Hopefully you've read all the information in my posts above (including all the plaques :) and have just learned a lot about everything to do with chocolate - we certainly did!! So now we would like to do a little something for you, our readers. We're so thankful for each of you and we hope you'll all participate. So now onto what the giveaway is for...
Two different packages of chocolate that we got at the Chocolate Factory and Museum of Cologne, Germany. Let me tell you, it is DELICIOUS (we got some for ourselves as well :). It's healthy too - right?! Did you notice I said two packages? That's right - there will be two different winners!!!
The first winner will receive this package of chocolates!!!
Does this look familiar? These are the little chocolates that were wrapped by the wrapping machine in the post below!!
The second winner will receive this delightful package of chocolates!!!
Okay, now onto the details...

We decided to keep it simple. :) If you're new or haven't commented before and want to tell us a little about yourself we love getting to "know" our readers, but it is NOT mandatory. :) People without blog or google accounts are welcome to enter too.

Wow...wow!
What a fun surprise, Savannah! How very generous of you all to have this giveaway!
I'd be delighted to enter :-) Thank you so much!!
{p.s. Thank you so much for your lovely letter, Savannah. It was such a joy to hear from you, and I look forward to reply in the near future, Lord willing!}
Here is a great fact about dark chocolate... It is high in flavonoids and antioxidants which makes it a great choice for those who are diabetic - in moderation of course.
Mmm... I love German chocolate. My Uncle and (Japanese) Aunt are missionaries to Germany, and when they come they'll sometimes bring German chocolate (Rittersport).

Oh goodness, I love Lindt chocolate! What a special treat for y'all to go there! We visited Hershey Park and Chocolate World about 9 years ago, that was fun :) except it was freezing when we went!
Ok, I would love to win some chocolate. Great idea! Thanks for doing this!
P.S. Hope everyone is doing well!

I just jumped on this little black box to check all my blogs that I follow (only a few!lol)and of course yours is the first on my list! I have so enjoyed getting "re-connected" with you and what the family has been up to!!
I had an inkling that your surprise was going to be a give-away....but a CHOCOLATE give-away?!?!?!
Well....I'm off to read your latest post ;-)

Savannah,
The McKinnon family would like to enter the drawing! Lindt is one of our favorites! We enjoyed touring the Lindt factory a few years ago ourselves.
Mrs. McKinnon and the whole crew!
mmmm european chocolate is so wonderful. What I remember most from my tour there was the milch brot mit buter (delicious white bread with german butter) I must have eaten pounds of it!
Hey Savannah!
I just got a chance to come check your blog today... and boy!!! Ya'll have been having lots of adventures and getting to eat scrumptious looking foods!!!
I was going to comment above .... but.... who can resist chocolate?! So I thought I'd comment here .. just incase.... ;) I don't know if I've ever had Lindt chocolate... but perhaps, because our neighbor is German and he ALWAYS brings our family chocolate from Germany when he visits. :)
That was SO cool ya'll got to go see how the factory works!!!!! We've always wanted to go to the Hershey factory in Pennsylvania, I'm guessing all chocolate factories are similar...... :)
Well, I'll check back again!! (You are doing an amazing job at posting... I can't keep up!!)
Love you!
