Indiana Artisan Best Boy & Co. {Product Review}

On occasion I have those moments when I say, "I love being a review blogger!" Opening the package from Best Boy & Co. started out like any other review. Each of the jars and the bottle were wrapped for shipping and when I pulled them out they had simple yet classy labeling. I liked the Best Boy & Co. logo it has the silhouette of a dog which is comforting to me (kind of strange I know) but I do love dogs. Their products have such a relaxing appeal to me, perhaps it's the logo, the hand signed packaging or the fact that their products are made in my home state of Indiana. Whatever the case may be I instantly felt at ease to dive right in and try these new and unique sauces. 

The products mentioned here were given to me free for the purpose of review. All views and opinions are my own honest evaluations. See Disclosure. 

The first product I tasted was their Bourbon Caramel Sauce. This was the most delicious and most surprising of all the products I tried. I don't normally like caramel or so I thought. Typically when I eat caramel it's mixed with chocolate or other sweets. I don't choose to eat caramel when I have another choice..until now. This ooey gooey Bourbon Caramel Sauce was so decadent it would have been a shame to let a drop go to waste. That's what I told myself as I licked my fingers and the spoon. Made with all natural ingredients the caramel had some separation so I had to stir it up after opening. Pictured above is Best Boy & Co. Bourbon Caramel Sauce drizzled over sliced apple wedges and topped with chopped pecans. This dish was simple with just 3 ingredients and yet so extravagant in taste. I wanted to hoard this to myself but I did share with my family. My husband thought this was delicious drizzled over our vanilla bean frozen yogurt.

Could it really be Summer without BBQ? Not in my mind! We enjoyed tasting the zesty flavors of Best Boy & Co. Original BBQ Sauce. I brushed their thick and bold sauce over chicken while it was baking. This dish turned out delicious and made a great salad for my husband to pack for work the next day. This BBQ sauce is very thick I used a butter knife to actually dip some out from the bottle. On memorial day I spread some on my hamburger bun and this tasted delicious with the flavors of a grilled burger! Speaking of grilling I was curious to try the Java-Nib Seasoning Blend and we never seem to need an excuse to grill steak. I tenderized our eye of round cuts and then sprinkled/rubbed them with the Java-Nib blend as they were grilling. I have to admit I would have never really thought of putting these flavors together, but they compliment each other nicely. I seem to get in a rut on how I season our foods so this was a really great change of pace.

We were also delighted to try the Chili Hot Fudge Sauce. The only way I can describe it is a warm flavor bursting with fudge sweetness. We dipped strawberries in this and poured it over our frozen yogurt. I liked the flavors together, but I want to experiment more with recipes and find something that fits with it's zesty vibe. Of all the products I was given for review the Bourbon Caramel is my absolute favorite. The empty jar proves it!

Being an Indiana Artisan Best Boy & Co. put their hearts into making each of their 12 products. Made in small batches to ensure the highest quality they use only all natural products that were ethically produced. The really cool thing about every purchase made from them-their profits go to charity. Yes, you read that right owner Wayne Shive donates 100% of all their profits to wonderful charities such as Doctors Without Borders. I love the idea that not only are each of their products made with care the money is being given with care as well. Indiana is making a difference around the world one jar or bottle at a time.
