"What I've Done for Chocolate" Daily Olive Valentine's Contest

Most of us have an humorous, impressive, or embarrassing story about the lengths we've gone to in order to get a chocolate fix.  What's the most extraordinary thing you've done? Describe it in 200 words or less and send it to kyeann(at)dailyolive(dot)com (along with your delivery address) by 11:59 PST February 9.  The winner will receive an 8 oz. Richard Donnelly assortment just in time for Valentine's Day and your confession will be posted (anonymously if you prefer!) for Daily Olive readers.

We are very pleased to offer Richard Donnelly Chocolates.  Often premium chocolate is associated with elaborate packaging or sophisticated branding rather than quality.  Richard Donnelly focuses primarily on the highest caliber ingredients and on craft at his low-key Santa Cruz, CA studio.  Many of us have become accustomed to products (even quite expensive ones) that sit on shelves for months - so much so that we don't know how fresh, fine chocolate should taste.  Donnelly urges consumption of his preservative-free truffles, caramels and chocolates within one week!

Stay tuned as we fill you in on Donnelly Chocolates' offerings between now and Valentine's Day. And start writing!

Just in time for the holidays, Daily Olive, in partnership with Jessica's Biscuit ecookbooks.com, has launched a new online cookbook store. You'll find bestsellers like "Boulevard," the companion to chef Nancy Oaks' popular San Francisco eatery, and "Everyday Italian," by Food Network's Giada De Laurentiis -- for up to 30% to 40% off cover price. It makes holiday shopping for your favorite foodie even easier (especially if that foodie is you).
