Giveaway Time! Simply Caramel Relax and Enjoy!

Nothing says relaxation like a 90 degree summer day with 99% humidity and a sick kid. Hopefully you all are having a better August than I am! But if not, here's something to cheer you up: a giveaway you're going to love. Two Yumsters will be chosen to receive a "Simply Caramel Relax and Enjoy" gift pack from Milky Way that includes:
  • A $75 gift certificate to SpaFinder.com for a yoga class or massage
  • Enough Simply Caramel Bars to indulge in for a month (5)

(Yes, I know what you're thinking... you could eat 5 candy bars in a day, right?)

As I may have mentioned in the past, I still haven't tried the Milky Way Simply Caramel because No-Nuts made a midnight snack out of the one I had, but it's described as a Milky Way without the nougat. So here's what you have to do: leave a comment here saying why you love caramel. Two lucky caramelophiles will be chosen on Wednesday, August 18 at high noon Eastern time. Be sure to leave a way for me to get in touch with you and U.S. residents only, please.

Good luck!

    I love that feeling of caramel covered sticky fingers and just licking them clean - it's that sweet buttery melt in your mouth taste that lingers long after... fingers crossed I win and if I do - you can contact me at pinklovealways@hotmail.com

    I have good memories of my mom bring home candy and she always gave me the caramel ones. She knew they were my favorites.I've just always enjoyed caramel.The other day my youngest son pointed out the caramel Milky Way bars and asked if we could share one. I bought two. We went home and even though we had two, we still shared one. That made it so much more sweet and wonderful. I will be sharing the other one with my hubby. :D Maybe...

  5. Tragically, when I was a child, I was burdened with a smile that made jack-o-lanterns cringe. Braces were brutally affixed to every tooth thus inhibiting me from the gooey sticky sweet deliciousness we all know as caramel. So you ask why I love caramel... well, Caramel is a flavor of freedom! The shackles that once bound me from indulging have been lifted and I may now make up for last time!

    I love the smooth texture and creamy goodness of a fresh piece of caramel. I can eat it by itself or in a yummy piece of chocolate, over ice cream or with fruit. It is particulary good caramel when you've taken a bite and you pull the rest away from your mouth and you see how far the string of the caramel can go before it breaks. Mmmmmm!

  47. I love caramel because it can compliment just about anything.

    The darker roast can help offset an otherwise too sweet white chocolate; or a lighter caramel can add enough sweetness to contrast a bitter semi-sweet or dark.

    Caramel also stands incredibly well on it's own. I'm not sure if you're familiar with Jeni's ice cream from Columbus, but I just paid $10 for a pint of their salted caramel ice cream the other day...that's how much I love it.

    Caramel is my favorite "friend of chocolate". I like the runny caramel, the really thick caramel, the in-between caramel. My favorite special candy bar to get as a kid was a Caramello. I would eat the border off of each square, take the bottom piece out and then lick the caramel out of the inside. I'm a bit of a fanatic!

Caramel with chocolate, caramel with apples, caramel on and in ice cream, anything caramel I would eat! Maybe even caramel on bugs-who knows?!
    I even made homemade caramel in a pan. Boy was that good! The sweet buttery taste. You can't beat it!
