Next Tuesday: FREE TCHO Beta Bars

March 7th
2008

Hello Blake Makers and Sooper Heroes. We lost a day this week, so we’re jumping right back into the next giveaway which will take place next Tuesday, March 11 at 8:30PM CST. - 8:30PM CST because we’re getting a lot of West-coasters now who need a little more time to get home from work

This will be a good old-fashioned FIRST COME FIRST SERVED (FCFS) GIVEAWAY - which means the first X (number of) commenters on next Tuesday’s post win. What are we giving away? TCHO beta bars.

There’s a bit of a story here. I first discovered TCHO via Springwise. Springwise is my go-to source for the coolest, most amazing new ideas. They’ve always got amazing stuff that’s right up my alley.

TCHO was no exception.

I was attracted to TCHO on aesthetics alone. Their brown paper packaging is so my speed, and their site is just the kind of minimalist design that sends me swooning.

I probably would have inquired (bought) just about anything they were selling inside these mod little sleeves, but wait, there’s chocolate inside? Done and done!

They sent me some of their beta bars (batches that are still in testing) for a taste and a try.

BEFORE WE GO ANY FURTHER, GO READ ABOUT WHAT TCHO IS.

Almost everything you’ll read that TCHO is, I am (basically a geeky chocolate lover).

The batch I got was labeled, “Chocolatey,” and boy was it. I’m assuming the TCHO we give away will be from the same batch (If I hear otherwise, I’ll let you know).

Now for the taste:

When they say dark chocolate, they mean it. But they should also have no problems backing up their claims as being some of the purest chocolate around.

The bars were ebony-brown, and release a sound (((SNAP!))) when you bite them. The flavor is intense, very deep, very dark (chocolate). I won’t say it’s bitter, but it takes you right to the edge.

I like dark chocolate, but Bridget loves it. Needless to say, Bridget loved the TCHO chocolate. I recommend eating it with a tall glass of ice-cold milk.

Heard enough? Want some free TCHO?

Come to Blake Makes next Tuesday, March 11 at 8:30PM CST. We’ll be giving away TCHO for free.

They’ve generously given us enough to do a proper FCFS giveaway. It should be fun. The best part is that they’re interested in giving more (and different) TCHO away on Blake Makes in the coming months.

It’s a great way for them to get feedback (and exposure) on new batches. It’s perfect for us too, because we love free food, we love our Sooper Heroes, and we love chocolate!

Tell your friends. Blog about it. Tell everyone you know.

Let’s blow TCHO away (so we can get more)!

Bridget’s up next with another yummy food post. Stay tuned! Have a happy Friday!

  • As you know, anything chocolate gets my attention. However, I’ll pass this week since I was one of the winners of this past week’s Sucre contest. I can’t wait to report back with my tasting review. Good luck to everyone else who signs up.
