I’m not sure I’ve ever seen gourmet treats packaged in a more delightful way than those from Harvard Sweet Boutique. The whimsical and cheerfully designed gift boxes are nearly as wonderful as the baked goodies which fill the inside.

Harvard-Sweet-Boutique

I was sent a sampling of yumminess recently and couldn’t help but smile at the polka dot gift box! Each of the treats was individually sealed in biodegradable cellophane for freshness, and I had the hardest time deciding what to try first.

So I did a naughty thing… I put them all on a plate, opened every single one of them, and had a taste after taste after taste party.

Gourmet Brownies

Decadent is the word for these rich, moist and oh, so chocolatey brownies filled with big chunks of semi-sweet chocolate (my favorite part). Made of dense, soft (not chewy) chocolate, layered with either raspberry buttercream, mint buttercream, or vanilla caramel and then topped with even more chocolate and a drizzled glaze.

Believe it or not, my favorite was actually the traditional chocolate fudge brownies. However, the mint was a very close second!

Gourmet Cookies

As much as I enjoyed the brownies, I enjoyed the cookies even more and other than sharing a bite to taste with my boyfriend, I got to eat each of my favorites by myself!

I was crazy about the Cinnamon-Sugar Snickerdoodles. Every time I tasted one of the other varieties, I kept coming back for another bite. Clear winner in my book.

The Ginger Molasses cookie was my next favorite with its wonderful rich flavor and sugar-sprinkled top.

I didn’t like the Oatmeal Raisin cookie for some reason, but my boyfriend absolutely loved it. Go figure. He also hogged the Chocolate Chip Cookies so that I never even got a taste. Guess it was good…jerk.

Harvard Sweet Boutique cookies

Harvard Sweet Boutique cookies are made without preservatives, trans fats, commercial oils, artificial flavors or color. I highly recommend trying them, especially those Cinnamon Sugar Snickerdoodles. Mmmmmmm.

Plus, they come in those adorable gift boxes! Visit Harvard Sweet Boutique!

 

I received a sampling of treats for review, and the opinions in this post are honest and my own.

    These look really good! I love when shops pay attention to detail with perfect desserts, but also pretty packaging. These look great for a gift!

Meet Liz

Hey there, i’m Liz!

I’m the founder of Eat Move Make and a North Carolina mom of two humans and six cats. I love to cook, bake, craft and travel. I’m also addicted to tea (but not sweet tea).

When I’m not creating something in my kitchen, and since my kids are now adults, I’m all about my bucket list of travel destinations and adventures.
