Remember those gorgeous French macarons I gave away a few months ago? The sponsor of that offer, the Sucré Sweet Boutiques and Confection Studio of New Orleans, is at it again.
No, it’s not a king cake (even though that’s a specialty confection often associated with New Orleans). This time around the giveaway is in the universal language: chocolate.
Not just any chocolate, either: Sucré is giving away a 15-piece New Orleans Chocolate Collection.
That’s three each of the following flavors:
- Avery – Caramel milk chocolate ganache in dark chocolate that’s been sprinkled with salt
- Chicory – New Orleans-style coffee folded into a dark chocolate ganache, then encased in more dark chocolate
- Magnolia – Pecan ganache enrobed in dark chocolate, then topped with candied pecans
- Meunière – Brown butter mixed with white chocolate ganache and encased in dark chocolate
- Blangé – White chocolate ganache that’s flavored further with banana and rum and then dipped in white chocolate
Imagine bringing these to a Labor Day cookout, or to your last weekend at the lake. Then again, you may not want to share these delights. (I wouldn’t!)
Note: The confectioner will ship only to the contiguous United States, so I’m afraid this giveaway is only for residents of the Lower 48 only. That is, unless you live elsewhere and want the chocolates delivered to someone who lives “Outside,” as we Alaskans call it. Whoever receives it will owe you. Big-time.

They look delicious.
MMM…why can’t chocolate be a low-cal health food? But seriously, I’ve been a fan of yours since you were writing for MSN about being a college student and making food stretch, such as picking neighbors’ fruit trees and making tons of jam.
Yes! Yes! YES! (Think Meg Ryan in “When Harry Met Sally …”)
Mmm..goodies from NOLA. Yes!

What is better than chocolate?
That and a big bottle of wine would be the start of an awesome week 🙂
I would absolutely love to send these to an awesome couple I met down in Louisiana. They have since moved out of state but miss the area very much.
Oh my goodness, this would be heaven and my birthday is this week!!!!
These sound amazing.
I don’t think these would make it past my front porch. There’s a good chance I’d sit down right then and there and savor them all!
Chocolate from New Orleans… how wonderful.
Can I still enter?! Pick me, please!
I have chocolate blood. So I need those!
Knowing how amazing the food is in NOLA, I’d love to try these!
