Ghiradelli Chocolate: GIVEAWAY!

I received an email about a month ago from Katelin, a representative of Ghiradelli chocolate.  She offerred me the opportunity to try their new Luxe Milk line of chocolates.  My family used to joke that my first word was chocolate because I loved it so much - so this was, without a doubt, an offer I couldn't refuse!

My college roommates Kiley and Diana and I had planned a night to make dinner and catch up....and I decided that these chocolates would provide the perfect dessert for us.  

Since we were roommates in college for 3+ years, I knew these two ladies would make the best taste-test crowd.  From our experiences in our little apartment I know that the 3 of us are probably the best prepared to compare chocolates, since we have been known to eat a LOT of the stuff.

To our dinner I brought the almond, milk and hazelnut varieties.  I like that Ghiradelli has the option of buying a large bar, or buying bags with individually wrapped bites.  This makes it easier to portion control - or, if you're me, to treat yourself with a piece of chocolate in your lunch bag.

I'm usually more of a dark chocolate fan, but I was really impressed with how rich and deep the flavor of this milk chocolate was.  We all agreed that the taste of the chocolate in all three varieties was rich and creamy.

We unanimously voted the almond flavor the best of the bunch.  Who can resist a rich milk chocolate studded with crunchy almonds?  We could not, we ate most of these.  The hazelnut was good, albeit a bit disappointing - we were hoping for a ferrer-roche type experience.  These nuts just tasted off, not rich or roasted enough.  Maybe we got a bad bag?

The milk was our least favorite - but only because it was plain.  We like nuts in our chocolate.  So if you like a plain milk chocolate, this might be the one for you.  It reminded us seriously of cadbury milk chocolate, but meltier. YUM.  

Thank you Katelin and Ghiradelli! We had a blast taste-testing these chocolates
