Alright, let’s kick this celebration off with some sweet goodness from Theo Chocolates! Take a look at this beautiful gift pack of all-organic dark yuminess that’s also Fair Trade certified. Should you be the lucky winner, you’ll receive a 32 piece Theo Confection Collection Box, Nib Brittle, enrobed or naked (4 oz.), Sipping Chocolate (1 lb.), 3 of their 3400 Phinney flavored bars (2 oz. bars) and 2 Theo Origin bars (3 oz. bars).

Sweet tooth aching yet?

We dig Theo because they were pioneers in the act of switching to organic chocolate — becoming the first importer of organic cocoa beans into North America in 1994. To this day, Theo is the only roaster of organic cocoa beans and the first roaster of Fair Trade certified cocoa beans in the United States. They were recently honored this year with 5 medals from The Academy Of Chocolate and have also been featured as a favorite of Oprah in her O Magazine.

We’re pretty sure you do not need any convincing that this is some damn fine chocolate — but feel free to jump over to their official site anyways.

Want to win? Leave a comment below on why you need this delicious sugar fix! One comment will be drawn at random 72 hours from now. The full contest details are available here. Good luck!

  • http://meltheblog.blogspot.com/ Mary

    I could use a sugar rush since I work from 9:00 am until 11:00 pm most weekdays! Chocolate would definitely help keep me going!

    Happy birthday! Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Thea Rose

    I got a bar of this chocolate for my birthday…it’s yummy. ANd I like the name too :)

  • http://www.yourwildchild.com Melynda

    I am 40 weeks and 5 days pregnant. That’s five days past my due date. I’m tired and uncomfortable and chocolate will give me solace.

    Assuming I have this baby before the chocolate arrives, then I’ll be a tired mother of a 1.5 year old and a newborn!

    Only dark, organic chocolate can help!

  • Julie M

    In this house chocolate is a staple, it has it’s own food group, haha. Add to the fact that this is a Fair trade product and that makes it almost perfect!! Thanks for the great contest!! :)

  • Sabrina

    Who Doesn’t Want Chocolate — especially the super, awesome, yummy Theo Chocolate!

    Thanks for the great prize giveaway!

  • http://www.kiirababy.com Kai

    What a great prize!! Happy birthday!

  • http://www.livingwithoutmeat.com Sally

    I NEEEEEED this goodness because I sit at a desk for 8 hours a day and coworkers insist on filling a candy jar with non-vegan yuckiness … and they keep the candy jar in my cubicle

    Other than diamonds, I don’t think there is anything a girl adore more than chocolates.

  • http://michael-niemann.com Michael

    Theo makes fair trade chocolate and I need chocolate as much as I need a clear conscience.

  • Holly

    I’m trying to green every aspect of my life and since chocolate is my biggest vice some organic chocolate would really help!

  • http://www.vegoftheweek.com vegoftheweek

    Different chocolate for every week, of course!

  • Rachelle

    I’m PMSing and I’m vegan…Need I say more? LOL!…Happy Birthday!! :)

  • VeggieTart

    Sugar, salt, chocolate, caffeine–these are a few of my favorite things.

    If I win, can I get it all vegan? I always have something chocolate in my bag in the event of a stressful day. If I were a true chocoholic, I’d be pouring vegan chocolate syrup over chocolate soy ice cream, but I’m not that nuts.

    And I promise I’ll share it with my boyfriend–if he behaves.

    My boyfriend sent me the truffles and bars right before Valentine’s Day this year and I was in heaven. The truffles are so fresh they burst with flavor – the lemon and the PB&J was my favorite. The bars are awesome too – the curry is really interesting and the chocolate and bread is surprisingly accurate – like a chocolate croissant. :)

    i need chocolate to stay sane. i really do. Must have chocolate….

    please pick me!!!!!

  • patti

    My friend had a stomach thing wherein she had to give up eating solid foods for awhile. I told her I’d give up my favorite thing too. So I gave up chocolate. Turns out they misdiagnosed her. She’s eating solid foods again… and me? I have yet to catch up!

  • Kate

    chocolate makes me happy. ’nuff said.

    hbd2u :)

  • GreenQueen

    I don’t need chocolate- chocolate needs me! I’ve been in a life-long relationship with chocolate and it’s never cancelled a date or ditched me for one of my friends. Keep us together- pick me to win!

  • Cheryl W

    I need this chocolate because without my chocolate fix I get cranky! thanks!

  • Jessica

    I need this chocolate because my PhD thesis is due in 37 days. That means I need to write a LOT and chocolate will make me happy enough to get it done. :) Besides, I love Ecorazzi! Happy Birthday!

    What’s not to like about chocolate? :)

  • Joleen

    I have three kids. Chocolate is my therapy.

