The Love Letter

The Love Letter is a modern-retro envelope, enclosing a note card, one New Tree Alpha Disc, one of Bittersweet’s best-selling Vosges Mini Bars, and a $10.00 Bittersweet Gift Card. The New tree Alpha Disc is an unusual and incredibly delicious bar with flax seeds. The flax seeds give the Alpha Disc a distinctive crunch and make it rich with anti-oxidants. Fabulous handmade Bittersweet truffles are available in a variety of flavors, from hand-rolled dark, Fleur de Sel, raspberry liquor-spiked Framboise, and the scintillating Spicy, to the elegant finish of heart-shaped Blood Orange, Passion fruit and Cinnamon.
