August’s Decadently Delicious Flavors Shipped
After expounding on the amazing perks of monthly club membership last week, I’m happy to announce that another delicious shipment of new monthly flavors went out on Monday. 
Our lucky club members this month are receiving gorgeous tropical Toasted Coconut Brownies, classically rich and decadent Original Fudge and ultra-elegant Cinnamon Snickerdoodle organic cookies. Hungry yet? You too can enjoy August’s distinctively delicious array of out-of-this-world compassionate baked goods. Order them individually or become a monthly club member today to receive a 15% discount along with your awesome sweet treats.
Already a monthly club member? Looking for ways to put that discount to work? Our gourmet Gift Samplers and Gift Sets make perfect presents for August birthdays and vacation treats. 
Since the warm weather this time of year makes shipping vegan chocolates risky, we recommend non-chocolate goodies for those summertime special occasions. Save yourself the time in the kitchen by serving our organic cookies and brownies for dessert at your next picnic or barbecue and wow both your family and guests by filling your candy bowl with all our outstanding assorted flavors of our individually wrapped caramels.
What are your favorite vegan hot dogs or other favorite vegan barbecue fare? We’re always looking for new and exciting grill items, and we love Allison’s All-American Potato Salad to round out a perfect summertime meal.
Favorite Summer Flavors
I hope everyone had a happy and safe July 4th weekend. Now that summer is really here I can tell you that I’ve been looking forward to some of this summer’s flavors for months, and I’m super excited now that they’re finally here! 
July’s cookie of the month flavor is soft peanut butter cookies, and, not surprisingly, they’re one of our most popular cookie flavor all year. Try them warmed in a toaster oven for a little piece of heaven. (In fact, I’ll be right back so I can go try one right now. For quality control, of course…)
In other news, Apple Pie fudge is here this month, too, just in time to share at summer potlucks. 
I have been getting the feeling lately that maybe people aren’t quite sure if our white fudge flavors are as awesome as our chocolate fudge flavors, and I can see why someone might think that. After all, it’s pretty hard to improve on chocolate. But, that being said, you must try Allison’s white fudge to truly understand how amazing it is. The Apple Pie flavor is sweet, creamy and perfectly spiced, with luscious chunks of tart granny smith apple. It’s like having a summer picnic in your mouth! I won’t say it’s better than chocolate fudge, but it’s certainly every bite as good.
And, the summer thrills don’t end with July. August’s brownie of the month flavor will be Toasted Coconut, and I can’t even tell you how fantastically tropical these brownies are, not to mention gorgeous! So, if you’re a monthly club member this summer, consider yourself lucky, and maybe send another thank you to whoever gave you such a great gift. If you’re pouting right now because you’re not a monthly club member yet, it’s not too late to join for July! As always, monthly clubs ordered before July 22nd will have the option of receiving July’s flavors as their first month’s shipment. Plus, all club members receive 15% off all orders, including gifts!
Happy Summer!
Summer’s Flavor Highlights
Monthly Clubs will be arriving on doorsteps today or tomorrow and while everyone’s munching their new delicacies, I wanted to give you the highlights of what you can look forward to flavor-wise this summer. Next month we’re bringing back an old favorite, soft peanut butter cookies, and to complete the all-American feeling, we’re also offering an out-of-this-world Apple Pie white fudge in July that you have to try to believe. August offers my favorite Toasted Coconut brownies, which are as delicious as they are beautiful, and we finish up summer with classic spiced Oatmeal Raisin cookies and everyone’s favorite Butterscotch Pecan white fudge. So mark your calendars, or treats yourself or someone you love to a monthly club for the summer to sample all these great flavors and more!
Speaking of flavor highlights, I noticed that Key Lime and Peanut Butter were two of the top choices on our favorite flavors poll on Facebook last week and I just wanted to point out that we have Coconut Key Lime Cookies on our website right now, and that soft peanut butter cookies will be here soon, so those cravings may soon be quenched, for some of you at least.
