CHOCOLATE.COM YUMMY GIVEAWAY!

GIVEAWAY ENDED
FINE CHOCOLATE for FINE OCCASIONS

A Unique Chocolate Marketplace

Every once in a while, dreams do come true! Imagine being asked what kind of chocolate I would like to have? My answer, "There isn't a chocolate I've met that I don't like".

This is the conversation that started off in my being able to sample some of the fine chocolates from CHOCOLATE.COM so that I could talk about this WONDERFUL company that has kindly offered my blog something to give away that some of you just might like!

With all the candy around for Halloween, it got me thinking of really FINE chocolate and how happy was I when I came upon an opportunity to work with the wonderful people at CHOCOLATE.COM!

BUSINESS WEEK called them "An Online Emporium", and that is just the tip of the iceberg, or in this case, the chocolate! CHOCOLATE.COM has every kind of chocolate one can imagine and for every kind of occasion. With Halloween and then Thanksgiving and Christmas close behind, this is a shopper's answer to any and all gifts you might be trying to find. From "Shop by Season" to "Shop by Gift Type", from "Shop by Occasion" to "Shop by Price", you can find anything your chocolate-loving heart desires and best of all, from the finest places across the world.

In another section they break it down so you can "Shop by Chocolate" meaning you can look into:

          
CHOCOLATE TRUFFLES      DARK CHOCOLATE

      

            WHITE CHOCOLATE

MILK CHOCOLATE            

GOURMET CHOCOLATE

Finding what I was going to taste was SO hard, but I finally decided on some truffles with different flavors and some candy for Halloween. 
I received a Four Piece Dark Chocolate Truffle Box from Olde Naples Chocolates in Naples, FL. (to my delight as that means I could take a little trip across my state to their store if I wanted to)!

Described as "Four of our favorite truffle flavors packaged in a great gold box ready for all of your gift giving needs. Each truffle is handcrafted and hand painted. Each assortment contains the following favors, Key Lime, Raspberry, Chocolate and Espresso." And they were divine! The first one I tried is my favorite truffle and that was the Raspberry. The dark chocolate was smooth and rich and when you bit into it the center was a luscious raspberry filling with just the right amount of a sweet tang to make it taste like you were eating fresh raspberries. The others were no different and I made them last (not for long) so the Espresso flavor made it like a four course meal!

 

My second choice was to try some Halloween chocolates. There is so much to choose from but I decided to settle on Chocolate Dipped Nutter Butters Ghosts and Mummy Designs again from Olde Naples Chocolates in Naples, FL. They were described as "Our ghost and mummys are a Peanut Butter Nutter Butter cookies drenched in our premium chocolate. The ghost is drenched in white chocolate and decorated with sugar eyes and our mummy is dipped in our milk chocolate. 5 nutter butters are included in our clear gift box".

I was a little hesitant as I am not a huge peanut butter candy fan but when they arrived, they were so cute and in such a pretty presentation, I was delighted at first glance. When I tasted first a chocolate "mummy", I was happily surprised because it was crispy but not really in a cookie way but more like a Butter Finger type shredded crisp if you know what I mean. The covering of chocolate was milky smooth and the whole thing together was really delicious. I ate the whole thing after taking the picture below because I knew if I didn't take it at this point, there would be nothing to show. I am saving the other 4 little guys and trying to ration myself to one a day but we shall see how that goes.

I think Chocolate.com is a great discovery (as I hadn't been here before) and I love all the things I tasted and see on their site. Some of the holiday gifts are so lovely, I don't know where to begin. I know you will enjoy checking them all out.  Be sure an look at the section "Shop by Confection" as they have more than just candy. It includes Brownies, Cakes, Cookies, Fudge and more as well as all the chocolates.
