Ghirardelli LUXE Milk Chocolate GIVEAWAY (CLOSED)

Do I really need to say more than “chocolate” and “giveaway” in the same title to get your attention?

I didn’t think so.

But I do know of something that can make that sweet sound of chocolate ever better…Ghirardelli!  And if you are a milk chocolate fan, than this is the chocolate for you.

In 2009 (which makes me wonder how I went an entire year with out know about this) Ghirardelli introduced LUXE Milk Chocolate.  There are four flavors to tempt your sweet tooth, LUXE Milk, Almond, Hazelnut and Toffee.

•    LUXE MILK Almond – Toasted almonds contribute a clean, crisp taste to complement and enhance the flavors of the creamy-sweet milk chocolate base.
•    LUXE MILK Hazelnut – Lavished throughout this bar, all-natural deep-roasted hazelnuts add crunch and a distinctive, sophisticated flavor.
•    LUXE MILK – This bar delivers the ultimate premium milk chocolate experience – pure, all-natural milk chocolate with a velvety texture that melts smoothly in your mouth.
•    LUXE MILK Toffee – This all natural, rich and creamy milk chocolate made from the finest cocoa beans is perfectly matched with buttery, crunchy toffee bits.

I received four coupons in the mail so that I could try all four flavors and tell you about them.  I was so very disappointed when I got to my local Alberstons to find that they only carried the Almond and Hazelnut varieties.  Neither of these would be my first choice.  I am not typically a “nut in my chocolate” kinda gal.  But I figured since it was Ghirardelli Chocolate and I would sacrifice myself to the nut in the name of science…or product review.

I can tell you that even this non-nut girl loved these LUXE Milk Chocolates!  I scarfed two bags of chocolate *blush* in as many days.  I did find it in my heart to share a couple pieces with my mom and boys, but I’m ashamed to say that I ate most of them on my own (sorry, Bob.  I know I told you I shared, but I didn’t).

I loved and ate my chocolate so fast that I forgot to take a picture, and I love that it’s made with 100% natural ingredients!

Now, in celebration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, beginning October1st and continuing through the end of December, chocolate lovers can purchase the specially marked LUXE MILK chocolates and receive a special code in the package.  Just enter this unique code at www.ghirardelli.com/LuxeMilk and LUXE MILK will donate $1 to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.  As an added bonus, LUXE MILK will provide consumers with hundreds of instant prizes in this “Walk a Mile in My Shoes” instant win promotion, including Cole Haan gift cards

This is a great way to get your chocolate fix and support a cause that is near and dear to a lot of our hearts.

GIVEAWAY/REVIEW ~ Celebrate Chocolate Truffles (Closed)

mycelebrate

Oh, yeah.  I said CHOCOLATE!  Who can resist chocolate?  I know I can’t.  It’s one of my vices.  I love it.  A lot.  So when Celebrate Life Nutrition contacted me to review their Celebrate Chocolate Truffles, I said “heck yeah!”

Their slogan is “Celebrate Your Hunger.”  This is from their website:

Have you ever tried to lose weight?

While you were trying to lose weight, did you feel sensuous – sexy?

When you were trying to lose weight, did you ever feel hungry?

A year after you were trying to lose weight, did you keep the weight off?

Would you like new answers to these questions?

Weight loss is about controlling your appetite. And cutting your cravings. When you do that, weight loss is a natural result.

When you lose weight steadily, naturally, and keep it off, you’ll feel sexy again. In control of your appetite, you regain control of your life.

If trying to lose weight was difficult, discouraging, and ultimately unsuccessful a year later, then its time for you to do something different.

Satisfy your hunger. Control your appetite. Cut your cravings. With Celebrate Chocolates you’ll eat less and succeed.
