we were away.
Might I say, we got home from our trip, in the middle of the night, and it was very cold and snowy outside...and in the house. Well, we first smell the nastiest, grossest smell ever.
We saw nasty doggie stuff everywhere--and on everything. At that point I couldn't think of what it would be from. Until I walked into my room.
Then I saw it. Eveyrwhere. I was pretty shocked. My mind was racing and I was thinking, "What in the world am I going to tell Newman's Own?". Wrappers and empty packages were among the floor along with little chocolate and cookie pieces. Oh, and it was amongst all the crushed pretzels and cans of mints. Even the licorice was chewed on.
So you see, somehow and we still don't know how, the dogs got into the box and pretty much ate everything... I wasn't worried about them getting sick on the food except the 7 chocolate bars. Those poor dogs--at least they didn't die, to say...bluntly!
As I was typing the email of what happened to Newman's Own Organics, I felt quite embarressed actually. I mean, they so sweetly sent me a whole box of free food, and my dogs eat it all while I'm away! But Sally, who made this whole review and giveaway possible, who is so very sweet, went and sent me an entire new box to review! She said after reading the email, it was so funny and she laughed much, that she she couldn't not send me a new box! And along with it, she sent me a whole box of dog food/treats!
I want to thank you, Sally, so very, very much for all you did! You were amazing and so sweet! You didn't have to send me a new box and at that, a dog sampler box!
There's the story and now for the review!

Not a very good picture--sorry! We also ate a couple things before the picture was taken ;)
Wow! I don't know where to start! Everything was so good! I'll categorize it all, I guess!
I have to say first though, everything is made very well, packaged very nice and is high quality all the way around!!
The Chocolate Bars were amazingly, wonderfuly, perfectly, outstandingly good. I have never had such good chocolate bars ever! They are so good! The Milk chocolate and Espresso were best :)) They are a perfect gift for a chocolate lover!
The Chocolate Carmel Cups my siblings loved! I tried to eat one, but with my braces I, sadly, couldn't eat the carmel. They said they were amazing though!
The Dark and Milk Chocolate Cups were very good! I love Reeses', but these were even better tasting and for you! You'll love them, if you love chocolate and peanut butter.
The Pretzels were very good as well! They are perfect snack and we love to take them when we go places as a great snack! My family really liked them! I had to, due to my braces, suck on them until they were soft and then eat them, but even at that, they were wonderful!
The Ginger Snap cookies were good! The ginger isn't over powering and after sucking on them to get 'em soft, I could eat them and oh, they were good! My Mom really liked them!
The Alphabet cookies! They were so cute and yummy! My little sister loved them--she thought they were so fun!
The Double Chocolate Chip cookies! I just remembered I hasn't tried them yet! Let me go eat one... Okay, so these are amazing, too! So chocolatey and crispy! Yummy!
The Orange Chocolate Chip cookies were a huge hit for my brother! He ate the whole bag! They were good.
The Newman-O's were wonderful! I absolutly loved them and they were gone fast! I really didn't get to eat more then a few because my family ate them! They were a hit! :)
The Fig Newman's cookies are my brothers favorite thing ever, he said. He ate almost both packages and pretty fast, too! They were nice and soft and oh! I could eat them with having to suck them first! ;)
The Hermits were, I have to say, my least favorite of the cookies, but that's not bad rating becuase you know what? I've eaten tons of them! And they are soft! Yay!
And lastly, the Mint filled Newman-O's! They were, over everything, were the best product ever made by Newman's Own! They are sooooo good! I love dipping them in milk and then eating them! Oh, they are amazingly good :)) My Dad eats them like he hasn't eaten in weeks! You will love them!
The mints were very refreashing! I really liked them!
The Licorice Twists-- I couldn't review these myself because I can't eat them with my braces, but I had some younger siblings eagerly waiting to review them for me! They said, "They so, so, so, so gooooood! We loveeeeee them! They are best we've ever tasted and we could eat them all day!". There, I think they like them! ;) Actually, since I couldn't eat them, we made 'trades' and 'deals' so they could each have their own packages!
The Raisins and dried Apricots were very, very good! They tasted freah and were not overly dried. They are awesome snacks! My family loved them!
The dried Apple Rings were absolutly amazing! They were another favorite of mine and honestly, I kind of didn't want to share them they were so good! :) Another great snack and you will get hooked on them!
We haven't reviewed the Pop's Corn popcorn because we don't have a microwave, but I will trust that it's just as good as their other products!
Overall, everything was very, very good! My whole family loved everything and we were very pleased to have reveiwed this for Newman's Own Organics!
And now for our Dog's doggie food review! ;)
I got sent 6 cans of dog formula,
1 bag of dog food and 2 bags of two different kinds of doggie treats!
Our dogs absolutly loved the Peanut Butter Oat treats!
The canned formula they liked, but not as much as the dog food!
They get excited when I show them the treats, so I know they really liked them! :) Also, Newman's Own sweetly sent me a whole bunch a coupons for their dog food! Thanks!
