Edwards Desserts: Reward a Mom & *Special 2 Day Giveaway*

Edwards Desserts is running the coolest promotion to spoil one lucky mom with a trip to Hollywood AND read on so I can tell you about some sweet treats that you can spoil yourself with at home (and WIN).

And the Edwards Goes To… One Mom’s Going to Hollywood

Until April 23, 2010, visitors to the Edwards Desserts Facebook Fan Page can nominate a mom (their mom, wife, friend, mother figure, etc.) who is deserving of the spotlight for a once-in-a-lifetime red-carpet experience.

To nominate a mom, visitors simply pick a mom from your Friends List and write a short essay (250-1,000 characters).  To help your nominee stand out, you can upload a photo or video in support of your number one mom. All eligible entries will be judged by a panel based on the following criteria:

1. Creativity (20%)
2. Poignancy (potential for the story to move/inspire people) (20%)
3. Originality/authenticity of content (20%)
4. Persuasiveness as to why the nominee deserves thanks and recognition for her efforts and dedication to others (40%)

Up to 10 finalists will be announced just after Mother’s Day on May 10^th, 2010 and Edwards Desserts will open the voting to Facebook users.  People can keep up with the contest when they become a fan of the Edwards Desserts Facebook page.

One lucky mom will win a first-class trip for two to Hollywood, including five-star hotel accommodations and tickets to an exclusive red-carpet event. Plus a supply of Edwards Singles desserts to enjoy all year long.

Edwards Singles Á La Mode!

Edwards® Singles Á La Modes combine cool, creamy ice cream and hot, fresh baked tastes for a complete à la mode experience. Each easy-to-prepare dessert bakes hot in the microwave in less than one minute and is topped with cool, creamy ice cream for a dessert you deserve.

I received some coupons to try the Edwards Singles Á La Mode and they are, I have to admit, better than I expected. One Á La Mode package contains two dessert bakes that need to cook in the microwave and two containers of ice cream and toppings. The brownie bake literally looks like a large spoonful of brownie dough, but after 40 seconds in the microwave it’s a little warm brownie. The ice cream topping is in a container that perfectly squeezes to get the ice cream on top of your warm bake.

I’m a big brownie fan – I love brownies in all form – so this is a great option for last minute, single serving dessert. It’s perfect for me to make nights when my husband’s out of town abut I need my dessert fix. Is it just like homemade? No. But, I have to say, it’s a pretty good simple, sweet and quick alternative.

Shop! Edwards Singles Á La Modes are in grocery stores nationwide. They are available in six varieties including Fudge Brownie, Apple Crisp, Molten Lava Cake, Apple Crumb Cake, Turtle Brownie and Chocolate Chip Cookie. At my local (slightly overpriced) grocery store, the Á La Modes are $3.25 for a package that includes two servings.

Win! Two people will receive a couple coupons for free Edwards Singles Á La Modes.

How to Enter: Leave a comment here telling me one flavor you’d like to try. (I mentioned them above in purple.)

This 48 hour giveaway ends April 18.
