At my show tonight I had a gal ask about a PC Mix that you combine with cream cheese and then roll in "rock sugar" (never heard of that either)? Didn't ring any bells with me.............how about some of you veterans?

I had by coincidence made the Sprinkles samples with cream cheese and the cinnamon & caramel sprinkles, and told her she could do something just about the same with that (especially if she spent $60 and got them free!)
 
It sounds like she's thinking of Tastefully Simple or one of the other food mix direct-sales companies. Unless she's looking for something from more than 6 years ago.
 
Just what Ann said, TS has several different types of sweet cheese ball mixes.
 
yep, never seen it and May is 14 years for me

I've been a customer for a LOT longer than I've been a consultant, and it didn't sound familiar to me either! Thanks for chiming in!

I love hearing from people "I really like your garlic, garlic spice". Um, yeah, not PC!
 
Yeah- that one and "your apple cake mix" I hear all the time. And having just been to a TS party last week, I know those are both TS items. (Side note: I got a jar of their pomegranate chipotle sauce - YUM!! I spread a little on chicken breasts and baked them; served with rice, carrots and applesauce. Even DH liked it!)

HA! JUST had that one at my show on Sunday. Pretty funny.
 
I would have never known what garlic garlic was but I went to a show where the host served it in a dip so I had to track it down and get some myself.
