Yes, no need to rub your eyes in disbelief, that’s right, the final competition for 2008 is one involving a Chocolate giveaway which makes me feel rather Willy Wonka-ish. The lovely people at Cocolo chocolate, saw that I used their chocolate on my Chili Chocolate Brownies, and they wanted to share the love and spread the word via the irresistible way of Organic Fairtrade Swiss chocolate! In short Fairtrade Chocolate is where cocoa farmers are paid a fair amount for their cocoa beans which in turns means that they take more care with growing the beans. It’s also Organic, GMO and additive free and unrefined, organic, evaporated cane juice which is more nutrient dense than white sugar. So as close to guilt free chocolate as you can get.

And the best part is that there are THREE prizes to give away.

1st Prize: 8 Luscious 100g blocks in a each of their 8 flavours

2nd Prize: 4 Luscious 100g blocks in a variety of flavours

3rd Prize: 4 Luscious 100g blocks in a variety of flavours

See, there really is such a thing as Santa!

All you have to do is have a look at the Cocolo site and tell me what your favourite Cocolo chocolate flavour is. That’s it, no complicated 25 words or less. Add your entry via a comment to this story. You can enter once daily. Winners will be picked at random.

The competition is for Australian residents only and ends midnight AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time) on the 10th of January.

If you can’t wait for your fix, Cocolo is available in all good Health Food, Gourmet and Fairtrade stores. Cocolo is also available in selected Coles stores. To read more about Fairtrade, see the Cocolo site. You can also sign up to their mailing list where they will have frequent specials, competitions and giveaways.

Love and happy chocolate chomping,

All of your eager bakers and chocoholics, just a reminder that there’s one week to go! I know all of my American friends are probably in the midst of a Thanksgiving flurry but if you feel you might be a few days late, just email me and I’ll hold a space for you!

Aside from World Wide Fame you’ll have have the chance to win one of three prizes: the lovely people at Colefax Chocolates have given me 3 ballotine boxes of their best truffles worth $25 each to give away. That’s right, sent to anywhere in the world (well as long as your customs will permit!).

All you have to do is bake your best chocolate cake!
