As I live in Melbourne, the only prizes that would be appropriate for me are the pistachio hamper and the chocolate hamper. I would love to win either one of them, as they'd be perfect for sharing with my hubby!
I'd love to win either the chocolate- to give to my mother or the noosa tickets- any chance to get way and take another holiday is fine by me ;)
The just turned five yr old has discovered pistachios. Not too sure if its because they are her favourite colour, or just because they taste so yummy. Probably both haha.so the Wnderful pistachio hamper would help with her new adiction. Mummy on the other hand would love the Monty's chocolate. But my little girl always comes first (unfortunate for mummy sometimes, well most times )
Well good luck either way Samantha! :D
The Wonderful Pistachio hamper - i absolutely love pistachios but have never had flavoured pistachios before - they sounds yumm!
They are delicious Celine, I especially love the sweet chill. Good luck!
I'm in Adelaide so only the hampers would suit. I think I'd prefer the chocolate hamper, mainly because I'd love to try the Charbonnel & Walker pink Champagne truffles. They sound right up my street!
The chocolate or pistachio hamper please. Being married to a chef, it's always, always about the food!
I'd love the chocolate hamper.
Every year at Lent, I give up chocolate for 6 weeks until Easter Sunday. (including anything flavored chocolate, ie. Chocolate ice cream, chocolate biscuits, chocolate milkshakes, etc!)
I'm a big chocoholic so it's a big sacrifice for me.
This would be a lovely treat waiting for me to indulge in on Easter Sunday.
Thank you for the opportunity.
I would love to win the Cognac and Chocolate masterclass. I really enjoy cognac and would appreciate the opportunity to learn more about it.
My fiance and I fell in love in the kitchen! Some heated arguments over the best way to temper chocolate quickly gave way to domestic romance as he melted my heart. I often make him chocolate desserts, including your amazing salted caramel chocolate tart! We'd love the opportunity to learn a bit more about chocolate, cognac and each other!
Noosa International Food and Wine Festival please! This one is on my wish list. I totally love food. And wine. I'd love to see the demos by Yoshihiro Narisawa & Tetsuya Wakuda & so many others To see them in action would be amazing. I'd take another "Mum" friend and we'd have a weekend away watching chefs, eating wonderful food, and have a vino to finish!
I'd like to win the Monty’s chocolates gift hamper because I adore chocolate!
Oooh, that chocolate! That chocolate!
It's my mum's birthday in May - she's turning 60 and doesn't want a big party or anything, however I really want to do something special for her. I would love the Noosa food and wine festival tix so I can show her how special she is!
My household donates some care packages to deployed ADF members. I would love to include some pistachios into the pack. Could I please have the pistachio pack?

The chocolate hamper. Chocolates best represent Valentines. Romantic, indulgent, whether from loved one or for self. It's always deserving and one should not deny themselves a chocolate treat.Xx
The pistachio, or chocolate hampers would be lovely, the pistachio hamper would be my favourite. I live in beautiful Toowoomba QLD. I'm also severely disabled, and would have no way of getting to Brisbane or Noosa to attend the other two events,. For people that could attend they sound great.
Good luck Dawn!
I'd love to win the Pistacchio hamper, my favourite nuts in the whole wide world and I am always happy when I eat these addictive and delicious nuts!

Awesome prizes!! Love the idea of Cognac and chocolate class, my bf is obsessed with cognac and that would be a great excuse for a trip to Brisbane! Pretty keen to check out the Noosa Food & Wine Festival also, went to my first food and wine show last year and loved it.
As for the pistachios and chocolate, my mouth is watering...
Wow there are some great prizes on offer. I'm hoping I might be luck enough to win one :)
I would love to win the chocolate hamper, because who doesn't love fine chocolate, but mostly because the words "salted caramels" well and truly caught my attention.
I'd like to win any of the three to be honest, but I'd particularly love the Cognac & chocolate masterclass. My partner and I love spending time together cooking, eating and sharing food. Any celebration is not complete without charing something absolutely decadent, and being that the masterclass actually falls on our six year anniversary...what better way to celebrate?
