I was recently contacted by Merci Chocolates to see if I would be interested in reviewing a box of their chocolates. We all know what the answer to that was, yes?
Each box of Merci (which means “thank you” in French) includes a selection of rich, European chocolates made from premium ingredients. The 7 different chocolates are smooth and creamy and though each bar is no bigger than your finger, it’s the perfect, decadent little treat that just hits the spot when you get a chocolate craving.

The 7 varieties include Milk Chocolate, Coffee and Cream, Hazelnut-Almond, Hazelnut-Creme, Dark Cream, Dark Mousse, and Praline-Creme. There are at least two bars of each, and my favorite of the bunch was the Dark Mousse — talk about a treat!

The affordable 9 ounce box is the perfect size for a meaningful gift, whether it’s for a holiday hostess gift, a teacher’s gift, or just a general thank you, your recipient will be very grateful! You can use the handy store location page here to find out where you can get Merci Chocolates in your area.
I was asked to share who I would give a meaningful thank you to this year, and I didn’t have to give it any thought — that thank you would go to my husband Mike. My reasons border on schmoopy (as they should), but since I don’t do schmoopy I will spare you. But he is schmoop-worthy

So on that note, and in the spirit of the season, Merci has provided me with one box to give away to one Heather’s Bytes reader!
