Caramel & Chocolate Showdown (+ a Giveaway!)

July 27, 2010 by Julie 385 Comments

Woohoo for yummy lunches!

Today I enjoyed a PBF favorite… a noodle bowl!

Noodle Bowl + Cheeeeeese

My bowl o’ pasta was a bit different today, as it did not include my beloved red sauce. Instead I opted for a cheesy sauce made with melted Laughing Cow light original Swiss cheese wedge and Babybel cheese.

Laughing Cow + Babybel

The combination of the two cheese flavors was delicious and definitely stood out against the chopped spinach and lightly steamed broccoli I also included in the bowl.

Lunchtime!

Though my bowl of noodly goodness was pretty darn fantastic, something else managed to steal the show.

Oikos Caramel Greek Yogurt

So stinkin’ good!

Last week Stonyfield (the company that makes Oikos organic Greek yogurt) sent me some coupons to sample their new caramel and chocolate Greek yogurt.

If you read this blog with any regularity, you know I am basically in love with Greek yogurt for its creamy texture and fantastic protein content, so naturally I jumped at the chance to try the new dessert-like flavors.

All I can say is hoooooooly (organic) cow! 😀

Both flavors were incredibly delicious, though I think for the first time in my entire life I preferred the caramel variety to the chocolate.

I really liked how the caramel and chocolate “topping” was located at the bottom of the cup, because it allowed me to enjoy as much or as little of the sweetness I wanted to at any given bite. Gotta love a healthy way to satisfy that sweet tooth!

Caramel Heaven

Eat Up!

Now that I’ve all but professed my love for these new flavas, it’s your turn to give ’em a try!

Oikos is offering one reader a Chocolate Indulgence Giveaway Package that includes:

  • 1 coupon for a free Green & Black Organic Chocolate Bar
  • 1 sample of Numi Organic Chocolate tea
  • 1 Dagoba/Eco Lips Organic Chocolate chapstick
  • 1 Skinnyskinny real cocoa organic soap bar
  • 2 free coupons for Chocolate and Caramel Oikos multipacks
  • Recipe card set featuring Chocolate Cheesecake, as well Oikos spatula

To enter this giveaway, simply comment on this post, telling me what dish that involves chocolate or caramel is your favorite. For additional entries follow Stonyfield on Twitter or become a fan of Stonyfield on Facebook and comment back telling me you did so.

A winner will be randomly select a winner tomorrow afternoon. Good luck!!!

    A couple weeks ago I was about to board a plane home from San Francisco and was feeling severely ill and not at all looking forward to sitting on a plane for the next 5 hours. I bought a bottle of water at a Ghiradelli chocolate stand and they gave me a free piece of Chocolate with caramel inside. Needless to say, it saved my life.

    Oh WOW that yogurt looks phenomenal!!
    It’s awfully difficult to choose a favorite chocolate or caramel recipe, but a few at the top of my list: butter pecan sundae with banana and caramel sauce; chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel frosting; and good old caramel apples. mmmmm!!

    I’m usually a chocolate fanatic myself, but my latest caramel obsession has to be the salted caramel ice cream at a local ice cream parlor by my house. I even ordered their ice cream cake for my birthday this year with that and their chocolate flavor. It’s amazing!

    Brownies are my ultimate indulgence when it comes to chocolate. As for caramel, snickers all the way. And I agree about this yogurt – I’ve been enjoying it as a post-dinner treat. So delicious!
