Free Chocolate. [Plus a Williams Sonoma gift card!]
I am a chocolate snob. A big one.
So it comes as no surprise that I absolutely adore Sarris‘ chocolate since it is touted as “the world’s best chocolate.” Honestly – it is! I would know – I’ve done my fair share of chocolate tasting, especially with Sarris since they are right here in Pittsburgh.
Sarris‘ is full of nostalgia for me. With it being right down the road from my grandparents‘ house, we would take a trip to get ice cream and marvel at all of the chocolate creations. It is basically my mecca. My mom would also always buy multiple bags of chocolate covered pretzels to give as hostess gifts or to serve at a party, but I would inevitably discover them and eat them all before she could do so. I also use Sarris‘ in many of my chocolate covered treats, because it truly is one of my favorite chocolates. Right up there with Godiva. In fact, yesterday I melted a few milk chocolate bars [you can find them at Giant Eagle if you’re local] to make more cake batter bark, as well as a recipe you will see later this week. It is to die for.
And I only coat my strawberries with Sarris – nothin’ else!
The kind people at Sarris are giving away free chocolate to one How Sweet It Is reader – in the name of all things chocolate, you must give it a try! I would never lead you astray and would never give you something I didn’t adore. The lucky winner will receive chocolate covered pretzels (the best I’ve ever had) and a deluxe box of chocolate.
I’m throwing in a $25 Williams and Sonoma gift card because I am so appreciative to each and every one of you – without you there wouldn’t be a How Sweet It Is! You guys mean the world to me.
To enter: Simply leave a comment below telling me whatever your little heart desires. Of course, you can always follow along on Twitter and Facebook, but it is not required.
Winner will be chosen late tonight.
Have a fabulous Sunday!

I heart chocolate AND Williams Sonoma!
I love your blog. I love your recipes. and I MUST make your peanut butter pretzel truffles. NOW!
My mind is spinning trying to pin down my favourite chocolate so I can include it in my comment/entry. Ferrero rocher is poking at my brain the hardest right now. But I think any type of chocolate chunks that you find in cookie dough or cookie dough ice cream would be my number 1 choice
I finish my 1st semester of law school finals tomorrow and then my true heart’s desire-baking!! Love your blog and thanks for introducing me to Kristen Chenoweth’s Christmas cd!
Can I just say that I love that you’re not asking us to jump through hoops to enter???
I’ve been looking for a great chocolate to curb my cravings. Your blog is my absolute favorite!
ahhhh!!!! i am fiending chocolate now. your blog post may or may not have inspired me to go to the kitchen for some dark chocolate pb cups. and then return to leave a comment. cuz i couldn’t wait until after i commented, fo course! would love to win the sarris chocolate–never tried it here in cali!
I adore your website. All things chocolate and bacon warm my heart. The first time I read, way back when, I remember reading about you cooking with bacon grease, a practice I have long practiced but never revealed. At last someone who gets me. Love it!
hooray for chocolate and Williams Sonoma!!!!!! :) Awesome giveaway (and thanks for including Canada ;))
New to your blog but am loving all the fun recipes! Chocolate is one of my best friends so I am loving this post!!!
Honestly, I still dream of your shoe collection that you pictured several months ago! Those shoes were unbelievable!
This may be the best giveaway ever. :)
Also, I’ve been meaning to tell you this for a couple days and keep forgetting – I actually had a dream about your hot caprese dip the other night. I still havent made it in real life, but it was pretty fantastic in the dream!
I made the bark as a “thank you” for coming to my birthday party this weekend. I think all my girlfriends loved it. And putting that many sprinkles on food made me deliriously happy .
I honestly cannot imagine a world without chocolate – not only do I love it for its yummy goodness, but without it, I don’t think I’d survive a certain week each month! I haven’t yet tried Sarris, but am super anxious to do so now!
Thank you for this wonderful giveaway!
Oh my word! Look at all the responses on here! You ROCK! Putting my comment here at the end and crossing my fingers!
Chocolate makes my heart go pitter patter :) (And I really need to make that cake batter bark!!)
yumm! chocolatee!
