If your knife skills could best Martin Yang’s, and your top-secret pie crust recipe would make Padma Lakshmi swoon, here’s your chance to prove your culinary prowess to the world.
TuttiFoodie.com and Scharffen Berger Chocolate are sponsoring the 3rd annual Chocolate Adventure Contest, with two $10,000 grand prizes and a selection of premium Scharffen Berger chocolate to be awarded to the creators of the most innovative and delicious recipes.
To enter, simply check out the list of 16 adventure ingredients on the Chocolate Adventure website (chile peppers, papaya, and peanut butter are just a few of your choices), and create your own recipe that incorporates one or more of the adventure ingredients, along with Scharffen Berger chocolate, into a delectable dish—either sweet or savory will do. If you’re bursting with ideas, there’s no need to choose just one: you’re allowed to enter up to 10 recipes. To get the full scoop, visit chocolateadventurecontest.com.
In years past, winners have included software engineer, an elementary school teacher, and a paralegal—proving that you don’t need a degree from the CIA to prove your worth in the kitchen. So here’s your chance. Pick up a few blocks of Scharffen Berger and your favorite adventure ingredients and whip up something delicious. It might just earn you 10 grand, some tasty chocolate, and best of all, permanent bragging rights.
