No, it’s not yet Valentine’s Day. 🙂 From the makers of long-time loved global brands of chocolates such as M&M’s and Mars comes Dove Chocolates.

Dove Chocolate comes to the Philippines at an opportune time of Christmas fit as gifts of love and care. It also comes in four chocolate variants:

• Dove® Milk Chocolate (43g)
• Dove® Dark Chocolate (43g)
• Dove® Milk Chocolate with Hazelnut, Almond & Raisin (43g)
• Dove® Chocolate with Crispy Rice (4og)

The plain milk chocolate has the silkiest chocolate among the four. It’s the best seller as well.

The dark chocolate is for those with a little more sophisticated taste which prefers their chocolates dark, like I do. (LOL)  🙂

The other milk chocolate with hazelnut, almond, and raisin comes next to my heart as I love good texture in what I eat.

The last one with crispy rice is a tricky choice as you must make sure you are getting new chocolates. I love rice crispies as well, though. 🙂

Me-Time Moment

Dove Chocolates

My me-time moment is quite simple. It is my habit to eat snacks while browsing sites in front of my netbook in the comforts of my home. So undeniably, my me-time moment is having Dove dark chocolate while surfing my favorite food blogs, travel blogs, and technology blogs. 🙂

All the four silky smooth Dove chocolate variants are now available for P45 at all local supermarkets and convenience stores in the metro.
