One of my absolute favorite bloggers, and one of the funniest, dedicated a hilarious post to the contest. How could I not make her a winner?
And before I announce the other lucky winners, an important chocolate fact. Did you ever get that white looking stuff on a chocolate bar?
And here is the answer to that age old question, "What is this white crap on my candy bar?"
The whitish discoloration is called "fat bloom," which occurs when cocoa butter separates from the crystallized chocolate mixture and comes to the surface, says Dr. Barbara Struempler, an Extension nutritionist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.
It is perfectly safe and has no taste. According to the Ghiradelli site it happens when chocolate, during shipping or otherwise, is exposed to low temperatures.
That's why I'm having the contest now. In the summer it melts, and in winter it gets that white stuff. Oy.
Now on to the other 2 winners.
Janna--because I am a sucker for a list of 10 things. Yeah, I don't get out much.
Shadow--because she is helping promote my blog so uniquely. I know she lives up by the North Pole, and chocolate is a form of currency up there, so I am sure she will enjoy it.
Today, Monday, is the last day, so I'll have a few extra winners to spread the chocolate love.
That didn't sound right.
In order to capture the crown Jewel of Blogger Risk, Greenland, I have now introduced my official blog's 100% True (you can look it up)

Okay, major brown-nose, I went and voted for your blog. I hope you win! Oh, if I do find any bloggers from Greenland, I'll be sure and pass their address along to you.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. I stayed out of this contest, however.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because The Hawg just doesn't much care for chocolate.
Odd, huh?
I blogged about you!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats winners!
I did a post about chocolate, actually chocolate and drugs because they go good together.

Ha! June 21 is my father's birthday. He must have been from Greenland in a past life.
ReplyDeleteOoOoOoOoOo I won chocolate? Sweet! Normally I don't go for that sort of thing, but I can think of at least one week out of the month it will certainly go to very good use. :-P
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the other winners... I just read Momjeansblogger's post and now want to run right out and get or learn how to make a chocolate bust!

@ Jenn: She will be stylin', as usual.
Thanks Joe, I always wondered what that white stuff was. I think I may have even thrown a few candy bars away before :(

ReplyDeleteOooh! Oooh! I won! I won!
ReplyDeleteSo do you want my address, or do we have enough of a psychic connection that you can already read my mind?
Here, let's test it....
What number am I thinking of right now?
Drat! No, you got the number wrong. I was thinking of 47,819.
ReplyDeleteOk, well, with that in mind, here's my address.
@ Janna: I was thinking 47,820, and using Price of Right rules as established by Bob Barker, that means I missed by going over. :(
