Hello, my name is not Inigo Montoya. Prepare to die anyway.

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to Steve G., Roxanna, & Sky! I’ll be contacting you via e-mail and you’ll have four days to respond. If I don’t hear from you, then I’ll have to choose a new winner. Thank you to everyone who participated and thank you to Little Debbie for providing the prizes!

Those of you who watch your feedreaders faithfully, waiting for the thrill of the Don’t Try This at Home update . . . today I reward you! Your waiting has not been in vain, my friends. I come bearing a giveaway.

I have loved Little Debbie snacks since I was a little girl. My favorites back then were the Nutty Bars, Star Crunch, and the Swiss Cake Rolls (which I still crave). A few months ago Little Debbie approached me with the opportunity to try their new 100-calorie snacks and I fell in love again. Hello? You mean you just give me a smaller portion but keep the flavor? I’ll take a full flavor, smaller-sized snack over a cardboard snack any day! Then, a few weeks ago, I received another box from Little Debbie, this time filled with five boxes of individually-wrapped muffins. Oh sweet snacks of love! I’m here to tell you I love me some muffins. And Chili, Jr.? Unabashedly devoted to muffins. And Max? He’s macho about it, but yessirree, he loves the muffins too.

So we’ve tried them all: blueberry, cranberry & orange, chocolate chip, double chocolate, and lemon. My favorite is the cranberry & orange; it’s great for a quick breakfast with some hot (who am I kidding?) ICED tea. They are also just the right size for a snack. Which is one of the things I like about the 100-calorie snacks and these muffins–they aren’t a meal. So many snacks today are as big as a meal or hold as many calories as two meals. These are actual snacks that take the edge off your hunger until you can eat a healthy meal. The only complaint I have? I wish Little Debbie would use real sugar instead of High Fructose Corn Syrup. But that’s hardly a Little Debbie issue, I wish everyone would stop using HFCS. It would just be completely awesome if Little Debbie led the way.

So! We love the muffins! We love Little Debbie! And we want to share the love with you! Three winners will receive their very own boxes of Little Debbie muffins to try. Your package will include all five flavors we tried: blueberry, cranberry & orange, chocolate chip, double chocolate, and lemon. Are you interested in winning? Leave me a comment telling me what your favorite Little Debbie snack is or your favorite Little Debbie snack memory. You won’t win if you don’t follow that rule. Comments like “I wanna win” or “Pick me” won’t be chosen.

Also, don’t enter more than once because duplicate entries will mean that you don’t get any entries. Just so you know and all. And no anonymous comments because, hello? How can I contact you if you’re anonymous? Just sayin’.

Finally, the rest of the rules:

• This giveaway is open to US residents only.
• You don’t have to be a blogger to play along, but you do have to have an e-mail address.
• I’ll pick a winner on Friday, June 12 and contact you that same day via e-mail. You have four days to respond. If I don’t hear from you by then, I’ll have to choose a new winner. Make sure you’re checking your spam folder!

I’ve told you my favorite snacks, but my favorite memory is running in from playing outside and knowing that my mom would always have Little Debbies waiting for us in the pantry. Seriously. There was never a time when I didn’t have access to a Nutty Bar, a Swiss Cake Roll, or a Star Crunch depending on what my fancy was. That’s a pretty good memory to have, don’t you think? Now let’s hear yours.
