Let Graeter’s Help You Celebrate

By

{Giveaway Closed: Congrats to FFC reader, Sarah N.}

Our friends at Graeter’s want to help you make Valentine’s Day and Fat Tuesday extra SWEET this year with treats from their stores.

While we all know Graeter’s for its delicious ice cream, Graeter’s has been hand-making chocolates and confections for more than 140 years. All of their candies are made in small batches, with the same care and attention they give their ice cream.

    My granddaughter Marly and I are big fans of white chocolate but the dark chocolate is so much better for us! I already subscribe to the FFC newsletter and get great vacation ideas from it!

    Milk Chocolate for me, but I also like Dark Chocolate. White Chocolate… not.

    Who in Cincinnati is not a fan of Graeter’s on Facebook. You haven’t lived until you have had black raspberry chocolate chip ice cream. Sweet & bitter combo is delicious too!

    Oh that is an easy one. Dark Chocolate, especially pretzels dipped in it. Nothing like the salty, bitter sweet combo. Yummy!
