I’ve got a bunch of winners for last week’s giveaways — three winners for the Peanut Butter Dove chocolate and one for the $25 See’s Candies gift card!

The three winners of the Dove are:

~ Jess, whose favorite Dove is “The dark chocolate is alright, but the best thing Dove makes? Ice Cream.”
~ Carrie, whose favorite Dove is “I haven’t tried anything but the plain dark chocolate, but I loved it.”
~ Aimee, whose favorite Dove is “My favorite has been the dark chocolate bars, but this may just take over that top spot!”

The winner of the See’s gift card is:

~ Jessica, who says her favorite See’s is the rum nougat (Jessica, you’re definitely not the only one!!)

Congrats to all!

Emails have been sent to all winners as of 10:00am PDT. Winners have 24 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen.

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 anniversary of when my fiance and I first became a couple. We got Panera soup and brought it home and ate it while sitting on the floor by the fireplace. Then we cuddled and watched movies. It was fabulous!

AmandaK’s most romantic moment:
I was very sick with the flu and my boyfriend at the time was in a different state. He knew I loved flowers, so he ordered a red rose after we had hung up the phone. When I got the rose, on the card, he had said “I hope this makes you feel better.” I thought it was just very sweet of him!

Angela J’s most romantic moment:
It started our romantic, after complaining about yet another fishing trip my husband said, “Honey, there’s nothing better I would like than to have you beside me—” and before my heart even began to flutter he ended with, “–in a trout stream.”

Kasey Proctor’s most romantic moment:
Mine would have to be getting a note from my hubby to meet him at the boat dock where we keep out boat. When I got there he had some takeout from my favorite local restaurant, some wine, some chocolates and also a message from my boss saying that it’s see me late the next day. We took the boat up river, anchored for the night and had a wonderful evening alone with no interruptions.

Congrats to all!

Congratulations to the winners of the Chocolate Mix Skittles giveaway!

Entrants were asked to tell me what the weirdest candies or chocolate treats they’ve tried were:

Jennifer C. “We had chocolate covered Twinkies this summer while on our vacation. One bite was more than enough sugary sweetness for me.”

Heidi: “Chocolate covered ants! Not my favorite.”

Adrienne Gordon: “Some crazy shrimp flavored candy.”

Rachel: “I once tasted a garlic peanut butter cup at the Gilroy garlic festival. I love garlic and I love chocolate peanut butter cups, but this was pretty gross.”

Christina Barnes: “Definitely the Harry Potter Jelly Beans. Yuck. Earwax?!? Rotten eggs?!? I almost puked! It was disgusting and weird indeed!”

Below are the winners of the Razzberry M&M’s! 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.

Everyone was asked to tell me their favorite M&M’s, and I got some great responses!

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

Gail Zambie, who wrote: “Love the peanut M&Ms”

Barbara Ryan, who wrote: “Dark chocolate M&M’s, ….any time…..Yummy”

Patrick Rowley, who wrote: “Ahhh M&M’s sooo many to choose from and sooo little time to eat them all. Favorite one? Agh you would be so sadistic as to make me choose between the crunch of the candy shell with the rich milk choc or the delight at finding a peanut or almond and lets not forget the crisp M&M’s and all the wonderful varieties! Choose you say? I think Not! I shall enjoy them all and savor every moment!”

Michele P., who wrote: “I love the peanut butter ones!”

Jessica, whose wrote: “Peanut Butter!”

The winners have all been emailed so if you see your name above but haven’t heard from me, feel free to drop me a note to double check that it’s you (if you didn’t receive the aforementioned email).

Again, if winners do not respond within 24 hours a new name(s) will be drawn.

Thank you everyone who entered and please keep an eye out over the next several weeks for my next contest!

Below are the winners of the Snickers Charged! If I don’t hear from a winner within the next 24 hours or they live outside the U.S. I will re-draw tomorrow and update here.

As usual I have a bunch of Snickers Charged ready to be sent off to five lucky winners! If you remember, I really liked this candy bar and while I am loathe to part with them I’m hoping you’ll like them as much as I do!

This contest will run through Monday May 19, with a winner picked May 20th. Five winners will be drawn randomly from all entrants and will receive one Snickers each. 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.

Good luck!

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.
