Perfecting the Art of Conversuasion

Serious Snacking Alert + PC #Giveaway

By

NOTE: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only.

What can I say about President’s Choice that I haven’t already said? Yes, I love the brand, yada, yada, yada. No, you’ll never catch me shopping at a grocery store that doesn’t carry PC products, yada, yada, yada.

I know and you know – and I know that you know – I am obsessed with President’s Choice.

But what is it that keeps me coming back for more? Simply put, I am constantly amazed by their innovative products, delicious recipes and affordable luxuries. Frequently, I find myself shunning popular brand-name items in favour of PC’s offerings, and, coming from someone who was raised to only buy the highest quality, that says a lot about my confidence in the company.

PC ketchup. PC chicken wings. Even PC lawn chairs! If they make it, I’ll buy it.

(Though I may draw the line at PC condoms. Dear Mr. Weston: Please do not make PC condoms; I don’t want to be confronted with having to make that choice.)

Anyhoo, if you’ve got a serious snacking addiction like moi, you may want to stop reading here. Because I’m absolutely certain of one thing: You will LOVE all of the following products in a mildly obsessive manner. Even though I received the goodies as part of a press drop two weeks ago, I’ve already replaced most of them at our last grocery run. (The Honey Chipotle Almonds I’ve replaced twice. My hips just sighed in defeat.)

Snack on, friends, snack on! And… read on for an amazing giveaway!

Decadent Chocolate Chip Bars: All the goodness of your fave PC cookie – in bar form – and peanut free! Plus, they’re perfectly portioned for little hands and tummies. I must admit I didn’t bother reading the package and just tore into these, thinking they were granola bars and hence, acceptable for breakfast. It was on the third morning that I realized I was actually eating a dessert bar. #oops #mybad

On the bright side: Best “granola” bar ever!

PC Pita Crackers (Black Olive and Feta): This one will take serious snackers over the edge. But don’t trust me – trust my very picky two-year-old! It’s true: Reid pretty much polished off a package himself. Savory pita bites that are perfect for dipping, topping or enjoying on their own.

PC Kettle Cooked Almonds (Honey Chipotle): If the pita crackers take serious snackers over the edge, these kettle cooked almonds will make you combust. Exceptionally crunchy almonds irresistibly flavoured with honey and chipotle? Heck ya.

PC Black Label Porcini Mushroom Glaze: Three quick instructions:

1. Boil new potatoes in salted water until they are fork-tender; drain and cut in half.
2. Fire up a large skillet with a thin layer of light olive oil; fry potatoes cut-side down until they are brown and crispy.
3. Remove from pan, transfer to large bowl, and toss with about 1 tablespoon (or to taste) of PC Black Label Porcini Mushroom Glaze. Et voila – the perfect accompaniment for roasted chicken or steak. YUM.

PC White Cheddar and Jalapeno Dipping Sauce: Tangy and cheesy with a hint of heat.

Tons of more delicious snacking options can be found at www.presidentschoice.ca.

But be forewarned: Once you start, you may need an intervention to stop. (Typed as I dust Honey Chipotle dust from my fingers. Send help. And maybe refreshments.)

    PC Mini Chocolate Coated Cheesecakes – I know these aren’t really “snacks” but we had them for a dinner party once and they were so good! They’re like bite size pieces too so you could technically have them as a snack! ;)

  10. Nancy

    Man! PC is where it’s AT. Seriously. I have racked up 700 worth of PC points with my PC MasterCard…and I love it because it has no yearly fee. (I sound like an endorsement). It’s always our first stopshop.

  43. stacey dempsey

    I dont know if this is a snack, more of an indulgence treat lol but the Double Chocolate Brownies are really good

  54. Nicole vijayasingham

    I absolutely love anything by PC! Their products are of the highest quality and at great price points it’s a no brainer for me when grocery shopping. I love their marinades especially their souvlaki and memories of montago bay as it makes dinner fast, easy and delicious when I’m in a rush. Would love to try the other products you mentioned!

  55. raz

    I almost picked up PC ketchup the other day but stuck with the Heinz that my husband loves. He states that nothing compares to it, I might have to try and test out the PC stuff next time.

  79. AC

    Honey chipotle almonds you say and already bought two more?! Will definitely have to give that a try! Still hoping they’d bring back the double chocolate crunch cereal…

  82. Lisa KH

    I am in love with the new Bacon Marmalade. Seriously – I was so excited when I first saw it on the shelf that I told everyone in line at the check out that I had *B*A*C*O*N* *M*A*R*M*A*L*A*D*E*

    Love, love, love PC products! And snacking is a dangerous hobby in this household — we even have a dedicated cabinet for snacks. *guilty* Love their PC Chips and Chocolate almonds (weakness). Also being a huge fan of dip, love their dips! Will have to try those pita crackers! Yum!!!

  163. Stephanie

    I love PC products – especially their Decadent cookies, but also their ice cream, chips and their Blue Menu items! So much goodness to choose from!

  179. Pamalot

    I like the decadent chocolate chip cookies but my absolute fave is the chocolate peanut butter cup ice cream.

  184. Paul G..

    I just can’t resist the PC Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies – I get a package nearly every time I go for groceries.

  192. brenda

    the latest and greatest savoury snack are the large samosas – in 20 minutes you have a really delicious snack…or small meal.

  230. Lori B

    Love the spinach dip and the roasted red pepper dip. They are great with chips, crackers or cut up veggies.

  231. Cherz

    I just went grocery shopping today too! I wasn’t sure which snack to pickup so I walked away. Now this does help just makes me want to run into the car and pick them all up :)

  232. Joyce Poyton

    I love the Presidents Choice Decadent Chocolate Chip cookies. They never last more than a day in my house.

  235. Harvinder K S

    I love the PC Decadent Chocolate Chip cookies. I can’t keep a box in my house for more than a day.

  237. Lori Bazan

    PC White Cheddar and Jalapeno Dipping Sauce-I jsut tried this and its a great dip, perfect for fish, chicken nuggets, taquitos…taco’s. Even my husband loved it and he does not like spicy!

  238. Carole

    I love PC products and shop at Loblaw’s or Fortino’s all the time. Our absolute favorite are the gourmet potato chips with all the crazy flavours.

  241. angie smith

    my favorite snack would be the PC organics sea salt chips bc I can actually eat them safely unlike other chips that are full of milk!! :S I am a die hard PC girl too!

  242. Christine O'Connor

    PC original salsa is one of my favs of PC products. I don’t like chunky salsa and this salsa tastes homemade.

  244. Gina

    PC vanilla or maple fudge – this is sooo good but only comes out over the holidays! Definitely my favourite snack!

  249. Shari K

    Definitely their decadent chocolate chip cookies! It looks like I’m not alone on this one!!! :-)

  252. Paula Schuck

    All the pc cookies are great! There are some cheesecake type ones that are raspberry and also a caramel version too. Decadent and yummy!

    I live the recipe to riches little grenades appetizers too.

  261. Becky

    I love PC Blood Orange Soda. I don’t know if that counts as a snack food or not though. Presidents Choice also makes great chips, ice-cream, and cookies!! My favourite PC product is there Beer and Chipotle BBQ sauce!! We use many bottles each summer it goes on EVERYTHING!
