Giveaway: Win a summer's worth of chocolate and candy



As a kid, Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory was one of my favorite movies. When WONKA chocolate first came out, it became a comfort food for me. So it did not suck when the company sent over some of its new WONKA Exceptionals chocolate bars and candies to try. They're currently doing a Golden Ticket sweepstakes. There are ten of those babies in the chocolates, each granting the holder a trip around the world with three friends (worth up to $40,000). I didn't find the ticket in any of my chocolates but if I do, perhaps one of you can babysit the kids? There are also purple tickets inside (how cool would it be if Max found a purple one!) with ticket-type prizes such as $500 airline vouchers, $25 Ticketmaster gift cards and the like.

The nice WONKA people are offering up two packages of chocolate and candies, each worth $54. Each package contains 5 WONKA Exceptionals Scrumdiddlyumptious Chocolate Bars, 5 WONKA Exceptionals Waterfall Chocolate Bars, 5 WONKA Exceptionals Domed Dark Chocolate Bars, 1 WONKA Exceptionals Grapefruit Fruit Jellies, 1 WONKA Exceptionals Red Apple Fruit Jellies, 1 WONKA Exceptionals Goji Berry Fruit Jellies, 1 WONKA Exceptionals Clementine Orange Fruit Marvels, 1 WONKA Exceptionals Pomegranate Fruit Marvels and 1 WONKA Exceptionals White Grape Fruit Marvels.


Getting a little hungry?

  15. Your giveaway is xenophobic. Why only to North American's residents? (I know, the contest is probably only open to them. Which is silly because it's a trip arond the world so theoretically, you should be able to start and end anywhere and still hit all the same spots!) Just because it's not summer here doesn't mean I can't eat a summer's worth of chocolate (and incidentally, since when is 2 oackages a summer's worth. Someone else clealy does not have the same kind of feelings about chocolate I have)

    I'm a milk chocolate girl. I like to think it helps build strong bones with all that extra calicium ;-)

    If you win, I expect a visit!

    Love all kinds of chocolate.And my husband prefers dark or bittersweet, but again eats it all.Went in an ice cream store Emack & Bolios and they also had hand dipped choclates including twinkies and rice krispie treats. Dark chocolate rice krispies for my husband, but a peach frappe for me. I love peach, and its extremely hard to find. Yummmm
