Lily O’Brien’s Amazing Chocolate Hamper Giveaway

amomentwithfranca · 19 October 2016 · 216 Comments

Last year I was very lucky to be invited to a fantastic Chocolate and Wine tasting event organised by Lily O’Brien’s, the luxury Irish chocolatier. It was a great event and it happened to be the first proper event I attended as a blogger. Who would have thought that this event would be the first of so many new opportunities? I feel so grateful for that! This year, I feel even luckier as the lovely people at Lily O’Brien’s sent me a huge hamper to sample and share with my family and friends. They were also very kind to offer the chance for one of my lovely readers to win the same amazing hamper! How fantastic is that? You can find out more about this GIVEAWAY at the bottom of the post.

 

Lily O'Brien's Amazing Chocolate Hamper Giveaway

Last week, Lily O’Brien’s launched their new range of premium chocolates at a similar event to the one I attended last year, giving opportunity for lovers of chocolate and wine to learn more about pairing them both. If you would like to know more about this, please read my post from last year that has listed all the different chocolates and wines that you can combine together. It was interesting to learn about that!

HAMPER

It was a huge and amazing hamper that I was of course, very excited to receive. As soon as my girls saw the big box they were all over it! “No Please! Don’t eat yet”, I told them, “I need to take photos first!”. This is the life of a family blogger, LOL! 😉

The amazing hamper contained the following delicious chocolates:
