Order Raw Chocolate Caramel Pecan Turtles… and a Giveaway!
It's no secret that I love chocolate. I love eating it, dreaming up new recipes, making it, and sharing it. This summer I sold my raw chocolates and desserts at the local farmers market. It was so much fun that I'm continuing the sweet goodness by selling a few of my most popular items throughout the Christmas holidays. I've decided to make some of these goodies available to anyone in North America during the holiday season.
Cashews in cinnamon caramel, wrapped in rich dark chocolate
Pecans and caramel wrapped in rich dark chocolate
Get your turtles in red and green packages for Christmas, or my regular colors, pink and purple. Choose from white or gold boxes with ribbons or my bright pink boxes for your truffles.
To place an order, contact me via email for full details: heather @ sweetlyraw.com.
To kick things off, I thought it would be fun to do a chocolate giveaway. I've had a few giveaways before and they're always so much fun (choccie turtles in the easter egg box was pretty cute). I love reading people's answers.
The Giveaway:
1 pink box of truffles in assorted flavors and 6 caramel pecan turtles.
To enter:
Answer the question below and leave your email address. The cut off is midnight on Friday November 5. A random number generator will select the winner and then I will contact the winner, get your address and send your goodies! The winner will have 24 hours to reply to me or I will use the generator to choose another winner.
What is your favorite flavor with chocolate?
For me it's really hard to choose because it all depends what I'm eating in the moment, lol. My top are probably caramel, banana, coconut, and mint (I can't resist a chocolate covered banana or a chocolate mint truffle!).

I am crazy for chipotle and chocolate. But for the holidays, I like chocolate with mint, hazelnut, or orange.
Caramel and nut for sure!
Caramel & Pecan. I know Pecan isn't necessarily a flavor...but I rarely eat chocolate without pecans or walnuts :) They just go together! Mint is a close second.<br /><br />Best ~ Kaye<br />kayebillie_stain929@hotmail.com

