*This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for all your entries. Please stay tuned for more fun giveaways soon. Congrats to Kari H comment #101. Enjoy your Valentines Day & Scharffen Berger!
With Valentine’s Day in just a few weeks I wanted to give you a little token of my love for you. I am so excited to host another giveaway with my favorite chocolate, ScharffenBerger. I enjoy using this super high quality chocolate & cocoa powders in my baking & sweet treats because it has such great flavor. When I eat chocolate I want it to taste like chocolate & nothing else.
I prefer the darkest of the dark. Usually I sweeten the unsweetened baking bars & rich cocoa powders with stevia to taste. You could of course skip that extra step & enjoy a semisweet, bittersweet and their milk chocolate bars as is. No worries it’s all good, it’s chocolate right??!!
Some my favorite recipes using chocolate are below & please visit my recipes page for more.
- Chocolate Crepes with Cherry Jam and Ricotta Cheese
- Chocolate Ginger Truffles
- No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
- Simple and Creamy Chocolate Ganache
The Essence of Chocolate Book by John ScharffenBerger is a great read. Not only is it a wonderful cookbook, it also walks you through the process of how this wonderful chocolate is crafted. It is loaded with dreamy recipes for cakes, cookies, bars, brownies & all kinds of confections.
What are some of your favorite chocolate treats? Feel free to share them in your comments below. Now time for the giveaway!

I am thinking of making my husband’s favorite meal: steak and mashed potatoes AND, of course, a dessert that is decadently rich in chocolate. 🙂

I plan on making lots of things that involve chocolate,
this would be such a neat thing to win!!! Thank you!
I love that cookbook. Of course I am making

Fabulous giveaway Marla! I love Scharffen Berger’s
chocolate…especially their dark chocolate. Yum! I will actually
be in NYC for work on Valentine’s Day this year but I’m hoping to
leave the hubby and kids a few treats. Last year I made them heart
brownie sandwiches which they loved so maybe that might be
something I’ll leave behind. I follow you everywhere and Scharffen
Berger 🙂
I’m a fan of Family Fresh Cooking on Facebook.
I’m not sure what I’ll make for Valentine’s Day yet. Maybe
my family’s favorite brownies. 🙂
Catherine: You have me very curious as to what makes these your family’s favorite brownies? Are they crumbly, sticky-gooey?? Hmmm
They are moist and gooey. Just a simple recipe made with organic butter and chocolate chunks. But sometimes the simple things are the most delicious! 🙂
Catherine: I agree, for me I love my treats & all my food to be simple & made with the best ingredients. High quality food should speak for itself & not need to much enhancement at all. I bet your brownies are fabulous!
Great giveaway, Marla! I won’t enter since I won one of
your fabulous chocolate giveaways a while back…lovely prize pack
though!
I am thinking about making red velvet cake. Yum!
We have a recipe that we love for a chocolate cheesecake

Josie: Any desserts you come up with are gonna be pure magic. Love your links!
I’m planning on making my husband’s favorite dessert for Valentine’s – lemon meringue pie. For me, though, chocolate is always a winner 🙂
Cellabella: Perhaps you could garnish that gorgeous Lemon Meringue Pie with some melted chocolate ribbons or chocolate shavings, hmmmm…..Lucky hubs you have.
Haven’t quite decided on the type of cake but when my parents moved out of my childhood home I found a heart shaped pan and brought it back to DC with me. Definitely going to use it for V-day!

For my husband, I’ll either be making steaks or chicken piccata and for my co-workers, I’ll be making either peppermint or caramel brownies.
Amanda: Both of those dinner ideas sound awesome. I love a good piccata sauce with all that butter and the salty capers. The brownies sound great too – your co-workers will be so touched.

My husband wants bread pudding. We have a local restaurant that makes the best bread pudding we have ever tasted and he is totally addicted…lol. I’m not sure I can compare, but I’m going to try.

