Seattle Chocolate is debuting its Sunshine Collection in tandem with a companywide philanthropic mission supporting Girls Inc., a nonprofit that inspires girls across the U.S. and Canada to be their strongest, smartest, and boldest selves.
Moving forward, Seattle Chocolate will donate 10 percent of net profits from all sales to Girls Inc.
“Since day one, Seattle Chocolate’s mission has been to ‘brighten days through chocolate,’” says CEO and owner Jean Thompson, in a statement. “As a mother and a female entrepreneur, uplifting and inspiring young girls is so important to me, and we’re thrilled to now be supporting Girls Inc. with our entire product line.”
With its bright wrappers and youthful flavors, the new Sunshine Collection ushers in the company’s new giving mission in support of Girls Inc.
Seattle Chocolate worked closely with Amsterdam-based illustrator Bodil Jane, known for her colorful, detailed, and female-focused images, to design the collection. The Sunshine Collection includes the following new truffle bar, truffle bag, and care package:
• You Are Sunshine Truffle Bar: Creamy milk chocolate truffle bar with a distinctive meltaway center loaded with honey nut oat cereal pieces.
• Shine On Truffle Bag: Includes Malted Milk Ball, Peanut Butter, Pink Bubbly, San Juan Sea Salt, Milk Chocolate, Blackberry Creme, Champagne, and Salted Almond.
• Sunshine Care Package: You Are Sunshine Truffle Bar, Shine On Truffle Bag, white chocolate sun-shaped lollipop, postcard, and limited edition sticker sheet.
Seattle Chocolate is available in select retailers nationwide, including Wegmans, Central Market, Lunds & Byerlys, and select Whole Foods.
