We needed Maraschino Cherry juice for a Christmas beverage recipe but it was impossible to find it bottled in either Liquor or Grocery stores. I finally stumbled upon this Reese Maraschino Cherry Syrup when we were visiting Minnesota (at Target --- near the ice-cream syrups). I was very excited to find this available from an Amazon Marketplace Seller.
One of the great things about this glass-bottled syrup is that it contains NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP!
Ingredients: sugar, water, citric acid, natural flavor, sodium benzoate (preservative), artificial color (red #40). Distributed by : World Finer Foods, Inc, Bloomfield, NJ 07003
Fyi: the Christmas beverage is a 2007 Southern Living recipe: "Jingle Juice"
Wow! It really puts you in the Christmas spirit; but be careful, it can catch up with you quickly! |

We have seen an obvious improvement in her skin and in the luster of her coat. She has not been gaining weight on it as she did with the previous brand, in fact she has lost a little. The chunk size concerned me a bit as we had to have most of her teeth removed a couple of years ago but she just digs right in. Recently she has been able to jump up on our bed at night where she sleeps at our feet, she had been begging until we picked her up and put her on the bed, and I think this is largely due to IAMS Proactive Health Adult Chunks. She is playing more than she had been and just seems to feel better overall. BTW....Lady will be 15 years old next month. |
| 250536 | 250536 | B005DQCYRS | A1KS9KOQ2C8ZMV | Rebecca | 4 | 7 | 1 | 1320624000 | Unhealthy... Look at the Ingredients | I fed my dog Iams Proactive Health for five years before realizing that it is a very unhealthy, low-quality, and species-innappropriate dog food.
The package states "No fillers." However, take a look at the first five ingredients...chicken, corn meal, ground whole grain sorghum, chicken byproduct meal, dried beet pulp. The last four of the first five ingredients are fillers! Also, the first ingredient, chicken, probably occupies a lower position on the list because, after cooking, most of the moisture is lost and chicken is about 80% moisture. [1][2]
As to being species-inappropriate, have you ever heard of a wolf attacking a corn stalk?
After I started researching dog food, I switched my dog to Taste of the Wild, a grain-free kibble, and Bravo Balance, raw dog food. When my dog was eating Iams, she often left food in her bowl for several hours. Now she eats her food as soon as I give it to her. Also, her coat is softer and she doesn't get constipated anymore (she did every now and then eating Iams).
Yes, Iams is "vet-recommended" and my vet approved of it. However, I have reason to believe that many vets have been improperly and undereducated in nutrition, and the education that they do receive is biased. Hill's Pet Nutrition Inc., which makes "Hill's Science Diet" with similar ingredients to Iams, has created and distributes a nutrition curriculum to vet schools around the world. They also administer the Hill's vet school graduate feeding program, which provides pet food to students at no charge that they can resell for a profit. In addition to providing course materials to veterinary students, Hills's, Iams, Purina, and other well-known manufacturers also offer additional perks for students. [3][4]
Please, do not believe pet food companies' claims without looking at the ingredients for yourself! It's a pay now or pay later situation. If you feed your dog a high-quality, wholesome food now you will have to pay less in vet bills later. The Dog Food Advisor's website, which rates dog foods based on their ingredients, is a great, unbiased resource.

(Suggestions below!) | Marshmallow fluff is delicious if you know how to use it, and the good news is, it's pretty easy! I used mine this way: I made brownies, let them cool completely, then topped them with a layer of fluff. In order to spread the fluff, you will microwave it in small doses for about 10 seconds or so for each 'batch'. Once the fluff is melty, then spread on top of the brownies. Let the brownies cool completely. You can serve them like this, but what I like to do is to then top the brownies with a layer of icing (on top of the marshmallow fluff!) They are always a hit! Enjoy!!! |

I have loved maple sugar candy for many years. I've tried dozens of different brands and this was the first that was hard as a rock. There is no expiration date on the box, but it seemed as though the candy was quite old due to the improper packaging. Even the middle of the largest leaf wasn't soft the way maple sugar candy should be.
A really fresh piece should have a slightly crunchy/sugary exterior and be smooth and almost buttery inside. This was definitely not. |
| 250539 | 250539 | B00248EA8Y | AFUKPXYA062LK | Ateebee | 8 | 9 | 3 | 1263254400 | just okay | These candies were very dry and not as creamy as I would have liked. The taste was fine but they are not sealed as another reviewer wrote so air gets to them and dries then out. I have purchased another brand on here that was sealed tightly and of much better quality in my opinion ( Coombs) if you like your Maple candies creamier on the inside. These taste fine as I said.. they are just a harder and more "sugary" texture than I prefer. |

Though I would give us a little treat every couple months so I signed up for the 2 month auto shipment. The first shipment came really quickly but we were both totally disappointed! Maple candy usually melts in your mouth. Occasionally you'll come across a piece that is a little hard. This whole box was hard! You had to suck on it forever to get is soft enough to eat. Canceled the auto the next day. |

We purchase maple sugar candy when we are in the mountains. I sent them to both and when they received them they were dry, and broken up. The box does not have plastic wrap to keep it fresh. I thought it was a mistake with my first daughter but when we stopped by my second daughters apartment on the way home I noticed that hers was broken up too. She said that it was also very hard and dry. I would definitely purchase again IF they fixed their packaging. |

Buy it elsewhere. |

But I thought these were delicious! As other reviewers noted the box wasn't sealed, but that didn't seem to affect the quality at all. The candies are ridiculously creamy inside, and while I did start to feel some graininess I think it was just because I was becoming more accustomed to the texture after eating like 5 in a row. They're a GREAT value- even if they were hard, I'd still buy them because they're 75% cheaper value-wise than the little boxes I can get at the grocery store, and since I have prime they ship free and fast. Definitely buying these again when I finish my box, and recommending them to everyone I know! |

I first bought the Butternut Mountain Farm Pure Maple Sugar Candy, 9-Ounce Box. It was one of the lowest price ones I could find, so I figured I'd try it first. The box was not totally sealed in plastic. The centers were a bit grainy - not creamy as I'd prefer. I would not recommend this product.
Next I bought Mansfield Maple- 1 LB (16oz) Pure Vermont Maple Sugar Candy (48 Candies) [cannot add product link for some reason.] Now this stuff was wonderful! The box was not totally sealed in plastic, either, so I just put all of them in a sealed plastic container upon arrival. The outside was solid and the centers were creamy despite the packaging. The company bills them as "Crystal Coated with Pure Maple to "lock in" the freshness... Made Fresh to Order." That may be why they are perfect. I will keep buying this brand! |

You see, this item isn't really packaged for shipping or for freshness. The candies arrived having fallen out of their little compartments and jumbled in a heap to one end of the now bulging box. The candies are banged up and there's maple sugar dust all over the outside of the box. Packed this way, with no seal, I'm guessing the candies are hard as rocks. Very disappointed in this seller.
Now for amazon: the little plastic air pouches used in packing were completely deflated. This item was packed with an engagement calendar in a box that probably could have held three times as much merchandise. So the contents were obviously banged around a lot. I really don't have time to pack this up and run 9 miles to a post office to return it. |
