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!

    What a great question. I enjoy eating chocolate in praline form, and love eating it when I’m reviewing it for my blog.

    My all time favorite way to have chocolate is topping my gigantic tub of self serve frozen yogurt with oreos, m&m’s, and chocolate chip cookie dough!

      Actually I take that back. Dark chocolate with sea salt may be the best thing ever. I don’t know, I can’t decide. I just love chocolate! 😀

    I love sweet chocolate desserts, but I also LOVE mole (that e should have an accent) sauce. It’s the cocoa with savory spices. I love it over chicken. So delicious!

    Chocolate…I love chocolate in pastries, pretzels dipped in chocolate (both white & milk), turtles (a speciality a family friend makes), in & on ice cream, chocolate milk, and of course in cookies.

    People who don’t like some form of chocolate, are liars!!

    Hmmm, I love dark chocolate after a meal- just a little Dove Dark promise (obviously reading and savoring the message in my heart for the day) is all I need to complete my meal! Not to mention, who doesn’t like having a personal message to live by or do that day?!

    I looooooooooooove chocolate in any form (or that may just be my raging pms speaking). My preferred way to eat it would have to be a gorgeous guy feeding it to me while I watch chick flicks. A girl can dream

    I would definitely have to say that I loooove semi-sweet or dark chocolate disks for baking (like the ones from Trader Joes!) and I just pop ’em in my mouth while I study. FABulous!! I like ’em plain and simple.

    I absolutely adore chocolate any which way! I love very dark chocolate (75% cacao and above), and recently became addicted to sea salt dark chocolate. Yum!

    I haven’t been able to eat chocolate for years because it’s been a fear food, honestly Guylian has always been my favourite and now I’m learning to enjoy it again in small doses without guilt! But I definitely can’t wait for the day that I can eat it my favourite way again…tonnes of dark cocolate chips in and on top of pancakes with some butta…Mmmmmm!

    Oh I ADORE chocolate but it wasn’t until my 20’s that I actually started to really like it. Now I think I just appreciate it more. My favorite way to enjoy chocolate is in the warm melted fondue form. Nothing like dipping a fresh juicy strawberry into a warm pot of decadent dark chocolate.
