Meet the Great Chocolate Giveaway Winners!

Great Chocolate Giveaway Winners with their pretty prize

Life is sweeter for four people today. Congratulations Adrienne, Carren, Charlie, and Denise!

To celebrate Married to Chocolate's big fat anniversary last month, Ghirardelli and I gave away four big fat baskets of chocolate to whoever answered one of life's toughest questions best: Why do you deserve free chocolate? Check out the winning entries in this post!

Here's a big THANK YOU to Ghirardelli for sponsoring the Great Chocolate Giveaway and here's a bigger THANK YOU to everyone who joined! I had a blast celebrating the anniversary with you guys.

Keep coming back, you hear? It's going to be an exciting year.

Love,
 - Kris Alcantara

PS
To the international entries (Hey Manila!), due to shipping constraints, I'm really sorry I couldn't let you guys win. I will make it up to you somehow!

The Great Chocolate Give Away

 

 This is my reason. What's yours?

Tell me why you deserve free chocolate and I'll give you some!

I'm very excited to tell you that Married to Chocolate turns one this month and as a thank you, this chocolate chick is giving away big fat baskets of Ghirardelli chocolate.

I'm going to make it real easy for you. Leave a comment on this post and answer me this:

"I deserve free Ghirardelli chocolate because ____________________."

The most creative answer wins a basket of Ghirardelli chocolates-a $60 value, mind you. Contest starts May 1 and ends May 28 at 12NN. One winner will be chosen every week.** Winning entries will be posted on the Married To Chocolate Facebook page so make sure you're a fan!

 Feast your eyes on the prize

The good folks at Ghirardelli reached out to me to help them promote their Ghirardelli Moments campaign so if you have a second today, visit their website and share yours. You get to win tons of cool prizes, including a trip for two to famous Ghirardelli Squares around the world (San Francisco, New York, London, and Venice). They have a photo contest going on too. Look at what my friends Suzy and Mino did at the Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco last March.

 The challenge was to take a photo of a Ghirardelli moment. This is Suzy and Mino.. "thinking."

So? What are you waiting for?

Surprise me.

** Pssst, US Only! We need a US address to ship the chocolates to!

Chocolate of Choice: Ghirardelli's Dark Chocolate with Mint

Her Chocolate of Choice Ghirardelli's Dark Chocolate with White Mint Filling

Since I can only pick one (?!)...Ghiradelli's Dark Chocolate with White Mint Filling always cures my chocolate craving.  These are best stored in the freezer and enjoyed for an after-dinner snack...or any time of the day.  I love these chocolate squares because they are the perfect balance of something sweet and refreshing (and I don't feel bad eating it because it is dark chocolate haha).

Chocolate of Choice: Ghirardelli

I love Ghirardelli because it covers all areas of a chocolate lover’s world. Apart from their chocolate squares, I’m a big fan of their baking chips, hot cocoa powder, and instant brownie mixes. Your friends will think you’re a baking genius, it almost feels like cheating. And their World Famous Hot Fudge Sundae? I have no words.
