FOOD FEST GIVEAWAY # 7


This comes a little late in the day but who wouldn't want a delicious pancake doused generously with some maple syrup? How about a couple to share with Grandpa or Grandma on their special day today? (Happy Grandparents Day again!!)

I'm sure you won't say no if I told you I was going to tell you these pancakes are gourmet pancakes, made extra scrumptious with one special ingredient added by the founding family from the Pacific Islands.....Love! There's no better way to get an awesome recipe than to have one that has been tested, tried, sampled and enjoyed in a family and passed down generation to generation. In this case the winning recipe led to Sweetstacks!

We were sent two 1 lb packs of Sweetstacks' gourmet pancake mix to try out.

Now in our household Bunny girl is not a big pancake lover and Hubby, well, prefers a bowl of cereal to a plate of fluffy pancakes. I on the other hand love pancakes!
Considering the tastes and preferences, I decided I would make just half a batch to sample the flavor especially as I've not really enjoyed store bought, ready mix pancake mixes before.

I was actually not able to take a single photograph only because Hubby swiped 2 big fluffy, nice and hot pancakes off the plate . Bunny girl nibbled a little, said "Yummy" and ate another huge fluffy one with maple syrup and I just had to eat 2 while making theirs!

Official Verdict : Yummy into 3 times!!

The pancakes browned beautifully. They rose to be nice and fluffy and the taste was mmm!!! You have to try this mix out.(You can use the same mix to also make crepes or waffles too.)

I totally understand why they call it a 'gourmet' pancake mix!! The mix does live up to its title and the 1st place it secured in America's Best Food Professional Food competition.

Sweetstacks has other mouth watering looking products(you have to see the pictures to enjoy them....mmmm.) and some must try pancake recipes too.

I remember mentioning this before- I honestly believe a company only offers a 100% money back guarantee when it knows their product is that good and Sweetstacks is one of those companies! They're confident about the product they stand behind and know when it comes to the consumer's hands with love, it will find a place in their hearts for a good long time!



Try it/Buy it:
