The Woman-Owned Confections Company Offers Delightful Treats for Every Occasion
Seattle, WA (May 2, 2022) — Today, Seattle Chocolate introduces its Chocolate Greetings Collection, providing fun and whimsical ways to show love, celebration, and gratitude through brightly packaged chocolate treats. Comprising the company’s signature truffle bars, truffles, and gift boxes, the Chocolate Greetings Collection is suited for any occasion with deliciously festive flavors inspired by chocolate chip cookies, birthday cake, and more.
As a woman-owned and operated company, Seattle Chocolate’s mission is to celebrate and empower the next generation of girls. At the beginning of 2022, the company partnered with Girls Inc. to donate 10% of net profits from all sales to inspiring girls to become their strongest, smartest, and boldest selves. “At its root, Seattle Chocolate’s goal is to brighten people’s days,” said CEO Jean Thompson. “With our Girls Inc. partnership, every purchase from the Chocolate Greetings Collection uplifts young girls while offering the chance to bring a little sweetness to someone’s day through a colorful chocolate gift.”
In alignment with Seattle Chocolate’s goal of female empowerment, the company selected a woman artist to design the Chocolate Greetings Collection’s packaging. New England-based Ali Mac designed labels that boast the artist’s signature bright, quirky style. “I’m a huge chocolate lover, second only to my love of all things colorful and whimsical – so working on a celebratory collection with Seattle Chocolate was an absolute treat!,” Mac said of the collaboration.
The Celebrate Collection includes the following truffle bars, truffle bag, and gift boxes:
- Happy Birthday Truffle Bar ($4.99/bar) – A milk chocolate bar with a colorful white chocolate center filled with naturally *vegetable dyed colored confetti candy, featuring notes of yellow cake and vanilla frosting.
