Congratulations to Jenny Lee who won my last giveaway. And good news! Here’s another chance to win some fine quality chocolate. This time, from Pennsylvania’s family-run chocolate company Sarris Candies.
As the story goes, Frank Sarris was in love with Athena and gave her some chocolate. She was so happy that Frank wanted to keep her that way and decided he could make chocolate that was even better. From that point on, he began making chocolate in the basement for family and friends. Word spread and he found a local market. Pretty soon, Frank and Athena were married and Sarris Candies was born. By 1963, they outgrew the basement, the business kept growing, and family members pitched in to build a business that is now a Canonsburg, PA landmark. The Sarris Chocolate Factory and Ice Cream Parlour fill the area the size of a football field with chocolate, penny candy, ice cream and plush toys.
Their on-line presence is growing as well, with a fun-to-browse mail-order site and Sarris Candy Recipe page with recipes from Candace Sarris, who loves to bake.
After reading Yelp reviews and doing a little research on Sarris, I’m kind of sad I didn’t pick any up while I was in PA. However, I did get a chance to host this giveaway and am happy to say Sarris is offering a lucky reader
– a 1 pound deluxe assortment AND
– 8 oz of milk chocolate pretzels
For a chance at the giveaway, visit the Sarris Candies web page, then come back and tell me one thing you would like to receive as a gift (no need to add a link to it).
Me, I would like my own personal chocolate fountain. I had no idea you could buy small ones and I think that would really impress people who came over for dinner.
The deadline for this giveaway is this Friday (Dec. 17th) at midnight.

I would purchase a box of dark chocolate truffles. They are true godliness.
There is nothing I love more than solid milk chocolate, so I personally would love any of their novelties, most of which seem to be just good ol’ shaped milk chocolate that I would be so tempted to sink my teeth into! NOM!!
All of their stuff looks wonderful. I’d never heard of these candies until I read your page. But looking through their catalog, I’d love anything off their sugar-free page!!
I would want a custom box of chocolates but I would have to get my mom the Crocs!
I had Sarris chocolates several years ago on a trip to Pittsburgh. It was delicious! I am torn between the chocolate covered pretzels and the peanut butter meltaways. Actually, I can make my own chocolate covered pretzels, so I’d choose the meltaways.
A box full of dark chocolates. MMM!
I think the S’mores look fabulous! The custom box would be fun too–that way I could try a little bit of everything!
That cashew glaze brittle is making my mouth water!
2pounds of white chocolate covered pretzels YUM
The pretzel triple chocolate crunch ice cream sounds yummy!
It’s a toss-up between the Butter Almond Toffee and the Pecanettes.
Can I agree with you? ‘Cause I TOTALLY would love a chocolate fountain!!
The grilling fondue sounds fun and very appropriate for Texas.
i would love a tin of roasted nuts. any of the ones on the page would do! they look delicious.

I like the look of the all dark assortment.
The cashew christmas tin!
I would to create my own custom box!
Their signature box assortment sound like a wonderful chocolate combination!!
The chocolate fountain with dark chocolate- without a shadow of a doubt!
I love Sarris! I live pretty close and their chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite. They used to have this sundae that had around 12 scoops of ice cream, and my parents took us all to split 2 of these sundaes. I think I would want to try their baking chocolate since I’ve had most of the other chocolates.
A box of caramels, no question!
I’d love the dark chocolates!
a box of carmels for sure.
I would love the fruit and nut assortment.
I live in central PA, very close to Hershey. I used to live in Pittsburgh, which is very close the home town of Sarris. I NEVER passed up an opportunity to order from kids doing fundraisers. I LOVE their chocolate covered pretzels, especially dipping them into ice cream. Yum.
Sarris makes the best peanut butter meltaways…so creamy and they really do melt in your mouth!
I would definitely go for the all dark assortment. mmm…
box of all dark chocolates, 2 lbs., yum
Peanut-butter meltaways all the way!
i think i would go for the dunked popcorn, looks yummy
i’m with those who’d go for the dark chocolate assortment. it’d be in my tummy in less than a day.
The Deep Dark Chocolate Cheesecake for sure!
The Cappucino Meltaways are at the top of my very long list.
Oh my gosh, I about died when I saw those adorable little Crocs & flip flops!! So stinkin’ cute! Probably too cute to eat, though.
So…if I had to pick, I’d go with the VIP 2 1/2 ft. long tray of assorted chocolates. Would probably be my breakfast, lunch & dinner the day I got it. Or maybe just a mid-afternoon snack; I can PUT AWAY some serious chocolate, yo!
Ohhh, so many choices, all yummy! But, since ’tis the season, how about Christmas oreos???
Well, one of each! But if I really had to choose, I would just love the Executive 3lb assortment. I can eat my weight in chocoloate. Bring it on!!
We love the Dark Chocolate Covered Pretzels. Sarris is our home town favorite.
Chocolate covered pretzels for sure!!
Either a custom box of mixed dark chocolates or the chocolate covered pretzels – YUMMMMY!!!!
3-lb Executive Deluxe Assortment, of course! Then I’d have to have a party to share it. YUM!
Caramels!!!
I would love the ‘For your Health Dark Chocolate’ YUM!
I think I would love to receive the sugar free assortment of candies so I can share them with my diabetic sister and father! I always feel guilty when I bake because I can’t tell them about it with feeling like I’m rubbing it in their face!
Anything in the catalog would float my boat! Chocolate covered pretzels would be great.
PB meltaways are a classic, but I’m really intrigued by PB&J meltaways.
I’d want the All Dark Assortment
I’m all about the dark chocolate pretzels. YUM!
I have to agree with you there… the chocolate fountain would be awesome for sure.
I would love to receive the Sarris Candies Almond Butter Toffee as a wonderful gift! Thank you and Merry Christmas.
