Dear Reader,
In this past Tuesday's column I wrote:
"Every year I buy them, but not until the sign says, 'Buy-one-get-one-free.' My intention is to give them all away, but as I'm putting them into my shopping cart, I know better. My husband and I will devour at least one box. Every year it's the same routine and last evening we did the deed. (I have to take the blame this time.)"
I was referring to the box of chocolate caramels and creams my husband and I devour every year, a couple weeks before Christmas. We only eat one box, but now thanks to readers like Linda, Sandi and Sharon, who emailed wanting to know the brand of our annual buy-one-get-one free chocolates, my husband and I just did the "deed" again.
"Suzanne, now that you have us all drooling and wanting our own 'buy one get one free' traditional chocolate, where are you finding this great deal?? ;)"-- Sandi
"Hi Suzanne, now, I simply must know the name of those chocolates! I love caramel and chews, and right now, at 9:18 a.m. my mouth is watering for one, or two, or..." --Sharon Ruthven
"Dear Suzanne, What? NO CHOCOLATE GIVE-AWAY?!!!! Just kidding. :-)"--Linda Esler/Principal Librarian/Bloomfield Public Library
I aim to give outstanding service to readers, I couldn't remember the brand name of the chocolates, I knew I'd recognize the box at Walgreens if I saw it, but that would've meant driving over to Walgreens, and it's cold outside--even here in Florida.
So what's a girl to do? Readers made me do it--I opened another one of the boxes of chocolates I'd wrapped to give away. And of course, now that the box is open...
Boy, those "Dark Chocolate Russell Stover Caramels and Creams" are good.
Linda had a great idea. Today I'm giving away some boxes of Russell Stover chocolates. Send an email, with your mailing address and if your name is drawn I'll pop those chocolates in the mail to you--so hopefully they'll arrive by Christmas.
Send your email to: [email protected] Put CHOCOLATE GIVEAWAY on the subject line, please.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
Merry, Merry,
Suzanne Beecher
