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?

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.
