The Scharffen Berger Chocolate Adventure Contest

ChocolateAdventure

Oh my gosh. I am so excited about this. The Scharffen Berger Chocolate Adventure Contest launched this week. And the theme is sandwich cookies. Think s’mores, whoopie pies, ice cream sandwiches, macarons and more.

Are you up for the adventure? I hope so because Scharffen Berger Chocolate Maker [1] and TuttiFoodie.com [2] invite you to enter the fabulous, 6th annual Chocolate Adventure Contest. So go ahead … invent, create, and explore the boundaries of your own culinary imagination. This year the contest accepts entries in one category — Sandwich Cookies — for the chance to win a $25,000 grand prize.

Yes. Twenty. Five. Thousand. Dollars! Oh my.

Plus… Ten honoree winners will receive an engraved iPad.

Pretty sweet prizes!

The contest period is October 1 – January 2, 2013 which is great because that’s plenty of time to come up with some amazing and hopefully prize-worthy recipes. Yes, recipes plural.

Each contestant can enter up to 10 recipes. That means more chances to win.

So start baking. I can’t way to see your creative twists on the sandwich cookie.

And I can’t wait to taste them, too…because I am one of the judges again this year along with John Scharffen Berger, Top Chef Elizabeth Falkner, Matt Armendariz (Matt Bites) and renowned and author Alice Medrich. Here’s a look at the last time I judged [5] – so much fun.

It’s going to be a tough and tasty job.

You can submit your recipes and view the complete contest details at www.chocolateadventurecontest.com [6].