Valentines day isn’t even on my radar yet! Chocolate will definitely be involved and likely some delicious beef for my husband. His gift is always a meal he loves, that way I enjoy it along with him.
Maybe it’s time to graduate from Hershey’s unsweetened
cocoa, huh… Anyway – I’m making Chocolate Orange Truffles for
Valentine’s Day – post to follow as it gets closer!
Courtney: Sometimes I use Hershey’s unsweetened cocoa powder too. The Scharffen Berger has a much richer & vibrant flavor though. Good to have both around to satisfy all moods 🙂
I am going to make brownies and cut them out with heart shaped coookie cutters then frost with cream cheese frosting — nothing fancy but the kids love them.
Chocolate Mousse with Scharfenberger Choco! And freshly
thawed raspberries from our own patch….
We will both cook, grilled steaks, baked potatoes, green
salad and those little molten chocolate cakes
I’ll be making my husbands favorite brownies.
It was so great to hear your voice yesterday! Chocolate is my favorite and the best chocolate i have ever tasted was in a cake you made for me at a birthday party for Melia. Lots of layers of it! I think you used Scharffen Berger even back then. Your cakes are the best I have ever had!
I will be making swiss chard for valentines day. Red Swiss chard with lots of mushrooms.
Andrea: I know, I am so happy we had a few minutes of chat time yesterday. Always love talking to you & hope you guys visit again this Spring. I probably did use Scharffen Berger in that cake i made for you way before this blog ever came to be. The taste for the good stuff has been around for a long time. Talk soon, OK?? xo
Thanks for hosting this great giveaway, Marla! I’ll
probably be making some chocolate caramel candy to give to my
husband, along with a little love note. We’ll see. Valentine’s Day
will come directly after a dinner party the previous weekend,
though, so I won’t be cooking or baking much. However, if I win
this I can envision making some droolworthy chocolate ganache…
and eating the rest. Yum!
I make “love” muffins. They are muffins with notes of
“love” tucked inside 🙂 I’ve even purchased Wilton’s toppers that

Scharffenberger is the only chocolate I’ll allow in my house! I love it’s deep dark intense flavor. that’s how you know you’re getting the good stuff 😛
Joanne: I know, once you get a taste for the best stuff out there, no turning back my friend. I love the unsweetened SB ’cause then I can get loads of chocolate flavor with just a hint of sweetness from stevia that I add in. I’m crazy like that.
I plan on making rosewater panna cotta.
Wow, I haven’t thought that far ahead! Next week I am trying out a new chocolate cake with coconut filling recipe for my husband’s birthday, and that’s all I have been thinking about! I hope it turns out.
Susie: Chocolate with coconut cream is a win-win in my book. Good luck with that B’day cake for your hubs 🙂

Veronica: Is there a such thing as “leftover cookies??!!” How cute that you are gonna pipe the cookies for your girls with XO’s. Always a super treat to get that kind of goodie in the lunch box 🙂

We always make chocolate pudding for valentines day. It was what I made on our first valentines together and my husband thought I was magical because he had never had homemade chocolate pudding until that night. He loved the warm pudding with the freshly whipped cream. Maybe that’s why he married me 🙂

I will be making chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.

One of my current favorite treats is cocoa nib cookies. I
substitute cocoa nibs for chocolate chips, with a slight adjustment
to the sugar proportions. MMM
Chocophilenyc: That is a really fun way to make chocolate chip cookies. I gotta try that sometime soon. Love the flavor & crunch of toasted cacao nibs.

Fettucine alfredo and a rich hazelnut galette.
Great giveaway! I’ll be making these Iced Spice Valentines 🙂

i think it’s safe to say that this is the finest giveaway package ever. for v day, i’ll be eating more than i’m making. 🙂
Grace: I know it is hard not to eat more of the chocolate then actually bake with it. I have been melting it & drizzling it over my pancakes & greek yogurt. Kinda good, well great.
I’ll be making my Chocolaty Coconut Mini Tortes recipe. They are made with canola oil vs. butter, so they’re a lot lower in the “bad” fat than a typical torte. http://mealmakeovermoms.com/recipes/desserts/chocolaty-coconut-mini-tortes/
I’ll also be trying some new recipes (TBD) as I plan a chocolate show for my weekly radio podcast, Cooking with the Moms. Thanks for the giveaway!! I’ll look at the comments on your post for some inspiration ….

For V-day I’m planning on making red velvet cupcakes.
Whether or not I’m actually going to share them with my Valentine
is still under consideration.
Krista: I am with you, sharing treats can be very difficult. Especially cupcakes 😉
Only if your valentine deserves them!
I’m going to attempt chocolate souffle.. Wish me luck!!
🙂
Courtney: Best of luck with that souffle. I am sure if you put your mind to it the souffle will come out perfect!

I don’t have special plans with a special someone, but what
I usually do is bake some Valentines goodies for all my friends.
This year I’m thinking of making heart shaped sugar cookies dipped
in chocolate and chocolate cookies dipped in white chocolate. I’ll
be decorating these cookies with red and pink sugar and heart
shaped sprinkles 🙂

I’m having a difficult time telling where I should start with all of these links. Salted caramel chocolate cupcakes? Chocolate crepes?
I’ve always wanted to make a perfect layer chocolate cake for my hub. We’ve tried so many recipes but they always fall short of that perfect one.
I’m making chocolate lava cakes, I think! Yum yum.
