Press Release Body: Milton, DE - March 10 2008 - In celebration of National Peanut
Month (March), Bella's Cookies & Verdi Good (natural/organic cookie and candy
companies) are releasing two, new peanut themed creations; "Peanut Butter Power" &
"Python Peanut Butter Fudge." March is coincidentally National Nutrition month, with
the peanut known for its many health benefits.
"Peanut Butter Power" is new cookie creation promoting the powerful health benefits
of peanut butter, with Bella Leishear resembling Super Girl on the cookie's tag.
"Creating a great peanut butter cookie recipe takes as much effort as creating a
great chocolate chunk," said Mark Leishear (Director of Sales & Marketing) "there
are many different types and tastes of peanut butter cookies; you have to experiment
with each." Throughout last summer, test recipes of peanut butter cookies would be
brought to various farmer's markets and data collected on each cookie variety. In
the end, the winner was a crunchy peanut butter cookie with a sugary top, named
"Peanut Butter Power" and is available in Bella's traditional double pack (2 - 3.25
oz cookies) for $3.99 and Baby Bella's (dozen .5 oz bite-size cookies) for $5.99.

Liam Leishear's candy company, Verdi Good, gives exotic animal names to each of
their available products. Crocodile Chews, Great White Fudge, and Dinosaur Crunch
are a current few. On the Bella's website, visitors can follow links to educational
sites such as the National Geographic Society and learn in-depth facts about each of
these animals. "Python Peanut Butter Fudge" is their newest named creation, and
features a Burmese Python (among the largest snakes on earth, with adults capable of
reaching 23 ft). Thick with organic peanut butter, this python fudge retails for
$10.99 a pound.

Peanuts and peanut butter are smart options for consumers because they contribute
more than 30 essential nutrients and phytonutrients (like protein, vitamin E,
magnesium, phosphorus and manganese) and have zero cholesterol and no transfats.
According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) an ounce of peanuts
provides more than 10% of the Daily Reference Value (DV) for protein and Niacin,
while peanut butter is an excellent source of Niacin, containing 20% DV. Peanuts
are also included on a list of recommended nuts that are lower in saturated fat &
cholesterol, which may lower your chance of heart disease. According to the American
Heart Association, the best way to accomplish this is to eat less saturated fat,
trans fats and cholesterol, control your weight, and participate in physical
activity for at least 30 minutes each day.
