Celebrating Summer With Melissa’s Produce + Giveaway

Posted on by
Melissa's Produce Strawberries and Chocolate Basket

It finally feels like summer! The May Gray and June Gloom is finally gone; the sun is out and we finally have some nice weather in the 70s! If it stays sunny and 75 all summer, I will not complain about that.

To celebrate that summer is here and it’s almost the 4th of July, I’ve partnered with Melissa’s Produce for a fun summertime giveaway of this beautiful Strawberries and Chocolate Basket that’s perfect for any summer gathering to enjoy with friends and family! Or if you just want to enjoy by yourself. 😉 I won’t tell if you don’t want to share! So head on over to my instagram post at the bottom of the post here to enter!

It will seem like strawberry fields forever with this basket, as the fruit is endless with the luscious red, long-stemmed strawberries from Melissa’s.

These delicate fruits ripen on the vine and are picked at their peak for sweetness and color. What would be more suitable to enhance the strawberries’ natural sweetness than chocolate? For a perfect pairing, it comes with a bottle of Melissa’s Chocolate Dessert Sauce to make this gift a truly decadent treat. Enjoy Melissa’s Strawberries and Chocolate with a special person or with family and friends.

To make it really festive for the 4th of July, I added some red, white and blue sprinkles.
