Although I can’t make it to NYC, I would share the delicious chocolate with my delicious wife.

i wouldn’t be able to attend, but i know my husband with love to share these with me.

I wish I could make it to New York, but I’d definitely love to share the chocolates with my wife!

I would love to attend the show in NYC, but since I live in Indiana it is impossible. I would appreciate you putting me in the running for the box of chocolates for me and my husband. Thanks

I would share my Edible Chocolate Box with my family--none of us could ever get enough chocolate.

I live in NJ, I must have chocolate every day or I will perish, and Yes, I will drive into NYC to attend the show when I win! :)

As a chocolate addict I would LOVE to attend, however since I live too far away I would sincerely love a box of your chocolates. I would share it with my (even bigger chocoholic) father who has taught me how and why to love chocolate and LIFE itself!

The reason I deserve to win this is that today is my birthday and about the only thing that will keep me from burying my head underneath the covers all day today is the thought that there is a whole lotta chocolate in my immediate future! Bring it on!! And yes, I can attend in person...

Going would be a dream come true for me but since I cant I would love the chance to win a box of your goodies I would share with my kids

opps, forgot to enter a comment! I would love to win this because I’ve had a horrible day and am in desperate needs of fine, quality chocolates.

I want to go, but more importantly, my roomate who has not had a date in.. Why go into long form math? Needs to go. Chocolate is a great substitute for other vices. So, we do need to go, please.

I would love to visit this show, but driving from Texas to NY is just a bit more than I can do this week.
I would love the chocolates however and would share with all my friends.

Sadly, I’m too far away to even smell the tantilizing chocolate, let along imbibe. I’ll have to comfort myself in the thought of sharing the chocolate box with my sweet hubby, (afte the kids are in bed, of course!)

I am addicted to chocolate and as a mom of two with no time or energy, chocolate is a nice escape at this point in life, sounds like an amazing event and a nice hour ride for me. thank you

I live to far away to attend unfortunately, but I would love the box of chocolates!

Attending this event would be a very nice gift for my wife of 12 year’s who adores chocolate, a dream visit for her and also way for me to say thank you for being a great mother.

I would share mine with my dad. He is elderly and and getting forgetful.I don’t want him to forget what good chocolates taste like.

I don’t like chocolate, I love it! I would share it with my boss’ who’ve been very nice and understanding during a time of crisis for me. Thanks!

I must admit, I’m a chocoholic. I don’t know of a 12-step program for this and I’m sure I won’t attend anyway. I’m sorry to say, I probably won’t share the chocolate, should I win it. I have to be honest.

If I won this I would share it with my daughter who is coming home on Friday for her two week leave from Afghanistan where she is stationed with the Army. It would make a sweet day even sweeter!

I love chocolate and of course so do my 3 kids! I would share it with them.

I wish I could attend but I would share the chocolates with my hubby. Thank you!

I love chocolate above and beyond all candies and foods. If I won I would share my chocolate box with my children for they take after their Mom craving CHOCOLATE.

As a resident of California, attending the event would be out of the question. However, I still would love a box of chocolates sent home to me!

with my hubs

i so would be able to attend, and hmmm just might either way, and if i couldn’t go, i’d share the chocolates with the love of my life, my daughter, and of course my man

Never been to New York!! I live for Chocolate!!

I can’t make it to NYC but I would share my box of chocolate with my co-workers as we are working through a major system upgrade and NEED chocolate!

I can’t make it to NYC, but I would LOVE the box of chocolates. I would share the candy with my best friend who has been with me through THICK and THIN...

Share, I would have to share chocolate?! My fellow PMS’ing friends can lick the chocolate bits on the bottom then if I must share. Tis the season I suppose.

I may share this with my DH if he’s lucky!LOL

I’ll Make time to go on this Trip! Even Where my new BOOTS!

mom would just love this

I am right here in Manhattan and can most definately can make it in a New York minute! Plus it’s my soon to be 13 year old daughter’s birthday weekend!! It would be such a blast!!

I wouldn’t be able to attend this year, but I am willing to share these with my daughter who loves Chocolate as much as me !!!

I need to attend the Chocolate Show because I must have my chocolate fix every day since, after all, chocolate is really one of the essential food groups. A personal tour with Chuck, with tastings and treats from Charles Chocolates, would make the Show the most yummy experience ever!

