Bloggy Giveaway #1

It's that time of year again folks! The leaves are falling (fallen), the air is turning nippy, and the mountains are putting on their snowy tops.

And bloggers everywhere are giving things away for free. How awesome is that?
(See the full list of Bloggy Giveaways.)

I've been a bit pressed for time this go around, so I'm scrambling to find things to give away. (I know this thing happens every three months and that should theoretically give me three months to get ready, but I could swear the last one just got finished. Didn't it? No? Crap.)

On to the giveaway! I was trolling the granola, breakfast bar aisle at my local store the other day and came to an abrupt halt. Seems Chex has put out a new line of bars. The one that had me drooling was the caramel, turtleish one. I was almost afraid to pull the box down and look at the nutrition (seriously, those things sometimes pack in the same calories as a giant milkshake and then the others manage to pack a ton of blech into 100 calories). These have 150 calories per bar. That's a pretty respectable calorie count (3pts for WW, I do believe) for a snack bar. Ah, but with that kind of calorie count, I figured they were either of the cardboard variety or just enough to whet your appetite and leave you in a serious hunt for the real sweet. So I passed on them.

And then my contact sent me an offer I couldn't refuse. (Sounds so mysterious and important, doesn't it? Much better than saying the weird nice lady on the other end of the computer sent me a sample.) Not only would I get a free box of the very flavor I had been drooling over in the store, but she'd throw in a mini spa kit to sweeten the deal:



Long story short (too late, right?) - these things are pretty damn tasty. I've been taking them to work to get me through that long noshy period between lunch and when-the-hell-are-they-going-to-let-me-go-home. The caramel is sweet and you get all that fantastic crunch stuff that comes with the Chex mix bags (without the temptation of just eating the whole thing, damn the "serving size" nonsense).

Want one? I've got three baskets to give away. Just comment on this post (if you feel like it, tell me what snack or trick you use to get through those noshy times). I'll close the comments at 5pm on Sunday, Nov 2nd and notify the winners.

Rules:
1) Must be a US Resident for this one, sorry folks! I'll work on something that's open to the international Bloggy Giveaway community for the next ones.
2) Must leave a way for me to contact you (valid email address, link to a profile with an address, or link to a blog) and be willing to provide mailing address
3) Must stand on one foot facing away from the computer before hitting submit (just kidding - nobody hurt themselves trying that one)

And, go!
