Popular Desserts w/ Asher’s Pairings

   After dinner, everyone is digesting their food, but we all know that you can always go for a 2nd round. When it comes to dessert, which is your favorite? A sweet, delectable bite of pie? A fudgy, warm cut of a brownie? Or how about a cold, frozen ice cream sundae topped with delicious treats? Wow, those sound tasty! With all these exciting dessert options, leave it to Asher’s to pair the best of the best. It will broaden your taste buds to not only grab the dessert dish, but a small treat that blends so well in your mouth, it’ll have your taste buds craving more! We’ve collected a few popular desserts that pair so well with our unique, one-of-a-kind chocolatey deliciousness we know you will love! 

 

Pie 

      No one can turn down a beautiful slice of Key Lime, Apple, Blueberry, Pecan…you name it! There are tons of options when it comes to what is filled in that delicious, crunchy crust! For any pie that might be available at your party, holiday event, whatever it is…we highly recommend adding in a few additional touches to sweeten up your night!  

      Our Milk Chocolate Mini Peanut Butter and Marshmallow Cups are a mouth-watering sensation! They come in an 8 oz. Bag filled with approximately 18 individually wrapped pieces. The shiny brown foil lets chocolate cravers know the flavor of the piece about to be enjoyed. Upon first bite, your taste buds will explode with a nutty and smooth peanut butter center atop a cloud of fluffy white marshmallow. Asher’s signature milk chocolate shell enhances the sweetness of the creamy filling.  

      Another flavorsome piece we recommend, especially with the fruit pies, is our Milk Chocolate Raspberry Jellies. They are offered in a 1lb. Box online at Ashers.com or you can purchase them from our Souderton and Lewistown Retail stores by any lb. that you’d like! A candy that has a gooey, jelly-like center, wrapped in a blanket of sweet milk chocolate will send your taste buds to the roof! A mouth-watering sensation that will leave you eating the whole box! 

 Brownie 

      We know you got excited just reading that. Brownies are known for flipping anyone’s day upside down. There’s nothing better than biting into a warm, soft piece of gooey, fudge squares that will leave you in a chocolate coma! And to think when it couldn’t get any better, Asher’s has recommendations to step up the baking game and leave your friends and family begging for the recipe! 

      Our Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Smoothies are not just your typical piece of chocolate. One bite into the liquid, smoothie of peanut butter will tell you all you need to know about the candy. It’s a melt-in-your-mouth type of dessert that will blend so well in your brownies! They are sealed up in a 4 oz. Bag that holds a generous number of treats that can be shared or eaten all at once! 

      Asher’s Milk and Dark Chocolate Jumbo Marshmallows are the perfect classic confection for your taste buds! Fluffy jumbo marshmallows enrobed in an extra thick coating of Milk or Dark Chocolate is sure to make your mouth water! Adding these jumbo treats will definitely be a great addition to your typical brownies, or even Rocky Road Brownies! 

 Hot Fudge Sundae 

      These are a classic treat for any birthday party or a special treat after a big occasion. Although the sundae stands alone as its own delicious dessert, we found that spicing it up with some Milk or Dark Chocolate Smothered Pretzels just makes it that much better! You got the ice cream, drizzle of hot fudge, whipped cream and with the cherry on top, a pretzel sits so nicely nestled into the whipped cream for a crunchy twist to your favorite dessert! 

 Chocolate Chip Cookie 

      This dessert is the one that never fails on any occasion. As soon as you smell the cookies come out of the oven, just slightly undercooked, it’s hard to wait for them to cool down before you grab a big bite. And although these cookies are a simple, delicious treat, we figured adding a few chocolate suggestions might make you the life of the party! Our Milk Chocolate Mini Peanut Butter Cups amplify any dessert that you’re offering. The nutty peanut butter, wrapped in creamy milk chocolate will give you the perfect blend of happiness with every bite! These mini treats are available at our Souderton and Lewistown Retail stores for purchase.

Easter Basket Essentials

Spring has sprung and the Easter season has begun! We’re all excited to wake up on Easter morning and see the look on our child’s face to all the exciting goodies in their Easter basket. In case you’re stuck in a rut and aren’t sure what exactly to place in your basket, we’ve curated a list that will help get those creative gift juices flowing. 

1. Jumping Rope – It’s a fun, outdoor activity for all the kids in the neighborhood! You can grab one small enough for your child to learn some new tricks or one big enough to play “Monkey in the Middle” or “Double Dutch” (if you have 2). 

2. Sidewalk Chalk – This is always a great gift for a little one. It’s an artsy tool for a creative outlet, and they get to decorate the driveway/sidewalk with fun drawings, hopscotch, silly names, etc. Most boxes come in a large variety of colors, so they’ll have many to choose from. 

3. Playdough – One of the best, simple muscle stimulus activities. Your child will have the capability to build whatever they desire! It’s squishy, molds well, and can bend in many directions. It’s also fun for adults! 

4. Peeps – The most notorious Easter candy, dipped in a bath of luscious milk chocolate! It wouldn’t be an Asher’s favorite for Easter if it wasn’t covered in chocolate, right? Offered in yellow, pink, and blue, we’ll have just the right one for you! 

5. Notepad & Crayons – Having a notepad and a box of crayons is always a fun, creative activity for the young ones! Doodling is always fun and gives a sense of creative imagination. 

6. Chester’s Critters – You take a child’s favorite snack and drop it in a sea of chocolate. Can you think of anything better? These cookies come in a box that is easy to store and will last a while. It’s always a fun treat to have around the house! 

7. Asher’s 24-Count Peanut Butter Eggs – This is an egg-cellent addition to any Easter basket. Chocolate and Peanut Butter = best candy combination. Or at least one of them (we can’t decide). These eggs are essential in every Easter basket! Peanut butter, smothered in delicious, sweet chocolate, in the shape of an egg. It’s the ultimate Easter gift every child will love! 

8. Coconut Cream Window-Box Eggs – These adorable chocolate eggs are nestled in a transparent box so it can be love at first bite! Our Coconut Cream Eggs are essential for the Easter season. We offer them in a 4 oz and 8 oz box, wrapped in milk and dark chocolate. Nom Nom! 

9. Sticker Books – Who doesn’t love stickers? They’re fun to place on paper, on the couch, on your dog…just kidding! But kids in the 3-5 age range are the perfect age for them. You can create an entire story in a notebook! 

10. Easter Mini Pretzels – These adorable milk and dark chocolate pretzels come in a 4 oz. bag of happiness! Decorated with pink and yellow string, these make for the perfect addition to any basket!
