We are giving away one gift bag each weekday through December 21.
Happy Holidays from The Kitchn! | Previous Days' Gift Bags
Gift: Two Ghirardelli Chocolate Gift Baskets
Shop: Chocolate bars available from Ghirardelli for $3.50 apiece
Today we are giving away two Ghirardelli chocolate gift baskets. Each one will include a custom assortment of Ghirardelli chocolates, including their new Intense Dark line. These are equally good for baking and eating. Click for more information and details on how to enter our giveaway!
It's a motherlode of chocolate in all shapes, flavors, and sizes! We're especially interested in Ghirardelli's new line of Intense Dark chocolates, which come in a range of cacao percentages. They are extra, delicately thin, allowing the chocolate to melt slowly in your mouth. The flavors include Twilight Delight, Espresso Escape and Mint Bliss.
If dark chocolate isn't so much your thing, they also are including a wide range of their Prestige bars and Signature Squares with their mint, raspberry, milk, and caramel flavors.
To enter the giveaway, please tell us your favorite kind of chocolate - milk, dark, extra-dark - or if it includes a flavor tell us that too. Are you a peppermint-chocolate sort of person? Or do you love gooey caramel with your cacao?
Type your comment in the comment section below by 8:59pm PT/11:59 EST THURSDAY December 20. The two lucky winners will be selected at random.