Can’t get there from here -- not this year, anyway! However, if I twist their arms, I imagine my family would somehow manage to share prize chocolates with me. Thanks for the drawing!

I can’t go :( I would share my chocolates with my 17 yo daughter for being my Black Friday shopping buddy (we have a blast!)

Call me a Chocohalic I have to eat chocolate everyday for so I don’t get grumpy

Oh my! I live in Boston, but just happen to be going to New York City this coming weekend. I would love love love to have this opportunity to go and compare the finest of chocolates! I must, i NEED to know which is the best!

Do you have ANY idea how much I LOVE chocolate!?

aaaaaaaaaaaah

Pam in NJ

I love chocolates too. I live too far away to attend, though it sounds like a wonderful time. I would really love to win some chocolates.

Oh, I’m going to be in NYC this weekend, and I =need= to go because I’ve missed this every other November by being away and I’m one of the biggest chocoholics on the planet!!!!!

I’m from Manhattan, pregnant, and craving nothing but chocolate and pickles. I would sneak in a kosher dill and enjoy it with the finest chocolate in the world. Baby would love it (and mommy would too)

I’m lovin chocolate!!!

Oh. My. Gosh. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm drools

I love it

Ive always wanted to go to a chocolate show, they sound like so much fun!

I would so love to go... this is sweet!

Yes, Pick Me! Pick Me! And I will bring my chocoholic friend, Roz. Roz is desperate for chocolate now that her significant other is not so significant. If I win only the chocolate box, I will outrightly present it to Roz - and only take a little sniff for myself unless she offers a bite.

I would share the chocolate with my family at the holiday festivities....

I would begrudgingly share the chocolates with my family.....but not too many!

I live in NYC and nothing would make my girlfriend happier then to attend this. We eat chocolate everyday anyway, and this would put a huge smile on her face... I just want her to have that smile!

New York is my kinda of town

because my wife and daughter are nuts about chocolate

I’ve never attended the legendary Le Chocolate Show New York because tickets are prohibitively expensive for a poor writer -- even one feels that a life without chocolate is not worth living. If you picked me, I would be eternally grateful, as this is probably the only way I’ll ever be able to attend.

My girlfriend and I love chocolate. The only thing we like better is spending time together. Attending this show would be a perfect opportunity for us to do both :)

My chocolate loving husband would consider this a sure sign of my affection for him.

Count me in! I LOVE CHARLES CHOCOLATE!

I would love this I am not far from new york

the chocolate would be enjoyed by all in my home

I love chocolate!! :-)

Chocolate helps me stay sane. Must have chocolate. Need chocolate. Send chocolate ---I will share, honest ----- with friends and family, one for them one for me, one more for them and two for me, and on.

A box of chocolate would be a wonderful chaser for the hot chocolate which I just consumed.

I am the world’s greatest chocoholic. Would love to win some chocolate.

Leaving my plans open this weekend in case I win!

I wish I could go to the show in NY, but I’m happy to enter to win the box of chocolates. Yum! Thanks for the contest.

I grew up with a chocoholic. So of course I appreciate good chocolate.

I doubt I could make it to NY, but I know that my daughter and grandchildren would be MORE than happy to help me eat the chocolates!

NYC & Chocolate what could be finer!!! I would come with my adorable spouse who is a New York native and enjoy a real chocolate dream.

oh my lord, my sister would go crazy for this.

I WANT CANDY

I would love to win this. I’ll be in the city on Sunday anyway, this would be awesome!

I will be there with my taste buds ready. Bring on the chocolate.

I live in NYC, and I’m scheduled to be working on Friday, repainting my apartment on Saturday and throwing a purely vanilla birthday party for my chocolate-hating 4-year-old on Sunday. How LOVELY it would be for my husband and I to take a chocolate-filled break from all that! (And yes, we certainly WOULD take that break if offered!)

I would be unable to attend the show in new York (even though I would LOVE to!) but my sons and husband would happily share the chocolate with me!

With this short notice, I can still get there
(live on the East Side) and would LOVE to be
there surrounded by chocolate. George Constanza’s
dream was to be ensconced in velvet. Mine ...
chocolate and the show would fulfill that dream.

Chocolate? Chocolate? I want chocolate!

Oh my gosh, I need Chocolate!!!!!!!I can’t attend the show, but share the prize with my Choco-holic freind!

