Want S’more pie? {S’mores Pie and an American Heritage Chocolate giveaway…*closed*}
**Give away closed! Congratulations Jeffery and Sarah S! Please check your email for instructions. Thanks for playing everybody!**
A chocolate giveaway just in time for Valentine’s Day! American Heritage Chocolate is a new line of chocolate products that uses only ingredients available during the 17th century. The chocolate has a dark chocolate bitterness and is redolent of new-world spices-cinnamon, orange, vanilla, and peppery annatto among others. It comes in sticks, blocks, and as a hot cocoa mix. You can sub it for baking chocolate or grate it for cocoa powder. Although we enjoyed it most straight up as a semi-sweet treat with coffee.
The folks at American Heritage Chocolate sent me a sampler of their products and asked if I was interested in providing some to my readers. Well, we were so impressed by the chocolates that I asked if I could give away two samplers. Crazy enough, they obliged! And since only about ten people and my mom read the blog (Hi, Mom!), you have a really great chance of winning some delicious chocolate. To win, comment below with your favorite chocolate dessert by 12:01 am Friday, February 8th. The random number generator will pick two winners to be contacted by email (so be sure you include your best working email so I can congratulate you and get your mailing address) on that day. If you want a second entry you can pin your favorite chaos in the kitchen recipe and leave a comment about it.
I used my chocolate block to make an amazing S’mores pie. With a graham cracker crust, chocolate pudding, and a broiled marshmallow topping this is a fantastic way to share your S’mores sans bonfire. While I used the sightly spicy American Heritage Chocolate in the pudding base, my chocolate pie recipe turns out perfectly with just cocoa powder as well.
