In 2008 B. Lloyd's announced a multi-year partnership with celebrity cook, Paula Deen. The announcement came on the heels of B. Lloyd's newest product launch of glazed nut salad toppers and ice cream toppers.

"I'm so excited to have found this wonderful company practically in my backyard," said Ms. Deen. "As soon as I tasted these glazed nuts, I couldn't put them down."

"They make an ordinary salad special, and they're wonderful by themselves just as a snack. And as soon as I tasted them I started thinking how much potential they have for all kinds of recipes, too. It's no wonder that this company is growing so fast!"

Ms. Deen immediately set to work creating wonderful new recipes using B. Lloyd's products. She will continue to expand her recipe collection on the B Lloyd's website in the coming years.
