Who Wants Chocolate? (A Giveaway!)

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!

  1. 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.)

  14. 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.

  18. 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.
