See’s Chocolate Is A Finger Food!

Readers, I have been promising you a chocolate-centric post for weeks, plus a giveaway, and I am finally rewarding you for your patience! You’re sweet to keep coming back, and now I can tell you about the sweets, sweets!

Several weeks ago, I received this email from a nice man from See’s Candies:

I happened upon your blog…and I’d like to ask you a couple of questions if I may.  Do you feel that you would enjoy sampling some of our chocolates and reviewing us on your blog?  If so, do you feel that it would be fitting for your blog’s theme and well received by your readership? 

Well, of COURSE I would enjoy sampling some See’s chocolates! Who wouldn’t? But, is it fitting for my theme?

[insert sound of crickets chirping]

Oh, right, my theme. My Theme! What is my theme? Do I even have one?? Well, no matter, because frankly, I cast a Very Wide Net here, and chocolate definitely fits. In fact, it could be said that chocolate never doesn’t fit. Assuming one likes to speak in double negatives, that is.

So I said sure, and not just because I remember my grandma’s church selling this as a springtime fundraiser. And because I’m not shy, I asked if See’s would consider providing a little something extra that I could use in a giveaway contest, and they said yes! I figured with Easter just around the corner, it’s likely that my reader(s) will need to stock up on some Easter candy (because nothing says “The Lord Is Risen!” like a large, 10-ounce hollow milk chocolate rabbit!).

Despite the fact that the pound of mixed nuts and chews chocolates arrived in my home at the same time as a pallet approximately 10 boxes of Girl Scout Cookies, I bravely and methodically began sampling.  

See's Candies: Assorted Nuts & Chews

After completing my exhaustive research, I can tell you this: See’s chocolate is really, really good!  It was fresh, the chewy centers were chewy, the milk chocolate was creamy and the dark chocolate had that unmistakable “zip.” My favorite pieces had nuts in them, because nuts and chocolate? Truly an unbeatable combination in my opinion. Oh, and the toffees! Those rocked.

The bottom line? This candy is a high-quality product. If you have a craving for chocolate candies, See’s will not disappoint. Thanks, See’s, for allowing me to enjoy a box of chocolates!

Here’s the part where I get to share the love – and the chocolate! See’s is generously providing one $25 (USD) gift card for me to give away.  So, if you love chocolate, or know someone who does, this would be a great way to help stock the Easter baskets this year. (Thanks, See’s!)