  • http://www.blogfully.net Barbara Baker

    What I wouldn’t give for that sweet looking chocolate gift basket that so desperately is calling my name…It’s saying, take me home, eat me, enjoy…Oh my gosh, it’s taunting me!!!!

    I’ve gotta win this, I need this :)

    Great giveaway!!!

    Hi, I soooo need this delicious sugar fix of Chocolate because I work in a Special Needs School. I work with Autistic, ED children and other students with special needs. I really, really NEED the energy as you can imagine!! I NEED some sugar to keep up with them! LOL Some days trash cans are thrown across the classrooms or hallways. Yes, my days are like that! Makes for a dangerous situation. It’s the hardest job I’ve ever had in my life–it’s also the most rewarding one.

  • http://nowenteringmomville.blogspot.com Mary Jenkins

    I’d love this basket o’ treats just to share with everyone. Everybody has been so good to me and mine. I wish I had a nice way to extend a thank you. Nothing conveys the seriousness of the sentiment more than chocolate!

  • http://laurinandkellytalk.com Laurin

    I wants me some chocolate!

  • Jerae

    Oh my…chocolate heaven!

  • Karin A

    mmmmm ..chocolate. One of my favorite treats to have with coffee.

  • http://norrin2.blogspot.com/ Robert Loy

    The diet that I’m on the only sweet allowed is dark chocolate. I dream about the stuff.

  • jamie lynn

    i need to stuff my face with chocolate because my loving partner has been deployed for five months, i work with children all day long, my sewing machine broke and i’m midway through making a dress entirely by hand, i have to go visit my mother-in-law in a couple weeks, and if i don’t get some downtime with a glass of wine and some chocolatey goodness, i may implode.

  • Johannah B

    I think of chocolate as a lifeline…. and about now with back to school, etc. I need one!! or a whole basket for that matter.

  • http://motheroftwoyesposahermosa.blogspot.com/ Michele Pineda

    If I won, I would love to bring it to the office and share with my coworkers…we all LOVE chocolate, and when stressed, that is the first thing we reach for!

  • Marie Hoag

    I need chocolate because I am a new 2nd grade teacher, working 10 hours a day (UNPAID) setting up my classroom, on top of teaching summer school. I am dedicated to having a Green classroom and this is a great start :)

  • http://brainyblonde.com erin f

    I too work long hours and have moved four times in four years due to hurricanes. I need to share this chocolate with my big family who are also storm survivors ;)

  • Betty

    It’s chocolate. That in itself is a perfectly good reason for anyone to need it. Chocolate is absolutely required when the inlaws come to visit.

  • http://exotic1.blogspot.com/ Rhonda Martin

    Are you kidding!?! Who could resist entering for this giveaway!!!! I can almost taste it already. Have you ever had a day where you thought “Give Me Chocolate or Give Me Death” Well I have those days A LOT~!!! If not for Chocolate I think I would already be committed lol Thanks for getting my hopes up but you do know that if I don’t win this after seeing all the wonderful chocolate you know what that means,,,,The stock market for cocoa is going to go sky high~!

  • http://AlliesAnswers.com Allie

    Oooh! That looks good!

  • Michele

    I need to have a stash of chocolates from the kids (maybe I would share ths though) this would be a great stash and healthier! And MAYBE last me a while!

  • Krista

    Those definitely look tasty. Count me in.

  • Erika

    Chocolate makes every day sooooo much better! :)

  • Chocoholics Girlfriend

    I would love to have that delicious basket to share with my boyfriend. I received a bar of Trader Joes Organic Chocolate from my boyfriends cousin last night as a belated birthday present. He wanted me to share with him, relentlessly saying “Sharing is Caring” Didnt care enough to share last night, but if I win this I will gladly share with him!!

    Whoa!

    I need the chocolate to soothe my aching heart (and muscles). Cacao contains magnesium you know. It’s good for the weary body.

    I need the chocolate to counteract the assailing non-native grasses in bloom in our southwestern deserts. The stimulant effects of chocolate can dry some people’s sinuses. I guess I’m one of the lucky few.

    I need that chocolate.

  • http://mediamafia.org/enter_now/ Chi

    What a delicious contest! I NEED chocolate! I don’t think life is liveable without chocolate in it. So you know, if I win, I will thoroughly enjoy it :D

  • Mook Han Kim

    Organic & sweet. How can I resist it!

  • liz

    I hereby deserve (and need) the chocolate because I have slaved over a hot fire 10 hours a day 7 days a week for 20 years.

  • Sharyn

    All I need to hear is the *word* chocolate, and I am there. And dark chocolate makes it that much better.

  • http://www.greenyourdecor.com Jennae @ Green Your Decor

    I’d be lying if I told you I “need” this chocolate, but I sure as heck want it. Delicious chocolate and its organic AND Fair Trade? I think I’m in heaven.

    My British hubby and daughter could go through this in about a day- let’s give em a chance to try!
