    My 2 Year Blogiversary & A Giveaway!

    Today is a pretty special day around here, guys.

    It's The Kitchen Prep's 2 Year Anniversary! I know, I can hardly believe it myself.

    I've managed to cram two years worth of stories, recipes, and adventures right here in my own little corner of the blogosphere. And some of you have stuck around and been here for most of it: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

    My favorite part? {Aside from the sugar, of course. Always smitten with the sugar.} Connecting with you.

    I know I've said it a bunch of times before, but I really, truly mean it. If it weren't for you, I'd basically be talking incessantly about food to myself {which, I'm not gonna lie, I do on ocassion}, or driving my hubby crazy with things like whether or not bacon belongs in baked goods. {It does.}

    So a BIG thanks to you for stopping by, for reading, for commenting, for encouraging, for questioning, for criticizing, and for supporting this little dream of mine... it means the world to me.

    But let's stop talking about me. To show my appreciation for your loyalty, I'm making part of today about you! And about candy!!

    Now, where's my piñata...

    Eh, nevermind that. I've got a better idea!

    As a fun and fabulous party favor for stopping by the celebration today, one of you will win a "Founder's Faves" Tasting Box from the super sweet company, Sugarfina!

    {I'm totally jealous, by the way. I spent a good 45 minutes browsing all of their tasty treats... and there are SO MANY!}

     

    Source
    Clockwise from top center: Dark Chocolate Coffee Toffee, Chocolate Marshmallow Eggs, Artisan Gummy Bears,
    Dark Chocolate Toffee Almonds, Holland Mints, Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Caramels, Mint Chip Malt Balls,
    Chocolate Berry Basket

    Do yourself a favor and check out all the goodies Sugarfina has to offer... I'm just slightly obsessed and I wouldn't even call myself a "candy" person. But with flavors like Single Malt Scotch Cordials, Chocolate Peanut Butter Malt Balls, and Champagne Gummy Bears, it's hard not to be intrigued.

    Or inspired.

    I totally turned their Dark Chocolate Coffee Toffee idea into cake. Well, mini-cupcakes, to be exact. Because what kind of party is it without cake?!

    Tomorrow I'll be sharing the recipe for these little sweeties... and trust me, you want them in your life!

    But for now, satisfy your sweet tooth by browsing Sugarfina's site and tell me which of their flavors inspires you! Enter using the Rafflecopter widget below. I'll be using a winner {at random} on Friday, February 8. Good luck!

    a Rafflecopter giveaway

    Here's to another year of kitchen adventures and delicious celebrations!

      Thank you so much for offering such a wonderful giveaway. To be perfectly honest every flavor sounds delightful, but I think my favorite would be the Raspberry Chocolate Cordials. Yum!

    Hi! I'm Dianna. I used to think cooking had to be complicated to be good, so I never considered it "my thing." Now I know that's far from true, and my mission is to create & share easy, mouthwatering recipes - from weeknight dinners to simple bites for entertaining - that anyone can make! Join me in my South Florida kitchen and let's get cooking!
