Merci – European chocolates
By Lynn
Ok so something about me, I consider myself to be a bit of a chocolate snob. I love the stuff, seriously LOVE it, in fact you may even say I’m addicted, but it has to be GOOD. I like to sit down and enjoy chocolate, like a little luxury.
I recently had the chance to try out some of the really, REALLY, yummy chocolates – very, VERY, good quality chocolates. The brand is called “Merci” – so appropriately named because these are the type of chocolates you want to give as a gift to someone special in your life, someone you want to say a special, meaningful “Thank you” to. These quality chocolates are smooth and have a variety of lovely light flavors that included: Milk Chocolate, Cream Truffle, Hazelnut-Almond, Dark Cream and Praline-Crème. They are very decadent and well made.
The delicious selection of rich European chocolates made from the finest ingredients available, provide indulgence and variety. With flavors like Cream Truffle, Hazelnut-Almond, Praline-Creme, and Dark Cream, merci will delight the palate.
The idea for merci was born in 1965, when it began to win over people’s hearts as the first individually wrapped gift-giving chocolate in Germany. Nowadays, people in over 70 countries of the world – from Poland to Singapore, from Sweden to Slovenia – give merci as a gift. 
There were 20 individually wrapped pieces so you can relax and enjoy them, without the guilt of over indulging.
For me, I know I’d like to give a meaningful thank you to my husband who is so helpful, he works a long day and comes home and still helps around the house, and always appreciative of what I do with our children throughout the day.
We ware hosting a giveaway of a box of Merci Chocolates. Please share in the comments who you would want to give a meaningful thank you to this holiday season (and why!) and you could win the box of these DELICIOUS treats.

These chocolates have a special place in my heart. The doctor that was clearing my daughter for entry into the US from the European country we were adopting her from gave us these chocolates in the clinic’s office. That day my daughter had been having a difficult time with leaving her life in the orphanage behind and it was taking a toll on her new mommy and daddy. The chocolate was a welcomed comfort.

What do I like about chocolate?! Well now I have to say that that’s the greatest question I’ve ever answered! 🙂 I’ve been in love with chocolate since I was a wee little girl. I remember tricking my sibs into trading me their chocolate Easter bunnies for all my peeps, jelly beans, and anything non-chocolate. 🙂 I guess what I like most about it is that it makes me feel good… like I deserve a special treat.
