Summer Splash! The Chocolate Nation Review & Giveaway



 I love chocolate. Its a big weakness for me. Of course my kids like it too, and we can never have too much of it in the house. Because I love organic food, I'm always on the look out for tasty treats that I can find in organic form. Recently, I came across a little shop called The Chocolate Nation. They make all types of delicious chocolate treats, many of which are made with organic, soy free chocolate. With summer on the horizon, their delicious morsels are a great treat to have around the house.


For our review, I received a few boxes of their delicious Truffle Fudge Bites. They come in packages of four generous portions and are available in several tasty varieties including Dark Chocolate with French Grey Sea Salt and Semi Sweet Chocolate and Caramel with Hawaiian Alaea Sea Salt.  Don't let the names fool you, they are more than just one bite. They are a a nice big piece of decadent chocolate that melts in your mouth.  They have a crispy outer shell with a sweet chocolate and caramel cream filing. But its the sprinkling of sea salt that makes them really unique. That little bit of saltiness keeps them from being overwhelming sweet, making it easy to enjoy your whole portion.







The Truffle Fudge Bites are only one example of so many tasty choices available at The Chocolate Nation. You can also find truffles and bonbons, fruits and nuts, kosher and vegan items, and more. Their prices are very low for such high end, gourmet chocolate, shipping is quick, and ordering is secure. Also be sure to check out Rita's review over at One2Try for more great chocolate ideas. Chocolate makes a wonderful gift for any occasion and its also a great indulgent treat for yourself. So check out The Chocolate Nation today.







One very lucky winner is going to receive the same two boxes of truffles that I received to review. To enter, please visit The Chocolate Nation and tell me another item you would love to try.
