    This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Universal Pictures Home Entertainment, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #ThePitchesatWMT https://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

    Lamingtons

    I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I was about the release of Pitch Perfect 2. I absolutely loved the first movie, and the second is just as funny!

    Pitch perfect and Lamingtons

    When the movie was released last week, I quickly ran over to Walmart to pick up the Blue-Ray combo pack. I have a total of 6 hours per week that I am alone, making this the first time in years that I have free time without children. Although I usually spend it cleaning or working, I decided last week that I would have a TV day. It was so nice to sit around and watch my favorite movie in peace!

    Homemade Lamingtons

    Not only is the movie included in the pack, but also the soundtrack to Pitch Perfect 1 and 2! I have been jamming to the acapella Bellas ever since! I may have just replaced my Christmas music addiction!

    Perfect Lamingtons

    I just love all of the characters in Pitch Perfect 2, but of course my favorite is Fat Amy. She is absolutely the most hilarious character ever and her confidence is awesome! I wanted to make a dessert that reflected Amy, and since she is from Australia, Lamingtons were a must!

    Delicious Lamingtons

    Traditional Lamingtons are small sponge cakes dipped in chocolate and coated in coconut. Some people dip the cakes in a chocolate icing and some in regular chocolate. Obviously I picked the chocolate because well, chocolate. They had the perfect chocolate/cake ratio with every bite and all tied together perfectly with the chewy coconut. They are perfect little tea cakes and would make an excellent addition to your holiday cookie platter!

    Pitch perfect and snacks

    Make sure to head to Walmart to grab the exclusive Pitch Perfect 2 Blu-Ray/Soundtrack combo pack. Soundtrack includes some of your favorite songs from Pitch Perfect and Pitch Perfect 2 (while supplies last). 

    Peace out Pitches!
