Chocolove recently announced their limited edition Holiday bar. Available exclusively at Whole Foods Markets "until they run out."
The bars are 55% dark chocolate and are inspired by mendiants, the French confections made with bread or chocolate and nuts and dried fruits. Tart cherries, sweet currants, hazelnuts, walnuts and pecans, orange zest and ginger make this a flavor-filled bar. It's a lot of chocolate for only a few bucks.
Chocolove has sent us a box of 12 bars, a Chocolove long sleeve (American Apparel) tee and a Chocolove baseball cap to give away. To win, send us your answer to the following question:
How did mendiant get its name?
To enter, follow the contact link at the bottom of the page, select "Chocolove giveaway" from the pull down menu and send us your answers. A winner will be selected at random from all CH readers who correctly answer the following question before midnight, Tuesday 21 November 2006.
