Sweetly Raw: Free Raw Chocolate Giveaway!

Free Raw Chocolate Giveaway!

Today I've got a few treats to share - to give away actually! ... as you know, I'm a serious dessert lover - even more passionate about chocolate. I make a lot of chocolate - truffles, bars, clusters, and turtles. You may remember that I made choccies for Christmas gifts . Here's a little review...

Chocolate Caramel Nut Crunch Squares

Inside Peek

Fruit & Nut Clusters

Truffles: Coconut, Butter Toffee, Dark Chocolate Orange, Cinnamon Spice, Canadian Maple, Cardamom

More Truffles!

My favourite creation is the Chocolate Turtle, based on the original pecan/caramel/chocolate covered creation that pretty much everyone is familiar with.

I've been making these gems for a long time, but they made a special appearance at a David Wolfe event last September in Calgary. I made 400 turtles and they disappeared in minutes!

I brought some of my chocolate to the gang in NYC a few weeks ago. Check out the video below:

Freshly dipped turtles... Mmm!

As the title of today's post says, I've decided to do a:

Free Chocolate Turtles & Just Desserts Recipe Book Giveaway!

That's right, a home-made box of my chocolate turtles and one of my Just Desserts Recipe books. I'm still in the US, so it's easy for me to send within the country rather cheaply (as opposed to from Canada) - and Easter is comin up, so I thought it would be fun (I found the cutest easter box the other day to send them).

To Enter:

All you need to do is answer the 2 Questions below (I look forward to hearing from you).

It'll be a random draw, and the cut off is Sunday March 7 at midnight.

I'll then email you (make sure I have access to your email addy) to get your home address and your goodies will be on their way.

I will require your mailing addy by the next day, Monday March 8, otherwise I'll pick another name (I figure this is reasonable since most people are on the computer daily).

If you already have my book, you can pass it to a friend by sending their addy and I'll email them a copy!

Questions:

1. What was your favourite childhood chocolate/candy treat?

2. What is your favourite chocolate treat these days?

I'll go first and show you how its done...

My Answers:

1. Smarties & Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

2. Chocolate TURTLES!

** Feel free to post this on Facebook, Twitter, or your own Blog. I will be hosting more giveaways in the future, and just love spreading the choccie vibes.

Hurray for chocolate! Have a beautiful day!

1) It would most likely be a tie with Twix bars and Turtles (anything caramel really)

I've been attempting to make some raw chocolates at home. Do you make your own or do you melt already made raw chocolate bars for your treats? I can't get mine to be hard enough.; Thursday, March 04, 2010
barefoot_and_frolicking said...: Wow! Heather, I had no idea you made choccies for David Wolfe! Awesome. Well, here is my little story:

I was so infatuated with candy, chocolate, et al, that my darling aunt used to tell me my favorite bed-time story 'The Land of Candy' whenever she would 'baby-sit' me. The 'land' was made entirely out of candy! I remember the clouds were cotton candy, and the swimming pool was filled with liquid chocolate. Hahah anyways ;-)

My favorite chocolate as a child was:

1. Walnut Whips (back then, they were a special treat from relatives in England).
2. anything chocolate that has been made with RAW CACAO! I've been converted, never going back to SAD chocolate, evah :-) I especially dig chocolate truffles.; Thursday, March 04, 2010

Mel said...: Well I already have the E-Book, but I can't resist chocolate, so I have to answer lol.

I can combine this into one because my favourite chocolate treat remains the same, except now it's a Raw Version.

My favourite raw treat was and will always be, licking out the bowl and spoon and eating the gooey chocolate batter mixture.

As a kid I loved Mars bars and malted milk bars.
Now, I keep raw balls in the freezer - made with almonds, coconut, carob. Or a great avocado, banana and carob pudding is wonderful. Can't imagine what those turtles taste like!!!; Friday, March 05, 2010
Joanne Thompson said...: Hi Heathy!

1. Childhood favourite - has to be Thornton's Viennese truffles (not sure if you can get Thornton's chocs in Canada or US).

2. I've only recently starting experimenting with raw chocolate goodies. I made my first raw chocolate a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe how easy and how GOOD it was. So my answer is pure, unadulterated, raw chocolate!! I would love your ebook to help me into the world of raw desserts and convert my friends over here in England.

