The summer giveaway love continues on!

I’ve been wanting to give away some actual chocolate for the last while but summer and chocolate don’t usually mix too well. So I’m doing the next best thing even though these aren’t actually chocolate, just chocolate flavored! It still counts, right?

Now, I reviewed the new Chocolate Skittles several months ago and while I wasn’t terribly thrilled with them that doesn’t mean you can’t have a shot at them! And hey, they travel well!

To Enter:

To enter, tell me what the weirdest candy or chocolate you’ve ever tried has been. That’s it!

Entries that do not answer the question will not be qualified for the giveaway, so take a minute and give it some thought!

The Rules:

~ One 2oz bag of Chocolate Mix Skittles will be awarded to five commenters.

~ The giveaway will run until 11:59pm Friday, August 8th, and the winners will be chosen at random on Saturday, August 9th.

~ One entry per household. Duplicate/multiple entries from one person will all be discarded. And yes, I do check!

~ Limited to residents of the U.S. as shipping a package of Skittles pretty much anywhere else will cost more than the candy itself! Please also make sure you leave a valid email address so I can contact you if you win.

Below are the winners of the Twix Java! If I don’t hear from a winner within the next 24 hours or they live outside the U.S. (I did get a few of those!), I will re-draw tomorrow and update here.

I used a random number generator for the drawing so without further ado:

Below are the winners of the Reese’s Whipps! If I don’t hear from a winner within the next 24 hours or they live outside the U.S. (I did get a few of those!), I will redraw tomorrow and update here.

I wasn’t terribly crazy about the Reese’s Whipps but that doesn’t mean you can’t give them a try!

So once again, it’s time for a giveaway! I’ve got a box of these in the cupboard just itching to be mailed off to five lucky winners! This contest will run until Sunday, March 16th. Five winners will be drawn randomly from all entrants and will receive one 1.6oz bar. One entry per person please! Duplicate/multiple entries from one person will all be discarded. And yes, I can tell!

All you need to do is leave a comment here. That’s it! Make sure you leave a valid email address in the email line of the comment form (it will not be displayed, and make sure you don’t leave it in the comment itself) so I can get ahold of you if you win. Like past giveaways, this is only open to those in the U.S.

The response to the Cherry M&M’s and Twix Java giveaways have been absolutely amazing! Both have been submitted to online contest sites and I want to thank whomever did that!

Because the response has been so huge, I’m going to up the giveaway for the Cherry M&M’s to five bags given away instead of the initial three! So there will now be five winners for the M&M giveaway, the same as the Twix giveaway.

Again, thank you everyone who’s stopped by to leave a comment to participate! The chocolate giveaway contests haven’t ever gotten this response before, and I’m contemplating making this more of a regular thing!

You knew this one was coming, right? Not only am I giving away three five bags of the Wildly Cherry M&M’s, but I’ve also got a bunch of the Twix Java to give away too! I’m upping these to five packages to give away (meaning five people will each win one package) since more came in the box and there’s no way I’ll get through them all! This contest will go until Monday, March 3.

Once again, just leave a comment here, that’s it! Make sure you also include a valid email address so I can contact you if you win. This one’s also limited to the U.S. since shipping would be more than the cost of the bar if I send elsewhere.

So, the Wildly Cherry M&M’s that I bought last week were purchased in bulk, meaning I have a whole lot of Wildly Cherry M&M’s sitting around that I can’t possibly eat, and I’m not pawning that much candy onto the kids!

So here’s your chance to win a bag to try for yourself! I’ll be giving away one 1.5oz bag each to three FIVE people who leave a comment in this entry. That’s it! The winners will be chosen at random this Sunday, March 2.

I do need to limit the participation of the contest to folks in the U.S., though, as shipping a package of M&M’s pretty much anywhere else will cost more than the candy itself! Please also make sure you leave a valid email address so I can contact you if you win!

Don’t forget, this month’s Chocolate Bytes contest for the custom theobromine t-shirt ends tonight at 11:59pm PST! If you’ve been putting it off now’s the time to do it!

Remember, you must share an awful pick-up line in the comments and/or link to the contest from your own weblog to enter! Submissions that don’t do either won’t go into the hat to be drawn!

I was excited to find an email in my inbox this morning saying that Chocolate Bytes has been entered into the Death by Chocolate contest at Culinate.com, and prompted me to choose a chocolate-related entry to submit.

I chose to do the Hershey’s Moves to Mexico post from last summer since it’s still the most popular entry here, and has garnered a lot of impassioned responses and opinions, to say the least!

So, go forth and vote and I will love you forever and send you a lifetime supply of virtual chocolate! I’d offer the real stuff but we all know it would never make it to the post office.

It’s a Chocolate Bytes contest!

What you need to do:

~ In honor of Valentine’s Day, comment here with the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard (or heard of). The line doesn’t have to have been used on you - it can be something that happened to a friend or even just one you read about. That’s it! The contest will run until February 11, 11:59pm PST.

As usual, there are two ways to enter:

Get two submissions to win: Leave a comment here telling us the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard. Then link to this contest from your own site or weblog and include that URL with your submission and you now have two chances to win!

OR

Get one submission to win: Pick one or the other above - leave a comment telling us the worst pick-up line you’ve ever heard or just link to the contest from your own weblog (I need to be able to see it though, so make sure it’s not a locked or friends-only entry.)

What you could win:

My generous friends at YellowIbis.com have once again donated a theobromine t-shirt! They’ve even custom tweaked it for Valentine’s Day with the molecule surrounded by a heart. Perfect! This t-shirt is also available for sale, so if you don’t want to wait for the contest to end head over and pick one up for yourself!
