Brie and I had to pick up Kitty from work, per usual. We got to TJ Maxx a little early, so I decided to go in and see if there was anything interesting in the specialty area of the store. You know: the area that has different edible goodies that you've never heard of but might like to try. I browsed a bit and saw a bag of dark chocolate covered pecans. Score! I went around the corner to see what else they might have. My eyes saw a small bag that said "Fortune Favors". Hmm...I wondered what that was?
I picked up the bag and it read, "Fortune Favors, Nuts * Enchanted". So far so good! There was a picture of big pecan, and written across it were the words *The Classic* Sweet & Salty Candied Pecans. Ooh, it was speaking my language! I absolutely love pecans, and sweet and salty immediately made me think of Kettle Korn. Yum! So I picked up that package and headed for the checkout.
When I got back to the car I showed Brie what I had bought. "What are these?" she asked. I said, "I think they must be like Kettle Korn. I'll let you know." I opened the bag, took out a couple of the WHOLE pecans and popped them in my mouth. As I chewed I thought: "I now know what happiness tastes like." They were amazing! As advertised: salty, sweet and candied, and the pecans were whole and big. Of course Brie had to ask to try them so reluctantly I let her. She felt the same way but I told her hands off, ha ha. I knew that the next time Kitty worked I'd go in and buy more.
But alas: as with everything I like, when I went back they didn't have any! I scouted that area and other areas that sell snacks but there were none to be found. I even asked an employee and she said, "Yeah, that's not a regular item so with the specialty area we just take whatever is delivered". Boo to that!
So even though I was sad, I knew that someday, somehow, our paths would cross again.
The next day I googled them to see if they had a website and they did! I had to let them know how amazingly delicious their product was, and hopefully order some. I sent them an email; and imagine my surprise when they actually emailed me back a couple of hours later! That's great customer service; and they thanked me for enjoying them and letting them know. I also had found them while they are in the running for best artisan food in the Madison, Wisconsin area so I told them I would vote for them every day so they could keep their winning streak alive! They were so friendly and asked where I had found the pecans. I told them so maybe they will reach out and sell them at TJ Maxx in upstate New York.
I said I would be ordering their product soon and good luck to them in the contest. And this company was kind enough to actually send me a sample pack of their product! The Classic, the Everything (like the bagel) and the spicy. And it arrived on Valentine's Day! So Fortune Favors was definitely my Valentine this year! 😍
So do yourself a favor: go to their website, take a look, and order yourself the best pecans I've ever tasted. I guarantee you won't be sorry! I actually ordered the Employee Appreciation Day Bundle (for me!), and it will only take three business days to be delivered! I cannot wait!

So what are you waiting for? Trust me: you won't be sorry.