Need chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I love chocolate and I am close enough to the city to drive. Make me a winner.

I love chocolate! It is my passion. Thanks for the chance!!!

I would love to try these chocolates.

I would LOVE to attend the chocolate show this weekend. My best friend Jessie and I spend many hours in the kitchen baking and cooking. We both have a passion for food. Last week we made gluten free pumpkin chocolate chip muffins with cream cheese dropped in the top and homemade chai we smashed in her mortar and pessl. I would love to attend this show with her or alone and then I’ll take lots of notes so we can do more experimenting in our kitchens in Astoria.

I wouldn’t be able to attend, but I would share the box of chocolates with my little 92 year mother........Chocolate is her favorite thing in life!

I’d love to be in NYC for the show, but since I can’t I’d love to have chocolate to share with friends.

I would the chocolates.

I live in NYC and love the chocolate show. It’s one of the highlights of Autumn. ;)

I can’t make it to the show, but I’d love to share some chocolate with my best friend while watching a chick flick!

ooh i went to last years show -- i’d love to go again without paying!! hehe

I would love to attend the show but I can’t. I deserve to win the chocolate because I am broke. My bank account is at -250, my house and car are being repossessed and I’m currently working three jobs. The last thing I bought for myself was back in June I bought myself a ticket to see Bob Dylan, my favorite singer. I don’t eat out, I don’t buy CDs, or DVDs, I don’t go to the movies, I can’t afford luxuries such as TV and cell phones, and I haven’t eaten out in over two years. I would LOVE to be able to afford a box of chocolates. Sorry to bring you down but I’m actually very happy, as I have my health and my dog. The stress really gets to me and a box of chocolates would help. Thanks for the giveaway.

Charles Chocolates is one of our local chocolatiers. Would love to taste more of his treats! And can’t help but smile inside, everytime someone mentions Charles and his new chocolate factory in Emeryville.

Dear Talented Culinators:

I am indeed on the opposite coast from New York and therefore cannot indulge in the wonderful chocolate show. I do however, appreciate a good taste of chocolate as much as the next guy so I’m happy to vie for an edible box.

As to the question of who I would share the box of chocolates with, I would have to answer honestly. I live in Los Angeles, Hollywood in fact, a string of zip codes not known for over-indulgence in any substance that could possibly contribute to an expanding waistline. This leaves me feeling the lonely outcast. I’m a proud, open, out-of-the-closet chocolate lover! If I won this beautiful box of confections, I would be forced to shut myself in a closet with the box and a nice bottle of Pinot Noir and indulge. I wouldn’t do this out of selfishness, but out of kindness. If I were to openly consume the chocolates I would inflict pain and suffering on the friends and family who might witness the act. This would cause feelings of inner pain and self-loathing to the observers. By eating in solitary confinement I not only experience great happiness and chocolate-induced ecstasy but I save those I love from agonizing pain in the gym.

It sounds like a win-win situation doesn’t it?

I would love to go to NYC and expand my knowledge of the chocolate world. I feel lucky living here in the SF Bay Area with Michael Recchiuti Confections, Charles Chocolate and Scharffenberger at my fingertips. Tourists flock to Ghiradelli and Joseph Schmidt, but it’s nice to have artisans like Michael and Charles redefining our chocolate obsessions. Bring on NYC!!! I’m ready!

94th comment, So nice thought so I lurk today.
If won, would like to pass onto my six yr old boy.
I like culinate .

please I really love chocolate and I will share

I would love to have the chocolate!

Nyc Nyc - I love that city so much & having chocolate in NYC would be the ultimate O!

As comment number 99, it’s obvious that there’s lots of choco-competition. Sadly, no go for NYC. Yes, yes, for the box of chocolates. And I would share it with an enemy who I’ve been trying to mend fences with.

I would lovingly share this with my better half!

I am a true chocoholic but going to Le Chocolate Show New York would be an impossibility. I’ll just have to be content to stay here for the weekend and share the chocolates with my 91 year young mother.

The chocolate sounds fabulous!

I’ve already tried one of these chocolate boxes, and I can say that they’re damned good. I’m hoping to win this one too!

would love to share the choccolate with my husband

pick me!!

charles chocolates is a company i haven’t heard of before, however, as my husband is an aspiring chocolatier, i am entering for him! I cross my fingers, and hope that “BitterSweet”, my husbands company will someday aquire the trick of chocolating. Until then, may he gain experience!

