Yes, I often talk to you about chocolate on the blog. No, it’s not because I have the cruel goal of forcing you to eat lots of chocolate and consequently gain weight. It’s just because I love chocolate! There, it’s been said!

Let those who don’t like this type of treat move along; I can’t help it if some people don’t experience the delights of this ancient product.

Anyway, for the rest of you, all that’s left is to read this gourmet article and try your luck to win a nice chocolatey prize at the end of the post…

I’ve already told you about quite a few chocolate brands on the blog, but I think Côte d’Or is a big first. The brand is releasing a new range of bars with a thicker format and ultra-gourmet ingredients called “BRUT”.

The new feature: 2 individually wrapped bars in each pack, with a new, practical packaging that preserves the chocolate’s flavor.

The range:

• Dark Chocolate with roasted almonds and Orange

• Dark Chocolate with caramelized Pecan nuts and Cranberries

• Milk Chocolate with double nuts, roasted hazelnuts, and caramelized almonds

price:

about €3.29 for a pack of 2 90g bars

The good deal: A Côte d’Or tour will visit a total of 12 shopping centers in France from January 20th to February 27th, 2016 to offer chocolate fans a moment of intense gourmet pleasure with discount coupons, free tastings, and giveaways.

To follow the tour and see the full schedule, don’t hesitate to visit the Côte d’Or Facebook page.

Otherwise, for those interested, I got the answer regarding the choice of the shemagh in the prize pack; it is explained by its natural material, which recalls the primary characteristic of the range: the RAW material. And there you go…
