Recipe Shout-Out 5 and Sweet Treat Giveaway!

As those of you who are also students must know, finals time is upon us! I have literally just spent the past 3 days straight looking at all variety of fetal pig dissection photos to prepare for my test today, and I cannot express to you the full extent of my relief to (hopefully) never ever have to look at another one of those images again!

So that was perhaps not the most appetizing intro... But I actually brought up finals because to me there's nothing quite like a really satisfying indulgence to celebrate another year of hard work (academic or not) and the arrival of my favorite season for play, Summer! For those who agree with me, I hereby present you with my 5th Recipe Shout-Out (to recognize everyone who's been inspired to cook and bake from my posts) and another baked goods giveaway!

I'm giving away a batch of ANY COOKIES, BROWNIES, or OTHER BARS featured on this blog (must be stable enough to ship). I regret to say that this giveaway is limited to addresses in the continental US since baked goods are quite perishable. To enter, do as many of the following as you want and leave a separate comment for each thing you do! Please also make sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you win. The giveaway will close on May 10 at midnight, and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter.

• Leave a comment telling me which cookies you'd like if you were to win.
• Like 6 Bittersweets on Facebook, then leave a comment telling me you did or already do.
• Subscribe to this blog, then leave a comment telling me you did or already do.
• Follow 6 Bittersweets on Twitter, then leave a comment telling me you did or already do including your Twitter name.
• Tweet about this giveaway, tagging me @6bittersweets, then leave a comment telling me including a link to the post.

Lastly, if you (1) posted about a 6 Bittersweets-inspired recipe and I missed it; (2) made a recipe and took a photo, but don't have a blog; or (3) post about a recipe of mine in the future, please email me your name, photo, and blog post URL (if applicable) and I'll be sure to include it in my next round-up. Now let's see what you've been inspired to whip up!