It's been so much fun reading everyone's comments - have definitely given me some ideas. my current favorite chocolate pairing is chocolate with flaky sea salt. I also love chocolate with mint, almonds and ginger.<br /><br />potbelliedpiggie (at) gmail (dot) com
Those chocolates look GORGEOUS! And I love your packaging. My favorite flavor with chocolate is chocolate. What? You mean there's something else besides chocolate? Well, OK, if pressed, I'd say orange with chocolate is my favorite :).
Your pictures have me drooling! I love just plain chocolate, the darker the better!<br /><br />randerae@gmail.com
Mint is always one of my faves, along with hazelnuts or caramel, but cayenne and cinnamon together is also up there or really really love chocolates with medicinal mushrooms and when it comes to fruit cherries or blueberries.<br /><br />beautifulxedge @ gmail.com
Chocolate with mint is refreshing and chocolate with ginger is spicy and warming! mmmmmmmm my favourite<br /><br />kt_mer@hotmail.com
My favorite flavor is semisweet coconut truffles:) So yummy! My email is snyder.rachel10@gmail.com
I looooove coconut chocolates and orange chocolates. Hard to choose though, I'll eat any chocolate!
My favorite is chocolate-strawberry. I just cannot get enough of the smooth strawberry cream in choco bonbons. Luv them!<br />Email: paleoliscious@yahoo.com
Ooooh, hard choice, but I would say my absolute favorite is cherry and chocolate! Although I would also take peanut butter, caramel, and mint as well! Thanks! <br /><br />luv2have at gmail dot com
If I had to pick one, I would say coffee, but peanut butter, caramel, and mint would follow.<br /><br />rrnancyr@optonline.net
Doesn't everything go with chocolate!?! But I would have to say my favs are peanut butter and salted caramel! jllangwell@gmail.com
My favorite flavor is mint.<br />malilies@gmail.com
Hmmm...I love chocolate with everything! It's impossible to choose a favorite. Chocolate and nuts go together very well in my opinion.
yum! i love pecan caramel!<br />marielxox16 at aim dot com
This is tough. I really love mint with chocolate. But caramel, orange, and coconut are good too.<br /><br />Thanks for the chance to win your chocolates.
Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my! Choose, go ahead, um... Raspberry. No -Cherry, No- Mint! NO. Caramel, ooh caramel? I am so confused.<br />laurel vanblarcum at sbc global dot net
It's hard to pick one favorite to go with chocolate, but I definitely love coffee, mint, caramel and peanut butter (the order depends on the day!)
so hard to choose - lately I've been loving sea salt and caramalized cacao nibs! spicy is always good too. email katmotl@yahoo.com
Hard to choose because I love chocolate. Probably would be cinnamon with dark chocolate. Followed by mind and chocolate. Of course sea salt is nice with chocolate.... yeah - okay - I like them ALL! :) <br />kimbermata@hotmail.com
Whoops - that was supposed to be MINT and chocolate - I haven't had "mind" and chocolate together yet! LOL!!
Sweet post. I am on chocolate sabbatical until the Christmas Holiday. I love, love chocolate and need to keep my distance for a while. <br /><br />I love dark chocolate on fresh bing cherries. Yum!
Yum! I may have to keep them in mind as I've been dying to try your chocolates. I really adore mint chocolate during the holidays. I just made a batch of raw chocolate that taste like a better dark version of meltaways. It would have been perfect with some mint. I also am a sucker with chocolate that has a touch of salt, especially with almonds or goji berries.
My absolute favorite is chocolate and hazelnut...or chocolate and lavender--but one has to be careful when adding the lavendar. Too much and it tastes like soap!
Definitely with COCONUTS! Next would be hazelnuts or cherries! YUM!<br />snhks@yahoo.com
Peanut butter and chocolate!!!!!
devilredmusic@yahoo.com<br /><br />I love the taste of peanut or almond butter and chocolate! Mint is also a favorite of mine. Caramel is way up there, too, but hardly found as I am a vegan. :/
I love chocolate and orange (chocolate and sea salt is a close second)! <br /><br />Thanks!<br />lesliedoll at hotmail dot com
i love chocolate with mac nuts or almonds, cherry is a favorite fruit combo and i love mint also!!!<br />kristalsgems@yahoo.com
As a rule I can't resist a gooey/liquidy centre of any flavour especially when it's a suprise. However as it's bonfire night (guy fawkes night) on fifth of november I'm craving bonfire toffee flavour reminisent of my childhood so really molasses, treacley butterscotch taste.<br /><br />twigdudette at hotmail dot com
I love caramel and coconut and peanut butter and also bananas! :) <br /><br />rachhope1995@gmail.com
My favorite is cayenne pepper<br />mihaelabostan@yahoo.com
favorite is definitely chocolate/peanut butter. but a close second is chocolate/cinnamon. your truffles and turtles look amazing!<br /><br />gratefulyogini at gmail dot com
What a beautiful giveaway Heather! Well, if I had to choose my favourite chocolate flavour, it would have to include lucuma and vanilla bean :) barefoot_and_frolicking@hotmail.com

dehydrated mango and goji berries or peanuts and cherries for sure!<br /><br />If only you'd ship to Australia!
OOOoooh...this is a great contest. But the question...now that is a hard one. I can't decide: coconut, caramel, mint, peanut, hazelnut...really, you just can't go wrong with chocolate (unless you pair it with salmon or anchovies or something equally gross). : )<br /><br />tabs_8302 at hotmail

I love your blog! Hm... and my favorite flavor of chocolate would have to be mint. When i was little, i was hooked on Andes candies, thin mint cookies and mint chip ice cream. So much that when i got my tonsels out, for two weeks, every meal & snack & food i ate was mint chip ice cream.. thank god i was a growing kid.
My weakness is chocolate and peanut butter, my favorite. Chocolate covered cherries is a close second. But, I also like a rich coffee flavored chocolate, or mint, or orange... :)<br /><br /><br />pinkstarfish98@yahoo.ca

Heather,<br />Caramel, ginger and cacao nibs.<br /><br />mlfinnel@gmail.com
Chocolate and mint are a divine duo. Definitely an all time fave.<br /><br />soul_song106@hotmail.com
those look so good! I love anything nutty: peanut, hazelnut, cashew, coconut (or does that last one doesn't count as nutty?) anyways: yum!
It might sound gross, but Vogue's Black Pearl Bar is so good. Ginger + Wasabi + Black Sesame Seeds + 55% dark chocolate = Amazing!
my favorite flavor with chocolate has got to be MINT! i love mint with chocolate, it's so amazing. lately, i have also been enjoying pumpkin and chocolate together. <br /><br />merrymeli@gmail.com
