Holiday Giveaway: Party Vegan + sweetriot Chocolate!

Try as I may, I'm having a hard time getting into the holiday spirit this year, so I thought maybe doing a holiday giveaway would help.

Nothing says holidays like chocolate and the nice folks at sweetriot sent me samples of their new riotBars! Make from fair trade chocolate, these delicious bars are made with actual cacao beans. I'll give one lucky winner three (count 'em: 3) of these amazing new riotBars, one each of pure 60% dark chocolate with crunch nibs, pure 70% dark chocolate, and pure 85% dark chocolate. And that's not all....

I'm also giving away a copy of my cookbook, Party Vegan. It's a must-have book for every occasion that calls for good vegan food, including holidays, as well as potlucks, casual get-togethers, and even kid's birthday parties. The recipes are also great for "anytime" meals and the book includes loads of tips from my days as a professional caterer.

For a chance to win Party Vegan + 3 riotBars, leave a comment at the end of this post. If you'd like to increase your odds of winning, here are 3 more chances to win:

1. Share a link to this Giveaway on Facebook.

2. Follow me on Twitter @globalvegan and tweet about this giveaway.

3. Subscribe to my blog.

(Be sure to leave a separate comment for each that you do, telling me which ones you did!)

Enter now, because the contest closes on Sunday, 12/18 at midnight. I'll announce the winner on Monday 12/19.

Guess what? I feel more in the holiday spirit already!

P.S. Try the Man-Sized Chocolate Chips from Party Vegan. Recipe posted here on Facebook. (While you're there, please "like" and "share.")

chocolate. What more can I say. Actually the cookbook excites me as much as the chocolate because I'm sure there will be chocolate mentioned in it.

sometimes the holidays feel more overwhelming and less fun and cheerful. I find that when I'm feeling blue baking a tred true recipe (christmas cookies?) and sharing it with my friends *always* cheers me up:)
Feel better!
