It’s a Chocoholic Giveaway!

Love Shmove.

Everyone knows the real reason to celebrate Valentine’s Day: it’s a great excuse to unapologetically consume exorbitant amounts of chocolate. So whether or not you buy into the manufactured holiday, donโ€™t miss out on the chance to stuff your face with chocolate treats.

Most likely, you can already think of about a million ways to celebrate. Or ten million, if youโ€™re as in love with chocolate as I am.

(But I donโ€™t think thatโ€™s possible!!)

v day 10

Here are some ideas: Healthyย Chocolate Recipes.

The above recipes are healthy ideas to treat yourself, so you can be good to your heart while still treating your tastebuds. Most of them are also pretty easy and quick to make! However, just in case you feel like doing absolutely no work today, I still gotcha coveredโ€ฆ

sweet riot chocolate

Every day, I get quite a few email offers for product reviews, and I have to turn most of them down. But when the Sweet Riot company offered to send samples of their new chocolate bars, I certainly couldnโ€™t turn those down!

First and foremost, their chocolate is awesome because itโ€™s fair-trade. Itโ€™s also vegan and gluten-free. I really enjoyed the 85% barsโ€”the taste reminds me somewhat of Magic Shell. (My roommie gobbled up all of the little 70% squares. She appreciated the fact that theyโ€™re only 20 calories per square.)

sweet riot chocolate bars

Itโ€™s been awhile since my last giveaway, so how about a quick chocolate giveaway in honor of Valentineโ€™s Day Chocolate Appreciation Day? (Every day should be Chocolate Appreciation Day.)

This giveaway is now closed.

Congratulations to Madi.

I’ve emailed you!

    This chocolate looks AMAZING!!! I love a good quality dark chocolate bar, there’s truly nothing like it in the world. Chocolate Appreciation Day is more like it…I spent all last night making chocolate-covered strawberries for my friends and family. One of my friends texted me and said “don’t eat all the strawberries before you have a chance to give them to anyone!” And I said “oh, that’s not a problem…the real problem is this big bowl of melted chocolate!!!” ๐Ÿ˜€

    I’m a big fan of chocolate, especially trying new things/recipes with chocolate. I bought a bar in Switzerland a few years ago that was 97%. Yes, it was as insane as it sounds. Being taught the proper way to each chocolate that rich was fun. I think it took a year to fully eat that bar, as one bite at a time was enough.

    Hi Katie,
    So your German chocolate balls morphed into another concoction yesterday…
    My good friend wanted to make her own chocolate covered strawberries for V-day. She thought up the idea to make Smores Strawberries (not sure if there is a recipe like this online but as far as I know she came up with these on her own). She stuffed strawberries with a marshmallow/graham cracker mixture and then covered them in dark chocolate. Yum! Picture here: https://www.facebook.com/#!/photo.php?fbid=3374498966257&set=a.1552211210202.2071451.1382798185&type=1&theater&notif_t=photo_comment_tagged

    ANYWAYS, she likes to multi-cook/bake when in the kitchen. I saw her put walnuts and dates in her food processor (assuming she was making your German balls because she is an avid follower as well) so I asked her what she was making and to my surprise she said, “I dunno.” Then I said. you could make a similar version of Katie’s GCCBs if you add a little salt and vanilla with some cocoa powder (I forgot to say “coconut” too but read on…)! She ran to her pantry, grabbed all of that and blended it all. Also to my surprise, she wasn’t too thrilled with the taste ( I think she doesnt like dates) but I was in heaven and had stop myself from eating it all. My dear friend saw how much I enjoyed these she she rolled and surprised me with bliss… she added coconut flakes on her own without knowing the recipe calls for coconut and then dipped them in the melted chocolate and then rolled them in coconut.. all for me for Valentine’s day! They are aWeSoMe! and thank you for the recipe!

    One more thing, I saw the endangered spices chocolate bar on here one day and though how I would like to try it. Then I just happened to find a few bars at our local Sprouts (similar to WholeFoods)! I was super excited!

    Ok, enough for now.

    I hope you are having a wonder Love day! Remember, friends and family count as Valentines too!
    Love you,
    D

    Hi Katie, I made your Chocolate Bar Pie for my beloved this Valentine’s Day. I came across this recipe and wanted to pass it along to you.

    Serves 4
    http://shine.yahoo.com/shine-food/genius-recipe-two-ingredient-chocolate-mousse-173200947.html
    8 ounces chocolate (we used 70% bittersweet – choose a high quality chocolate you love)
    3/4 cup (6 ounces) water
    ice cubes
    freshly whipped cream for topping (optional)

    1. Simply pour water into a saucepan. Then, over medium heat, whisk in the chocolate. The result is a homogenous sauce.

    2. Pour the chocolate mixture into a bowl set over an ice bath, then whisk the chocolate sauce, either manually with a whisk or with an electric mixer (if using an electric mixer, watch closely — it will thicken faster). It will thicken and strands of chocolate will form inside the loops of the whisk. Pour or spoon immediately into ramekins, small bowls or jars and let set.

