Who Wants Chocolate?

February 3, 2011 by Julie 547 Comments

After basically ignoring vegetables yesterday, I wanted to be sure to incorporate a bunch of the nutritious little guys in my lunch this afternoon.

Naturally, a salad seemed like the easiest way to do this!

Thursday's Lunch

In the mix:

  • Shredded iceberg lettuce
  • Large carrot, chopped
  • Orange bell pepper, chopped
  • One celery stalk, chopped
  • Roast beef
  • Pace black bean and roasted corn salsa

Reunited with the Veg

Phew! The salsa had a kick to it and made this whole salad taste very flavorful!

I was thankful for a cup of Greek yogurt to cool my mouth down a bit after this meal.

I was also quite grateful for some Guylian chocolate.

Guylian

I’m always open to a little creamy sweetness to wrap up a meal!

Ooooh Yes

Wanna know the best part?

YOU can enjoy this chocolate, too!

When the wonderful people at Guylian contacted me to see if I would be interested in receiving a sample of this chocolate, I jumped at the chance. I’ve been enjoying Guylian chocolate for years and love the seashell-shape of the chocolate and the rich, creamy praline truffle center of each chocolate.

Now it’s your turn! Woo!

One PBF reader will receive a gift basket of this chocolate.

Chocolate For YOU!

In the basket:

  • Guylian Originals Seashells, 4.4 oz.
  • Guylian Praline Original Temptations, 4.4 oz.

To enter this giveaway, simply comment telling me about your FAVORITE way to enjoy chocolate… in cookies, cakes, brownies, on top of ice cream… let your chocolate dreams run wild! 🙂

I will randomly select a winner and announce the winner tomorrow afternoon.

Good luck!

    Hi I’m a new reader, for about a month.. i love you blog!

    I always want to comment, but I never have anything good to say… so this is a good way to start!

    I love chocolate in brownies, or hot fudge on ice cream…. or maybe hot fudge on ice cream with brownie!

    I also love it with peanut butter 🙂

    I enjoy chocolate in my Grandmothers signature cake: vanilla cake with chocolate pudding in between the layers and whipped cream as the icing!! Its simple, but the chocolate totally adds that touch of perfection!

    most favorite ways to enjoy chocolate are definitely fudge, dark chocolate chip cookies, and my mom’s homemade brownies with white chocolate chips on top =)

    Hands down with a winner of chocolate mixed with peanut butter. I don’t think this combination could ever fail. Ever. I must say though that the girl scout cookie, Tagalongs, truly have my heart. Tis the season!

    At this point in my life, I think I could drizzle chocolate on a plate of broccoli and be totally content…

    Why oh why did the chocolate bug bite me at 24?!?! 😀

    I love chocolate in quite a number of ways, but there is one way in particular that trumps all others. Whether it’s chocolate and PB cup ice cream, Reeses, or PB on a chocolate vitatop, my favorite way to enjoy chocolate is with peanut butter.

    I really love chocolate when it is combined with peanut butter – I call myself the world’s biggest Reese’s fan! Something about that combination makes me (and the chocolate concoction) melt!

    Calorie free dark chocolate peanut butter. That would be my wildest dream. If were talking real life, Reeses.

    Also, I share your obsessive cereal can-never-have-enough issue. What gives!

    Chocolate in EVERY form is always a good idea… but I’m a total sucker for “molten chocolate” anything! Warm and fudgy is the best!

    There isn’t a way that I don’t love chocolate. If I had to pick one way it would have to be hot out of the oven brownies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream….yummy.

    I LOVE when my mom makes homemade hot fudge! Needless to say it could be delicious alone but it’s even better drizzled on top of peanut butter cup ice cream or included in a peanut butter banana milkshake 🙂
