Bake Up Some Love Valentine’s Day Giveaway

by Anna on February 1, 2011 · 97 comments

UPDATE: Congratulation to Michelle at Dreaming of White Chocolate. Her number was drawn for the giveaway.

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and Nestle Toll House wants to help you “bake up some love” with their new Valentine Friends cookies.

You may have spotted these at the grocery store already. The sugar cookie dough features full-color characters like monkeys, bumble bees, bunnies, dogs and teddy bears on heart-shaped cookies with cute Valentine sayings like “U Rock,” “Bee Mine,” “Some Bunny Loves You,” “You Quack Me Up” and “Happy Valentine’s Day”.

Toll House has given me a cookie tin, some stickers, and some free coupons for Valentine’s cookies to pass on to one reader. Because the cookies are seasonal, this is going to be a quick turn-around giveaway. Deadline is 11:00 CST AM Wednesday Feb. 2 (tomorrow!), which in a way is good because it gives you better odds. Good luck!

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment saying how you plan on celebrating Valentine’s Day. I will pick one comment at random.

If you’re planning on “baking up some love” and haven’t figured out what, check out the Toll House Valentine’s Day Baking Collection.

And don’t forget to grab a Nestle Toll House Valentine Friend Cookies coupon AND some coloring pages (everyone likes to color, right?).

Cheryl February 1, 2011 at 3:44 pm: I LOVE Valentines Day at our home. We set out the nice china for dinner and have a special dinner. We top the night off with a beautiful homemade Red Velvet Cake! YUM!
irysheyes February 1, 2011 at 4:16 pm: We are going to a Mexican restaurant and be serenaded by some strolling guitarists and singers! How romantic!
suzanne February 1, 2011 at 5:05 pm: Since it is on a Monday, I think we will opt for a nice dinner at home. Every year I make a cheesecake for my husband- it is his absolute favorite dessert.
Shannon February 1, 2011 at 5:29 pm: Hubby may have to work Monday night (he’s a chef). In that case, we’ll celebrate Sunday: he makes dinner and I make dessert
C L February 1, 2011 at 5:36 pm: I will be fixing up a couple of 6-qt CrockPots full of chili and a mess of cornbread and a batch of jumbo cookies and send it all to work with my sweetheart husband. And for my husband I’ll be fixing his favorite supper of meatloaf and baked potatoes and salad.

Jan February 1, 2011 at 6:31 pm: My only plan is working that day; where I feel the love…NOT!

Jen February 2, 2011 at 4:50 am: my husband & I are often go-go-go on the weekends, so I think the best Valentine’s Day weekend plans would be to stay in, watch movies, get some take out and bake some goodies. I think we will plan to go out for a nice dinner the following weekend (when hopefully the restaurants are a little less busy!)
CaSaundra February 2, 2011 at 7:50 am: All my single girlfriends and I are going out for pizza and then to a movie!
Yosha February 2, 2011 at 7:53 am: VDay is hard when you are single! A bit harder this year since one of my friends in a long term relationship just broke up, in a bad break up to boot! So I have lots of baking planned leading up to the day and keeping her active on the actual day! I’ve never bought store cookie dough but these are totally tempting me!
Tory February 2, 2011 at 8:32 am: My daughter and I will have a baking day before and well spend the valentines day night at home as a family and likely exchange cards!
Mary Lynn M. February 2, 2011 at 8:48 am: Restaurants are so busy that night so my Husband and I always stay at home and HE cooks Valentine’s Day dinner.

Mary February 2, 2011 at 10:13 am: I bake cookies every week for a local Ronald McDonald House, and I am having fun planning out what cookies to bake up! I’m sure a few heart shaped cookies will appear, and cupcakes with lots of sprinkles and cute heart rings on them are always a hit. My wedding annversary is the 9th, so my husband and I usually combine the two together, so that leaves me free to enjoy sharing treats with the wonderful people at the RMH on V Day. Love it!
Jancd February 2, 2011 at 10:17 am: I plan on keeping my 3 grandchildren and letting my daughter and husband have a night out.
