Who Wants Chocolate? (A Giveaway!)

December 2, 2008 by Elaine

I find it a little ironic that I’m trying to lose some weight but my blog continues to be about food. What’s that about anyway? Well in this case, I’m givin’ it away and won’t be eating it myself. So… there is a method to my madness! Who knew?!

See’s Candies emailed me last week and asked if I would be willing to review or giveaway some of their products. And being the generous soul that I am, I figured I’d give some away. Am I a good friend or what?!

They have wonderfully tasty chocolates (I can vouch for that from my sorid chocolate past…) and you can get many Chocolate gifts and even do Chocolate fundraisers through them!

If you would like to a win a $25.00 gift card just in time for the holidays to See’s here’s how you can win!

*Leave a comment here telling me what you would use your free money towards on their site. You know you want to look, so go on over there… {excuse me while I wipe the drool off of my laptop…}

*If you want extra entries tweet about this giveaway and/or follow me. If you already follow me or start, let me know in a separate comment. If you tweet about it, let me know that in another comment. Otherwise, it no countie, k?

The contest runs until midnight (CST) on Friday, December 5th. I will announce the winner the following day.

Good luck and happy eating!

    What the heck? How has no one left a comment about this delicious giveaway? I would buy the California brittle and the toffee-ettes. I love butter with chocolate. (I would have to throw in $5… well worth it.)

    I so totally don’t need this but how can I resist? The “Nuts & Chews” are calling my name.

    Hello! Dream come true!

    I’d get the custom mix box and fill it with all dark Bordeaux’s!! Then buy a bag of foil balls for the kids!

    Total drool moment! Thanks for the chance!

    I’d definitely buy some of their Peanut Brittle (probably 10oz.) and a 1 lb. pkg of Milk Chocolate Nuts & Chews. Mmm…Great way to start the holiday season. Thank you so much for the chance.

    I am trying to loose weight also but if I won, I would give it to a friend who is like a mother to me. See’s is her favorite and I have had a hard time thinking of what to get her for christmas this year. That would be perfect. PERFECT.

    I grew up in CA so See’s Candies has nostalgia value for me. =) For the sweet memories, I would buy $25 worth of Peanut Butter Lollipops and share them with my sisters.

    I know..the horror. No chocolate. But trust me, if you like PB at all, you will ADORE those lollipops.

    I think I would be a good wife & give the diabetic some of the dark sugar free bars, because I’m sweet and deserve that Tiffany’s necklace I’m gonna buy, right?

  15. valerie2350 says

    December 2, 2008 at 8:52 pm

  18. Sarai says

    December 2, 2008 at 9:10 pm

    I’m so busy wiping away drool that I can barely type my comment…smile. I would choose Egg Nog Truffles or Peanut Brittles. Got a few guys in Iraq who would go crazy over Sees. Heck they’d probably go straight for this instead of their gifts….lol.

    OH I can feel the fat growing on my bum… but Nuts & Chews are sooo worth it! Would have to get me a pound of it (1 pound of See’s should only equal a pound on my scale, right?)

    My grandmother has given my mom a box of See’s every year for Christmas for as long as I can remember. I haven’t visited the site yet, but I’m pretty sure I would focus on caramel and nougat fillings.

  31. tricki_nicki says

    December 3, 2008 at 2:01 am

  32. Elaine says

    December 3, 2008 at 2:08 am

    We can not have the candy in our house but I would definately use it to buy some teacher,mailman and hairstylist gifts. And of course I would definately buy the white chocolate because that is my favorite.

  33. Kristen says

    December 3, 2008 at 2:57 am

    I no longer live in a city that has See’s stores, and I miss my See’s! I would get a custom box of their raspberry soft centers, which is the one flavor I miss most of all.