    3. Note: Three things can go wrong. Here’s how to fix them. If your chocolate doesn’t contain enough fat, melt the mixture again, add some chocolate, and then whisk it again. If the mousse is not light enough, melt the mixture again, add some water, and whisk it once more. If you whisk it too much, so that it becomes grainy, this means that the foam has turned into an emulsion. In that case simply melt the mixture and whisk it again, adding nothing.

    4. Serve immediately, or refrigerate. Top with whipped cream if desired.
    Save and print this recipe (and see what others are saying about it) on FOOD52.

I would never give up my vegan lifestyle (I love animals and care about the environment way to much) but I do miss all the sweets I used to eat! Thank you for all the amazing recipes and making it so much easier for me to live this healthy and kind lifestyle. Happy Valentine’s Day!

    I actually have an 85% sweet riot bar sitting in my pantry at this very moment! Haha. A souvenir from my last trip to Whole Foods (the closest one to me is 2.5 hours away) ๐Ÿ™ I’d love to have more ๐Ÿ˜€

    Hi Katie!
    I’ve been meaning to tell you thanks you for creating such wonderful recipes! Because of you I finally succeeded in eating only vegan foods. Every time I tried in the past I was just too bored with the foods/recipes I could find. I also want to tell you that I truly enjoy reading your blog! When I subscribed to other recipe blogs in the past I basically just looked at the recipes. Thanks again!

    I’ve never heard of Sweet Riot but after mentioning they’re only 20 calories per square, even a guy can’t resist.

    I am vegan and I live in an area that is definitely not vegan-friendly; we only got our first Trader Joe’s three months ago (it has been amazing) and searching for vegan chocolate is even more difficult! Whether I get those bars or not, I think I will check the company out as I am always looking for new vegan options where I live!

    Aaaahhh!!! Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!!! Yuuum! It is such a shame that we do not have this brand in my country, because it sounds sooo good – vegan, gf and fair-trade. Oh I wish I could taste them at least once (dreaming) :))

    Thank you, Kate, for showing such a tastiness, but my taste buds are now quite mad on me, because I do not have any chocolate nor cacao in my dorm, oh no! :((

    Anyways, happy Chocolate Appreciation Day! :))

    Chocolate. They say men think about sex every 3 minutes, for me it’s chocolate. I put it in my morning green smoothies, have some dark chocolate after lunch and end my day with a few dark squares and a glass (or 2) of red wine. I don’t remember the last day of my life that I did not consume any chocolate! I would LOVE to win some and taste these babies!

Nutrition is a huge part of my life and you make recipes that I can share with my husband that he can love and have no idea the secret goodness I am giving him ( he couldn’t believe the beans I sneak into desserts!). You are so appreciated and I hope I can encourage you in your life! With that sad, college students+eating healthy+a passionate love for desserts=a deep and great love for free gifts and giveaways! SO GREAT.

    Ooh I’d love to enter – those bars look yum! I love 85% cocoa chocolate, that’s always what I eat – and when you said Magic Shell it was like magic to my ears. I once heard it’s easy to make a ‘vegan’ Magic Shell as it is coconut oil that hardens as soon as it hits the ice cream – is that true (maybe it was you that I read that from haha!)? If so I have got to get on that because Magic Shell is that special something from my childhood that I really miss now I am mostly sugar-free!

    I recently discovered your awesome blog and have shared it with all my momma friends. I’m not vegan but have adopted non-processed healthy food habits to be a good example to my 18 month old daughter and I really appreciate these ideas so we can truly enjoy our food. She LOVED the chocolate mousse I fed her before bed tonight and I felt great knowing she was getting a healthy dose of protein and loving her treat with mommy. Keep up the great work spreading food joy (and our mutual LOVE for chocolate)!!

    I tasted Sweet Riot for the first time a few months ago. WOW.
    I enjoy your recipes in many ways, but a recent favorite is- I make a batch of fudge babies but do not form the balls. I keep the “batter” or fudge baby crumbs, as I refer to them, in a glass jar. I find I have better self control if they’re not all rolled up and cutie on a platter for me. Well, I took a generous spoonful of fudge baby crumbs and placed it on a serving of vanilla ice cream. WAY better than any fudge topping I’ve ever had. I’m hooked!

    Thank you for your blog. I’m really enjoying it.
