Mother’s Day is less than two weeks away, on May 10th, and what better way to let mom know how much she means to you than with a box of delicious chocolate?

As always, See’s Candies has a nice selection of Mother’s Day gifts that any mom would be happy to receive!
Packaged in pretty pastel boxes or a standard classic white box, I can tell you there are few other things I’d rather get from my kids Sunday morning (of course, handmade cards are on that short list!).

Thanks to everyone who participated in the giveaway for the Easter M&M’s! I’ve chosen two winners at random:

Congratulations to Anita T, who says “I never met an M&M I didn’t like,” and to Debbie, who commented “I’m a dark chocolate fan & was thrilled when M&M’s started making the dark variety. I’m the only one in the house that likes the dark chocolate ones so I don’t have to hide the bag to make sure I get a few!”
Emails have been sent to both winners, who have 24 hours to reply before a new winner is chosen.

Congrats to the winners of the Ferrero Valentine Heart Giveaway!

Dianne F’s most romantic moment:
A “Romantic Moment” is – as is beauty – in the eye of the beholder. Mine was the minute I met my husband – I hit him with a grape while he was sleeping on the beach . (I was actually aiming at someone else for a friend.) He looked up, smiled and went right back to sleep. Apparently, he liked what he saw, because he “called me”. That was 49 years ago.
Carla Spence’s most romantic moment:
Several romantic memories come to mind. One in particular was the …read more

You all know how devoted I am to See’s Candies. My mom worked there, my step-mom worked there and I’ve worked there — they’ve been part of my life for 25 years (and much longer for my mom — here’s me holding a See’s box she received in the ’60s!) and with Valentine’s Day coming up their Valentine’s Day Gifts are the very first treat on my wishlist!
I always look forward to Valentine’s Day, especially with kids of my own who will be getting the usual goodie boxes just like my moms gave us! I also like to put …read more

The balls are hand-rolled fresh and then hand-dipped in chocolate from a recipe passed down from grandma. The balls come with six to a bag tied with a pretty ribbon.
Two lucky winners will win one bag each!
