Sugar Savvy

One of my favorite parts of writing the See’s Candies Piece-by-Piece in The Chocolate Box is the trivia section.  Each week I feature a fact, tidbit, nugget or even a recipe involving See’s Candies.  So, this week’s post (the penultimate in the See’s Piece-by-Piece series) is a See’s Trivia Contest.  The winner will receive a $25 See’s Candies gift certificate, usable in See’s Candies’ stores or online, from the Well Fed Network.

So test your memory, search the Sugar Savvy site, or go through The Chocolate Box archives and see what your See’s Candies’ Devotion Quotient is.  Please send an email with your answers (number one to 10) with a contact name and email address.  We’ll do a random drawing from all those who have the correct answers (or the most correct if no one gets them all).  Send your email to info@wellfed.net by January 31 at 12pm EST.  Put See’s Contest in the subject line.
