For my third month of Foodie Penpals, I received a package from Joanna at Midwestern Bite Blog. She’s in Ohio and sent me some awesome regional goodies! Thanks, Joanna!

Here’s what she mailed to me:
Dorothy Lane Market “Killer Brownie”
Dorothy Lane Market grilling and seasoning rub
Claeys old fashioned peppermint hard candies
Reese small pearl tapioca
Gold Star Chili Cincinnati style chili seasoning
Starfire hot pepper butter
Local farmers market honey sticks

The “Killer Brownie” was definitely killer! It was so decadent and delicious. It had everything that I love in a brownie – walnuts, chewy texture, caramel sauce! Noms! It’s no wonder that Joanna describes this brownie as THE sweet treat in her town that everyone knows and loves. The honey sticks were also another sweet addition.

I’m super excited to try the hot pepper butter which is from Amish country. She suggests using it on sandwiches – will do! The peppermint candy is also from Amish country and it looks SO cute. And I can’t forget about the Cincinnati style chili seasoning. I’ve never had Cincinnati style chili so you know I’m gonna make this soon!
