Dove Chocolate Discoveries | Review and Giveaway
November 16, 2009 by admin - Jennifer
Filed under Giveaways
DOVE Chocolate Discoveries launched in February 2007 and is headquartered in New Jersey. Our products are sold exclusively through independent contractors called “Chocolatiers”.
DOVE Chocolate Discoveries is one of the latest ventures from Mars, Incorporated. A global leader, Mars was founded in 1911 and manufactures and markets iconic brands including the original DOVE®, M&M’S®, SNICKERS®, 3 MUSKETEERS® and MILKY WAY®. Mars is a family-owned business with global annual sales of more than $21 billion.
The Chocolatier that I have been working with, Nicole Cowan, has been great. Not only did she send me the samples I will be introducing to you below but she has offered an exciting giveaway for my readers, just in time for the holidays! Take a look below, maybe you will find something for someone on your list.
Chocolate-Covered Cashews and Almonds
You and your friends will go nuts for these! Salted cashews are wrapped in milk chocolate and paired with dark chocolate-covered almonds. Blend is 75% cashews/25% almonds. Try with our Cranberry Blend for added variety. 16 oz. $20.00
My husband and tween ran off with these and devoured them, but luckily I got my hands on a few and I loved them. The chocolate just melts in your mouth and the nuts are crunchy. Very good combination!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Chocolate Chip Gingerbread Mix (makes 24 Cookies), Truffle Fudge Brownie Mix (makes 20 Brownies), Spatulas. Great desserts for the dessert-makers on your list. Two sizes of chef-grade spatulas, a clever chocolate-chipped gingerbread mix for cookies or cake. An indulgent take on brownies. Everyone’s happy. $35.00
I have only made the brownies so far, saving the Gingerbread mix for Thanksgiving, but if it tastes anything like the brownies did it will knock my socks off too! I got a lot of compliments on the brownies. Two people asked me what brand and when I told them Dove they were shocked and like me didn’t know that Dove had mixes like this.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*NEW*
Dark Chocolate-Covered Fruit Collection
It starts with cranberries, a whole new fruit when chocolate is around. Then it’s the surprise of blueberries and at that final cherry moment you become a convert forever. Fruits are individually packed. 18 oz. (3 x 6 0z. bags) $20.00
My favorite fruit, cherries, are in here and they are delicious. The cranberries are great too but when it came time to try the blueberry I was hesitant, as I have never heard of chocolate covered blueberries. Well I would like to say “Great mix” to the person who made that combo. It was surprisingly good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*NEW*
Sea-Salted Caramel Collection
Salt? On Chocolate?! Wrapped around chewy, buttery caramel, DCD milk and dark chocolate are accented with exotic sea salts link Pink Himalayan and Bolivian Rose. These enhance all the flavors. One bite and you will believe. 24 pieces $30.00
Very interesting combo indeed, both my husband and I were shocked with how good this tasted. So sweet and chewy with a kick of salt. Loved these caramels! I hid these from the kids because they are my favorites by far!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*NEW*
Milk Chocolate-Covered Cappuccino Biscottini
We won’t ask you to spell it, but you must taste the creamy milk chocolate introduction that crunches into a subtle coffee-tasting biscotti morsel of deliciousness that should be kept under lock and key. 16 oz. (2 x 8 oz. bags) $20.00
These tasty little things are perfect in the morning. I have been known to have a few with my coffee. My husband thought I was nuts until he tried it and now he is a fan.
I have always liked chocolate, and more specifically, Dove chocolate. The tastiness of these products didn’t surprise me in the fact that their chocolate is always great, just with some of the things they chose to mix with the chocolate. And they are all very tasty indeed. I am now an even bigger fan of Dove than I was before. Thanks to Chocolatier Nicole Cowan for a wonderful tasting of Dove products. If you are looking for chocolaty Christmas gifts for people on your list please check out Nicole’s website and fall in love with what she and Dove have to offer.
She has also kindly donated three Holiday Bundles of Dove deliciousness for me to giveaway to 3 lucky Dirty Shirt readers. Please see rules below to enter to win today!
Holiday Bundles include: Dark Sipping Chocolate, Chocolate Martini Mix, Truffle Fudge Brownie Mix

Ohhh the double chocolate truffel fondue looks good but I really like those sea salt carmels!

I like the Cocoa Powder & Shaker. That way I can shake on cocoa powder on top of Splenda made cakes, instead of Frosting them, since my husband was just diagnosed as prediabetic. Granted we will still have to watch portion control and not have cake as often, but still all in all Cocoa and chocolate are a girls best friend. Okay, not all women and girls, but I like chocolate tons.
I already subscribe via email. Good luck to all.
The baker’s bundle looks awesome!