Yummy,count me in!!

Moderation in All Things. Except Chocolate.

I love chocolate!

More likely, my chocoholic husband appropriately named Charles too, will share it with me,...may be. Right now he is happily not sharing his box of chocolate covered almonds and this has to stop now.He even likes the pretty box and told me that he was putting it in his bathroom ! we love Charles chocolates and can’t wait to eat the box too !!

So, my aunt’s in the hospital in NY, my mom’s visiting her there this weekend, and my mom & I are chocolate fiends. I would take a red-eye to get to NY from Portland Saturday night and go to the show on Sunday, then share the chocolate treats with my aunt in the hospital! Failing that excitement, I’d share the box of chocolates with my wonderful team at work.

oh please pick me! This contest would be my DREAM win!

Yay chocolate!

I would share the chocolate with...myself!

mmmmm

Gotta love a food show in NY, and a CHOCOLATE show would be even BETTER!! I can be there with bells on!

I have a need to go to Le Chocolate Show New York to fulfill the lack of chocolate I have not enjoyed over the past 6 months. I have lost 35 lbs., and now I am ready to enjoy a lovely day of enjoyment of my favorite treat in the world, beautiful, rich, creamy, melt in your mouth...C..H..O..C..O..L..A..T..E!!

I would share an Edible Chocolate Box with my SO :) Thanks for the giveaway!

I would love to win

Share? Do I have to? Of course, I do. If I hid it in the house, my wife would find it. Chocolate for myself? Never happen.

I love Chocolate!

As the daylight shrinks us towards winter here in the Pacific Northwest, I find myself craving Mother Nature’s best mood elevator. Who needs pharmaceuticals when there is chocolate?
Help us out here, Dr Chuck!

Please give me the ticket to the chocolate show! I am in New York for the first time this week and travelled 19hours to get here from New Zealand. I hear that chocolate cures jetlag, and I would really like to prove this theory correct.

Pick me! Pick me!! I can make it and would love to attend. I looooooove chocolate and would be in heaven if I could visit the show. All those aromas from the different chocolates....ahhhhh, so orgasmic.

I would like to enter for the chocolates also. But reserve the tix for another person that can use them more than me. I avoid driving out that way due to the maniacs on the turnpike. Although the event sounds like a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

I would not be able to attend the event, but I would share the chocolates with my teenage daughter who works so hard at school and at work washing dishes at a restaurant every night.

I would share the chocolates with everyone who came into my house, and with my daughter, bit by bit. Although she can’t eat orally, she does enjoy tasting chocolate. What a pleasure!

would love the chocolate!

Yummy CHOCOLATE!

for chocolate I would gladly take the train into the city

I just want to see if they have any REAL GOOD SUGAR FREE Chocolates, being at stage 2 I would kill to just be able to eat some chocolates

Alas, my calendar is full for this time frame. But my mouth is always craving chocolate!

I love free chocolate!

MMMMMMMMMM! Chocolate!

I’m WAY too far away for the show, but the chocolate box would be great. Share? I’d have to share? (Just kidding! Don’t tell my Jenny Craig ocunselor I said that!) I would, of course, share with my husband AND kids.

I would share the Edible Chocolate Box with my kids

Charles is a Bay Area treasure. All the more so for his willingness to share himself and his product with us this weekend. Count me in for the chocolate box. I get the most joy sharing it with neophytes, awakening their taste buds to what chocolate is.

Please include me

My roomate & I both recently move from Los Angeles to NYC, neither one of us have had a date in eons. So going out to a chocolate show would greatly ease a basic human need. It would be a sorely needed & great fun outing for the both of us. Mmmm, chocolate.

Although I would love to attend the Chocolate Show in NYC, I can’t because I live in Eugene, Oregon. However, my daughter, Rachel turns sweet sixteen today and nothing says sweet like an Edible Chocolate Box! I won’t even make her share it with me.

I love chocolate!

The drawing has ended, we will announce the winners once confirmed.

Thanks for joining in!

As the winner of this contest (see post #44), I just wanted to thank Chuck and Clay for being such great tour guides today. We learned so much about all things chocolate and are so very full. Baby has been kicking like crazy all day. I think she wants more chocolate...
