Would You Like Dessert With That? ~ Dads Need Chocolate Too - See's Candies Giveaway

**This giveaway is now closed.**



Yay - we made it to Friday (and it's my son's last day of school - woo hoo!)! Instead of Chocolate Friday today, it's Dessert Friday. That doesn't mean no chocolate, it just means that we also allow the non-chocolate desserts to come hang out with the chocolate.

I do happen to have chocolate for you today - very good chocolate! I'm talking See's candy, people! Stick with me for giveaway details. Father's Day is approaching so I want to help out those chocolate-loving Dads! I can think of 2 good reasons to give chocolate to dads: 1-they probably really like it and wish you'd give it to them more often, and 2-they'll probably share some with you! :)

See's Candies has some really cute Father's Day themed candy.

If you don't have a store near you, you can order it and have it mailed.

Did you know that See's Candies has been around for more than 85 years? They have over 200 stores, a few of which are close to me! I stop in regularly to stock up on one of our favorite candies (shhh, it's not chocolate!) - Peppermint Twists. And of course, when I stop in, I am always given a free candy to sample. Yum! And I adore their truffles!

Good news for you - and maybe for the dads in your life if you share! See's Candies graciously gave me something to give away - a certificate good for one free pound of candy! Wow!! All you have to do to enter is tell me which See's candy is your favorite or would be your favorite! I'll keep the giveaway open through Sunday evening and announce the winner on Monday so I can mail your certificate in time for you to get a Father's Day gift! **ETA - I have decided to extend the giveaway through Monday evening, 6/8!**

Now it's your turn to link up some chocolate or desserts today! Yes, Mr. Linky looks a little different, but don't be scared - just click on the button to link up or see all the yummy links.

I'll even show you a couple of desserts that I posted on my other blog:






OK, leave a comment so you can be entered in the giveaway and then come back to link up your chocolate or dessert posts! And don't forget to share the chocolate with the dads in your life! :)

  1. The Custom Mix box is very appealing! My favorite would be Mocha, but my son picks the Dark Chocolate Truffle. That's why we need the mix! :)

  3. I guess I'll save the yummy chocolate dessert we tried this week for another time and share this Hawaiian Dessert that I made for a luau-party. It was really good too!

    I missed See's when we moved away from California, and was so excited when I learned you could order by phone (this was a while ago!). I love everything in the Nuts and Chews assortment, although I prefer the ones with both caramel and milk chocolate.