Sounds awesome! Haven’t been to Pittsburgh yet since I moved to PA but my boyfriend is from there so I’m sure I’ll be there sooner or later, and I’ll have to check this stuff out! :)
So I got a Twitter yesterday, and I can tell it’s already feeding my ADD self. I’m about to follow you.
Oh, and the cake batter bark? Um, YES.
That is all.
If I promise to use the chocolate on bacon does it increase my chances of winning :-)
Um…my heart desires a piece of that cake batter bark….stat! In fact, I think I’ll go make some right now!
Despite eating 4 peppermint joe joes just now, I could so go for some quality chocolate!
I am finally making cake batter bark right now! My store was out of ghirardelli white chocolate for the longest time, and it was driving me crazy. The only problem is, I am having a hard time waiting for it to harden before I eat it!
I think I just discovered that a Williams-Sonoma giftcard is what I truly desire and after hearing you rave about that chocolate I would love to try it.
What a great Christmas giveaway! I heart chocolate very much.
Being new to da Burgh, looks like I need to get myself to Sarris.
cool giveaway… not sure what I would be more excited about. The chance to try this “best chocolate” or the gift card… either individually cool, but both together, wonderful! Thanks for taking the time to post! I really do love reading this site.
I love love love your blog….and must try the cookie dough dip soon! =)
Merry Christmas Jessica. Thank you for all you do!! It’s a pleasure to read your blog!!!
i’m definitely a choco-holic! but i’ve never heard of sarris!
You have me wanting some Sarris candy now. I am heading to PA tomorrow. I might have to go pick some up.
Yay for Sarris chocolate! We always pick up a bag of their Chocolate-Covered Pretzels for my dad’s stocking every Christmas (we get ours at Giant Eagle, too!)
So sweet of you to host this giveaway. I absolutely love reading your blog and seeing your creative baking ideas :) Happy holidays!
Love your blog…want some chocolate…!
Pick me, pick me! I want to try out cake batter bark as soon as possible and I may as well do it with the best chocolate ever.
Brownie a la mode sundae. Favorite dessert ever and it’s been far too long!
I feel as though I’m not worthy–I’ve never had Saris chocolate!!
I am not usually an enterer of giveaways, but this is a good one! Love, love your blog…I am planning to make your cake batter bark with christmas sprinkles!!
Chocolate and Williams-Sonoma, two of my favorite things!!! Thanks for your recipes and not sparing any of the fat or sugar!!
My little heart desires winning some chocolate so I hope that telling you that in this comment helps me do that :)
Chocolate always fulfills my heart’s desire. Also, bacon, nuf said :)
I love reading your blog – each post puts a smile on my face! Thanks for all of your wonderful recipes – we looooove the BBQ chicken quesadillas! :) Merry Christmas!
Oh yummy sounds good!!
I shouldn’t be trying to win chocolate after consuming a chunk of two layer fudge today and I do mean chunk. Thanks for the contest!
My heart desires to be in California with my family!! Sometimes its the things you can’t buy with money that your heart desires the most.
I peaked at the Sarris website and everything looks amazing. Double chocolate dipped nuts are my favorite!
Hello, Mrs. How Sweet!!! I made the cake batter bark for a party this past Wednesday. It was a HUGE hit! :)
I love chocolate (who doesn’t?!), but have never had Sarris’, maybe I’ll have some to try soon! :) If not, I’ll have to find some anyway. haha.
Thanks for all the amazing recipes!
~*Andi*~
Yay for free chocolate!
I live in TX but all the family is in Pittsburgh…so I know the brilliance that is Sarris Candies since it was at every important family gathering! What a great memory.
I’m moving to Wyoming from Arizona the day after Christmas and I’m both beyond excited and thrilled, and also terrified!
Merry Christmas!
Jessica,I want to win the chocolate and gift card because I too am a chocolate snob. In fact, I used to work at Godiva when I was in college and it’s the only kind I eat now that I have had the best, there us no turning back! I deserve it because I will appreciate it more than anyone! Please please consider me!!!!! It would make my 2010 as I have been hinting to my husband that nothing would please me more than a great box of gourmet chocolate. I’ve been channelling this so much that tonight I even made chocolate dipped strawberries and pineapple with store brand chocolate and something was very wrong with it!!!!
