UPDATE: And the winners are... NABIT36 ($20), EXAVIANNA ($20), ENUFF81020 ($50), and SORDINA ($100)

Editor's Note: Starting today, the dailySpark will host weekly "Welcome to the Weekend" giveaways! Each Friday night visit dailySpark.com to enter to win great prizes that make healthy living a little easier--and a lot more fun. Every contest will be open for one week, so return every Friday night to enter a new one and see who won (I'll choose the winners around noon on Fridays)! We hope these contests (and the time you spend on the dailySpark and SparkPeople) get your weekends off to a healthy start!

We like chocolate. (Who doesn't?) We especially like it when it's in reasonable portions and delivered to our offices just in time for Valentine's Day! That's why we're sharing Attune chocolate bars with daily probiotics. (Disclaimer: Attune Foods sent us several boxes of their bars to try.) We wanted to spread the love and so did Attune: We're giving away $190 in probiotic chocolate bars to four lucky dailySpark readers! Learn more…

We say: Two thumbs up--especially for the Dark Chocolate and Chocolate Crisp. The bars have less than 100 calories each, which makes them a great portion-controlled treat. That they contain probiotics is a bonus. Though these won't replace low-fat yogurt as our primary source of probiotics (and yogurt is full of calcium and protein), they're a nice treat that could fit into our daily diets.

They say: Mmmm…imagine the moment that you bite into the blissfully rich taste of chocolate. Now add the perfect amount of rice crisps for a satisfying crunch. Then imagine that delicious treat helps promote healthy digestive and immune systems. Add to that, our chocolate probiotic bars are gluten free and come in three decadent dairy free flavors, along with our luscious milk chocolate flavors and creamy white chocolate. Sounds dreamy. But it's not a dream. It's an Attune probiotic bar. Everything that helps you feel your best should taste this good.

  • 3-8 grams of sugar
  • Excellent source of calcium
  • Only 80-90 calories
  • 3 grams of fiber


The Prizes: two $20 prizes, one $50 prize and one $100 prize

To enter, click here! Be sure to read the rules. This contest will end one week from today at noon Friday!

Are you a fan of these giveaways? Have you tried Attune bars?

    I have never heard of Attune. I am however a chocoholic. It sounds at least healthier than the chocolate I have been eating. - 3/5/2011   7:53:13 PM

    Sorry I missed this--but a great idea - 3/5/2011   6:49:50 PM

    Wow. I forgot all about this giveaway...I never even checked who won. I never win anything so it was quite a shock to find this on my front porch today. Thanks so much. Can't wait to try them! - 3/2/2011   5:08:39 PM

    Wow!! Thank you so much. It was an awesome surprise to receive this prize in the mail today--I blogged about my prize and how you turned my really tough day around. Thank you again--I already tried out the Chocolate with Chocolate Chip Granola Munch. Yummy!! - 3/1/2011   9:51:21 PM

    Anything with chocolate is a good idea. This makes me happy. - 2/15/2011   10:48:12 AM

    I think these would be an awesome treat to indulge every once in a while. I would put them in the same category as any other good chocolate squares, since the first or second ingredient is "evaporated cane juice" or equivalent. It's still sugar when my hips are concerned!! - 2/14/2011   1:57:06 PM

    I love chocolate, I take probiotics regularly and I love to win prizes; count me in. - 2/14/2011   12:46:29 PM

    Chocolate bars are not a big temptation for me, so I think that I will not cultivate it, even in a healthier form. - 2/14/2011   10:10:47 AM

    Great idea... - 2/14/2011   8:40:49 AM

    Have tried them - OK not a big fan of 'candy" which is the category I put these in. Nice to get the give-aways! - 2/14/2011   8:17:04 AM

    Chocolate with nuts is my downfall! Bet I'd like the crispy rices one almost as much! - 2/13/2011   8:37:21 PM

    I have tried them, and I really like them, I wish my own supermarket carried them! - 2/13/2011   6:12:59 PM

    I've never seen that brand before, but will look for them, mainly because of the low amount of sugar, my husband is diabetic, and most so called "healthy" bars, have way too much sugar in them, almost as much as a regular candy bar, so he can't have them. The few that don't have alot of sugar, taste, quite frankly, FOUL, so no point in buying those! Hope these taste better, they are a sometime treat when we can't get to a place to eat when dh needs to eat, especially during travel. - 2/12/2011   11:03:46 PM

    i LOVE give-a-ways!..i get a chance to try something new..if i like it, i can find out where to buy it locally(or on-line), and, if i don't like it, it hasn't cost me a cent...keep the give-a-ways coming!..(ps, it'd be nice to win one, too) - 2/12/2011   9:54:43 AM

    Being a chocoholic I thought I was familiar with all the dark chocolates out there, but I was wrong as I have not seen "Attune" around.......will keep my eyes open for them.
    I like the idea of give aways and am grateful that a "free" site (with no strings attached) offer them.......Thanks SP

    I have never tried them but on a free site I belong to they were giving so many away one day but I didn't get one. If I had logged on earlier I would have gotten one. Its so much better to get a free one first to see how good they are and then if you want to buy one you already have an idea if you want to buy it or not. - 2/12/2011   9:38:49 AM

    4ahealthybmi: A long story, but I proudly say I lost weight by eating Krispy Kreme donuts! No lie! See, I successfully lost 43+ lbs by eating Krispy Kreme donuts while being on WW in 2003. That was the first and only time I've been successful at losing weight. Sigh. SP is only trying to teach us that a bit of indulgence is fine as long as it's eaten in moderation. - 2/12/2011   9:32:54 AM