My hubby and I are going to NYC in August (my first time - yay!) and I can't wait to find some new sweety favourites at One Lucky Duck. Thanks for your great recent NY posts.

Laurel Alanna McBrine said...: Oooh, this would be such a treat.

Then: Hard to pick, but probably KitKat - I wasn't too discriminating and would often choose a wagon wheel (probably giving away my age here) because they were 5 cents instead of 10 cents.

Now: My current favorite is the recipe I recently created for Raw Fudgy Chocolate Fruit and Nut Macaroons - every time I pass the freezer I sneek one.

I just made a post on my blog to advertise your giveaway even though it will decrease my slim chances of winning this coveted prize :)

Samara Anne said...: 1) Twix bars!!! I would take half an hour to eat one. I'd dit there, slowly peel off the chocolate and eat it, then bite off all the caramel, then suck on the cooie until it dissolved in my mouth! Sooo good!

1.) I have a few childhood favorites: Twix, Mars Bar, Kit Kat and Oatmeal Creme Pies!

2.) I've been making my own raw chocolates using a Cherry Cordial Mold and I've been filling them with a Lucuma concoction that I made up... to resemble caramel. They're pretty good, but i'm sure yours are better :)

archangelfeathers said...: Childhood was Cadbury's Cream Egg! Not enough choc of course but the combo of choc and all that colored sugar - had me zinging for hours!
These days I love to make my own truffles but if I buy something its usually Righteously Raw bars or Ulimana truffles. I am also known for eating cacao paste chunks straight up. (Do you think I have a problem...??!!); Friday, March 05, 2010
kaywilson331 said...: I LOVED fruity Starburst chews as a kid (and actually wasn't a huge fan of chocolate...gasp! My mother always marveled at how I was the only kid to turn down candy bars like Snickers, etc.) I think my lack of love for chocolate had something to do with a lack of exposure to GOOD chocolate (all I knew of back then was Hershey's).

Nowadays I now LOVE organic Dark chocolate...the darker the better (like 85%)!! Which is why my favorite dessert is raw chocolate because I can control the quality (and quantity) of cocoa and all the other ingredients in order to make the PERFECT (and Healthiest) sweet treat!!

Great post btw!; Friday, March 05, 2010
chaunceypants said...: mmm... is the turtle recipe in the Just Desserts Book?

mikelle said...: mmmmmmmmm.......chocolate is my favorite subject :) as a kid, i pretty much liked anything with chocolate in it, particularly twix and chunky (which must have been why i was always told "you're not fat honey, you're chunky). these days, i still pretty much like anything with chocolate - of course raw chocolate. hard to pick just one...so i have to say that TODAY, my favorite chocolate treat is kristen's hazelnut macaroons!; Friday, March 05, 2010

shannonmarie said...: Okay, I know how to make chocolate, but I'd much rather have them arrive at my door, especially if it is from you :-)

As a child I loved just about every candy, so it is hard to pick just one. Sometimes I had to be enticed by the packaging or some gimmick. With that in mind, I guess I'd pick candy jewelry, because I felt pretty wearing it.

When it came to chocolate, I could eat it all, too, but I really have a special memory of Junior Mints. My Nanny, who is no longer around, used to give them to me.

I enjoy raw chocolate like your truffles, but lately, I've been making less sweet puddings. I try to make non chocolate varieties every once and a while. They just aren't the same as the chocolate ones.; Saturday, March 06, 2010

Jes said...: Oh my goodness...I would LOVE to be entered into this drawing...

I've been really fighting with eating better and my normal downfall is due to my sweettooth! Juicing/Smoothies...no problem...sweet tooth is horrible though despite adding so many greens! I'm just naturally sweet I guess! ;) But on a serious note, most of my extended family is morbidly obese and I am terrified for not just my own life, but my childrens. Our food habits tend to lead to a path I don't want to continue following...I've seen the end result. I want to be able to enjoy my life with my children, not sit and watch while I catch my breath...or worse...

I'd really love the chance to learn how to eat sweets that are better for my body..so to answer your questions:

1. Snickers...loved loved loved them as a child...

2. Nowadays...I'd have to say literally any chocolate/caramel combination! I have stayed pretty true to my love of sweets! ;)

Thank you for this opportunity to learn more about how to feed my family and sweet addiction naturally!

Have a beautiful day!
