Swiss Original Chocolat Frey Inspires Everyday Indulgence- $50 Giveaway

This is a Fashionista Event and a promotional item was provided to me by Chocolat Frey. Hosts for this event are Still Blonde after all these Years and ModlyChic.

Momma Told Me: A whole other category.

I'm not a chocolate snob. Much like someone who has an appreciation for fashionable shoes, a fine label makes a compliment but the design is what makes the initial impact. To be fair, up until a few years ago, I considered all chocolate to be equal. Sure I knew there were more bitter chocolates, and some even had nuts or fillings in them, but chocolate bright me such joy I never dared question if chocolate could get better. It was only after my first chocolate tasting (yes people sample chocolates just like wine, and it IS as amazing as it sounds) that I began to value the finer properties of my recreational confections.

You see, there's chocolate, and then there's Chocolat- Chocolate Frey®. Us Americans have been in the dark for years, deprived of this indulgent brand and it's 100% Swiss traditional chocolates. With over 100 years of experience leading the industry in Switzerland Chocolat Frey prides itself in curating premium bean to bar chocolate that is expertly crafted in the country itself. And, while Swiss chocolates might demand a premium and a raised pinky here state-side, Chocolat Frey is considered so popular, it's the standard of normal chocolate quality back at home. Which is why I am particularly excited to announce that you can now enjoy the very same quality confections at U.S. retailers, look for these great new products coming to a store near you!

Chocolat Frey comes in many forms from premium Crunch Nut bars to shareable Chocobloc breakable mini and full bars and even seasonal hollow Chocolat Frey bunnies. If you're looking to add a touch of refinement to your Spring celebration look no further than the Chocolat Frey Chocobloc individually wrapped mini bars in varieties such as White, Orange, Dark, and Milk. These are much more than Swiss chocolates in pretty shiny wrappers- The Chocobloc Milk has a deliciously tempting honey almond center for a satisfying crunch that elevates this melt-in-your mouth chocolate beyond expectations.

I'll be sharing these with luncheon guests nestled in the hands of playful sugar cookie bunnies- a treat for now, and a treat for later. You can easily make these sugar cookie cuties yourself with a standard cutout sugar cookie dough, a large sheet of parchment paper cut into 1"x 8" strips, some spare foil, and a bunny cookie cutter. If you can find a bunny cookie cutter with arms already built in, great, otherwise you can easily cut some into the standard bunny shape, as shown above.

Set your bunny cookie cut-outs on a parchment lined cookie sheet with a strip of parchment paper running horizontally behind the bunny's 'shoulders.' Prepare some foil into 1.5" loosely rolled strips about the general width and frame of your individual Chocolat Frey bars. Place the foil spacer in the middle of your raw bunny dough and gently criss-cross the paper, tucking it loosely behind the arms on either side. The general idea is to prop the arms up enough to bake into place to hold your bars for presentation.

If your idea of impressive entertaining is the 'wow' factor with minimal effort then you'll want to have an entire centerpiece of Chocolat Frey bunnies on hand. Available in 6oz and 1.9oz these hollow bunnies are made of premium Swiss milk chocolate and packaged in 1 of 3 gorgeously vibrant hard foil clam-shell packages. The names, Sunny, Funny, and Lucky accompany each color and make them even harder to bite into, being so adorable. So don't.

And yes, I realize I just may be a genius, I am suggesting you continue to elevate your celebration with a Chocolat Bunny Cordial. With a properly chilled hollow bunny you can easily saw off a clean corner to pour a brunch cocktail, or even chocolate milk, in. This is a serving method that is sure to impress, and who doesn't want to eat their cup when it's a smooth Swiss Chocolat Frey bunny? The very idea has me feeling like a kid again, and these aren't your grandmothers corner store Thumpers. Chocolat Frey holds up beautifully to cordial presentation- but you're welcome to serve them over a tray on ice if you wish.

Of course as indulgent as authentic Swiss chocolates sound, and as delicious as they are, Chocolat Frey wants their confections to bring joy all over the world. So you'll find them at an affordable price point when you happen across them in stores. Their beautiful packaging, full of rich Swiss heritage and pride, is bound to impress guests and recipients, so don't be stingy- share the Chocolat love. I paired a few of my favorite Chocolat Frey selections (Chocoblac Dark, Chocolat Frey Crunchy Nut Bar- Blonde, Chocolat Frey Bunnies and their Finest Assorted Pralines) with a plush rabbit and an adult coloring book for an instant gift basket I'm planning on brightening a neighbor's day with.

However you choose to enjoy your Chocolat Frey do so with the confidence that this chocolate connoisseur whole-heartedly (whole-gastrointestinally?) approves. It's clear these confections are a step above department store standards with their rich and flavorful Swiss traditional base and elevated nut companions. I especially enjoy how their chocolates begin to melt the second they hit my tongue for a textural experience that is truly satisfying.
