Channel: Food & Wine Living   

blogtoberfest2008October is traditionally an exciting month for b5media’s Lifestyles Channel and our readers. Summer is over and the Holidays have not yet begun, so it is the perfect time for us to thank our readers for their continued loyalty!

To do this, we’ve joined forces with hundreds of sponsors to create a two week extravaganza of giveaways, jump-starting the holiday season and allowing our readers to win gifts, both for themselves and for giving. This year’s Blogtoberfest is better than ever before. We have simplified the process and the sponsors have been extremely generous in the gifts that they are offering and as a result, we’ll be passing on in excess of $7,000 worth of prizes! Don’t miss a minute of the fun!

Blogtoberfest officially kicks off today - Monday, October 6, 2008

There are lots of great prizes to be given away. Prizes are available to U.S. and Canada residents unless otherwise noted. All you have to do is:

  1. Browse the channel or visit your favorite blogs.

  2. Watch for sponsored prize winning posts wearing the official Blogtoberfest button shown above.
  3. Leave a comment on that exact post. Your comment IS your entry.
  4. Check back with that blog within a week and see what the prize is and if you’re the lucky winner.

Consider subscribing to the Chocolate Bytes blog feed, and some of the other Lifestyles channel blog feeds to make sure you don’t miss out on any exciting opportunities. Many blogs will be conducting between 2 and 7 giveaways and just where those will be appearing is a secret and half the fun!

Each prize-winning post will share links to other prize winning blogs for that same day. This makes hunting easier and improves your chances of winning! That’s it! Participating blogs can be found at our channel hub.

Chocolate Candy Apples

Not much says “fall” more than caramel and candy apples. And they’ve really come a long way over the last few years - there weren’t cookie coated or chocolate drizzled apples when I was a kid!

They really couldn’t be easier to make, too. If you want to go basic just coat an apple with melted caramel and roll in some chopped chocolate or crushed chocolate cookies and enjoy. But you if you’ve got some time to kill, try making some of the candy apples below!

To make:
Caramel and Chocolate Apples
Nutty Chocolate Caramel Apples
Double Chocolate Caramel Apples
Chocolate-Dipped Slices
White Chocolate Apples
The Ultimate Chocolate Covered Apples

To buy:
Amy’s Gourmet Apples
A Bountiful Harvest
Richland Gourmet Apples
Miss Debbie’s Specialty Apples

Lindt Assures Us Their Chocolate is Melamine-Free
By: Chocolate Bytes    4 days 10 hours 24 minutes ago
Channel: Food & Wine Living   

With the current news of some chocolate around the world testing positive for melamine, reader Renee emailed me a response sent to her by Lindt after she inquired about the dairy used in their chocolate.

They assured her that the dairy used in their U.S. production comes from the U.S., not China, and is free of melamine:

“All milk ingredients used in the production of our products conform to applicable laws within Europe and the United States.

“Milk ingredients used in Lindts chocolate production are free of Melamine and do not originate from China . Lindt USA procures its milk products from sources within the United States; likewise, our European affiliates procure products within their respective territories.”

I love Lindt, so this is great to hear. Thanks for keeping us in the loop, Renee!
