The holidays are definitely a challenging season for my waist line. I anticipate that every year, and I make a deal with myself that I try hard to keep: if I'm going to eat something higher in calories, make sure it is worth it. So for me, that means that I wouldn't choose a cold, day old doughnut but I might choose a freshly baked hot one. It also means I won't choose a store bought pie over a homemade one.

Or so I thought. 

You see, Edwards Crème pies have caused me to rethink that rule. It turns out, they REALLY know what they are doing with this particular line of desserts. They far exceed anything I could create, and they are priced at a point where it just makes sense to let them do the work for me! You definitely need to look for them in your grocer's freezer the next time you go shopping! While you are there, pick up a Reese's Creme pie for me. Will I share it? Sure…if you can pry it away from me! 

Additionally, Edward's has a site that allows you to make a free holiday e-card to send to a loved one. Not only will you spread a little holiday cheer by sending one of these cute cards, but you also will be sending a coupon for Edward's pie at the same time! And you aren't left out in the cold, either, because the e-card sender also receives a coupon. SCORE! I loved the blue and white card option with the deer and I sent it to a family member to enjoy. I may or may not have included a note on the card to invite me over on the day they serve the pie. Ha!

As if the coupon isn't often enough, over the holiday season, a portion of all sales from Edward's pies is going to Toys for Tots $1 per pie!). I always appreciate a company that not only makes excellent products, but also gives back to the community. Thank you, Edward's! 

And now, for a special holiday treat, I have a coupon for a free Edward's pie for one lucky reader! Host a gathering and serve it or let it be your own little secret! 🙂 Edward's will also be making a $20 donation to Toys for Tots in the winner's name.
