Who Are You Calling a Skinny Cow?? The Giveaway!!



With my far from successful past few months, I was totally shocked when I received a response from Skinny Cow in regards to my hosting a blog giveaway.  Wait, I'm getting a head of myself...let's start from the beginning...

I sent Skinny Cow an email a few weeks ago after trying their new line of Skinny Cow candy bars.

Yes.  You heard me right...CANDY BARS!!  Actually, more like chocolaty, heavenly, bites of sheer orgasmic goodness....and for only around 100 calories a serving.  Whhaaaatttt??

It's no secret that I'm a chocoholic.  It isn't, right?  Chocolate is my kryptonite.  I couldn't get enough of it.  Yet, since starting my weight loss journey, I've strapped on the big STOP sign whenever I see a chocolate bar...and managed to somehow grow some willpower - and do pretty well stopping my crazy, chocolate loving mouth from eating a lot of it.  It appears it may be the only willpower I got from this whole journey - but it's by far one of my biggest accomplishments thankyaverymuch.

That was until I tried Skinny Cow's Heavenly Crisp.


It's probably one of the best candy bars I've EVER eaten...and definitely the most guilt-free candy bar, that's fo'sure!  I first tried the bars at my local Wal-Mart...from one of those sample carts.  After one bite, I ran my behind straight to the candy aisle and grabbed a whole box of them!

I emailed Skinny Cow to thank them for creating such awesome, guilt free decadence...and wondered if they'd be willing to provide me the opportunity to host a blog giveaway...so that I could share these heavenly wonders with some of my readers.

And they responded.  Holy ant balls... my first corporate sponsored giveaway..can I get a whoop whoop??

Now, the Heavenly Crisp isn't the only chocolaty goodness they've introduced recently.  In addition to the bars, they have  these awesome little things...
You want to try them, don't you? 

I know... I can almost feel the drool coming through my computer screen.  Your mind is swirling and battling with itself.  Is it too good to be true?  Can there really be chocolate than I can eat without jeopardizing my calorie intake or feeling guilt ridden after?  Yes there can, my friends!

I don't blame you for wondering all of those things, I did...BUT they are awesome, delicious...and won't make you feel guilty and shameful for eating them at all.  Win.  Win.  Win.

So, Rita from Nestle was kind enough to provide me with some coupons to share with you guys.  Not just some coupons... but three lucky readers will receive 4 coupons that are good for each of the new candy products - allowing you to try them all TOTALLY FREE!  You can either use the coupons to try one of each new product - or mix 'n match them to buy the bars/clusters you want.  It's totally up to you, but I would definitely try all of them... if I were you.

The Heavenly Crisp bars are layers of chocolate and wafer...and they literally melt in your mouth.  You can opt for milk chocolate or peanut butter flavors. 

The Dreamy Clusters are bite sized chewy mounds of delicious chocolate, caramel, and crispy pieces.  You can get these sweet treats in milk chocolate or dark chocolate.

OK, so who wants to try them??

Again, I have three sets of 4 coupons.  That means three people have the chance to snag this opportunity to try all of the flavors TOTALLY FREE!!

So, what loop holes am I going to make you jump through to get them??  Not too many...

  3. I must admit that I am a late comer to the Skinny Cow train -- credit years of not shopping at a "regular" grocery store (Trader Joes). Just tried the mint ice cream sandwiches and OMG HAPPY MAKING.

    So seeing the chocolate bars advertised made me very happy! I want to try them because a) the ice cream bar rocks and b) I'd love a low-Point alternative to my Weight Watchers bars, which cost a FORTUNE.
