Celebrate Chocolates *giveaway*

I LOVE chocolate, I'm a woman so of course I love it, right? So when Family Review Network asked me if I wanted to try some new Celebrate Chocolate Truffles I couldn't say no. These truffles are unique in that they're designed to help control your appetite so you eat less. If you read my other blog you know of my struggle to get healthy, so anything that claims to taste delicious and help me lose weight sounds too good to be true. But I'm not going to discount something before trying it.

My chocolates arrived in a special packaging that kept them from melting in shipment. I received two different boxes, one of Chocolate Classics (one light truffle, one dark truffle, and three cocoa almonds) and a box of Chocolate Creations (cherry, almond and raspberry truffles). The directions are to eat a couple about 20 minutes before a meal. Then when you eat you'll feel more satisfied and will eat less.

I first tried the light truffle, it was mighty tasty! I'm not sure if it curbed my appetite or not, but it did satisfy a chocolate craving. My favorite item though was the cocoa almonds. Almonds are a weakness of mine, I love them! The cocoa gave them a dark flavor that was awesome! Overall I'd say these tasted great, but I might have to order more to see if they really work to satisfy my hunger. Eating chocolate for research, perfect!

Are you interested in trying them and seeing if they help you eat less? If so, you're in luck because one lucky Red Sox Mommy reader will win the same samples I tried (a approximate $11.50 value). To enter:

I love this idea! I have to be honest, I've been trying to give up chocolate *Gasp*, candy, soda, etc. because, I'm obsessed with wanting to lose weight right now. This sounds like a really great product and not having to give up chocolate and a chance to lose weight sounds like heaven!!
