Chocolate Giveaway

Misc

It’s a bit last minute so I’ll have to make this short—but also very sweet! I’ve got two Ferrero Chocolate Christmas Tree gift boxes filled with Ferrero chocolates to give away. Add a comment below with something about chocolate, a favorite recipe or your favorite treat, by Saturday 5pm PST. I’ll use a random number generator to pick two winners!

Ferrero has donated these to bring awareness to the Share Our Strength program. They have donated $150,000 to Share Our Strength and are giving others a chance to add to that donation. Right now, if you log on to Share Something Sweet and use it to “send something sweet” (that is, a customizable e-card), Ferrero will donate another $1 per e-card sent, up to $10,000. And for every person that joins the Ferrero Facebook page, “Ferrero Lovers Unite,” Ferrero will donate another $1 to Share Our Strength (up to $1,000).

Check back on Sunday and I’ll announce the winners!

    It is great to see a company doing this kind of promotion, and to see Ellen’s friends as the lucky ones to be on the receiving end of the chocolates.

    I’m a chocolate lover like any other — but I do have one additional thought, if more of the world ate chocolate, it would surely be a better place. Right? I mean who isn’t in a better mood after that first bite? Who doesn’t feel energized, even if only for a moment, after that final bite? Who wouldn’t be a tad nicer if supplied with an adequate supply of the brown stuff?

    So maybe we should donate the trees and many, many, many others?

    This holiday season i made some double-chocolate cookies with cranberries. They were so delicious. Nothing is better than a warm chocolate cookie…

    This is great! I love them chocolates! My favorite chocolate treat would have to be chocolate pudding….cooked on stovetop with real chocolate.

    There should be a national holiday in honor of chocolate. No work or school allowed, just happiness!

    I have a new dipping Love. CHOCOLATE I melt chocolate and dip what ever I can in it. This Holiday season, I made Pizzelle cookies dipped them in chocolate and then sprinkeled with crushed candy canes. Believe it or not, ME who is not a cook at all, was a hit at the ornament exchange party with my chocolate dipped cookies.
    Happy Holidays to al

    Added them to facebook. That is a great idea.

    Anyways, I don’t do much cooking anymore. But I am addicted to chocolate covered marshmallow. Everyine else must be too, since I can never find them. :(

    I often wonderd what chocolate coverd fruitcake bites would taste like.

    Seriously, if it’s dark chocolate, then it’s the right thing to do.

    A nightly mug of hot chocolate chases the winter chill away and helps me sleep better.
