Halloween Candy Worth Dressing Up For

Fun and fashionable American chocolate maker Seattle Chocolates brings a touch of whimsy to Halloween with the introduction of two limited-edition, all-natural truffle bars: Dead Sea Salt and Bloody Orange. The bars, which are available online and at thousands of independently owned groceries and boutiques nationally, make welcome hostess gifts for Halloween parties and a frighteningly delightful surprise for friends, teachers, colleagues or your favorite trick-or-treaters.

Dead Sea Salt Milk Chocolate Truffle Bar with Sea Salt & Toffee 
(SRP $3.00/2.5oz bar) 
Seattle Chocolates' popular San Juan Sea Salt Bar gets a spooktacular makeover in this sweet & salty chocolate blend. Made with buttery toffee pieces, sea salt, and creamy milk chocolate, this combo will please even the most discriminating chocolate palate.

Bloody Orange Dark Chocolate Truffle Bar with Candied Orange Peel 
(SRP $3.00/2.5oz bar) 
This tongue-tingling flavor combination brings together rich, dark chocolate with the lively flavor of candied orange peel made from fresh navel oranges.

The company also offers a Halloween Assortment truffle bag, a five-ounce assortment of Dark Chocolate and Toffee truffles festively wrapped in orange and black foil and tied with a vibrant orange ribbon. The Fall Assortment is a five-ounce assortment of Peanut Butter, Toffee and Espresso Truffles wrapped in fall colors and tied with an elegant brown ribbon. Both assortments come with a holiday appropriate tag for easy gifting (SRP $7.95/approx. 15 pieces).

Seattle Chocolates will release its 1950s-inspired "Baby, It's Cold Outside" holiday collection on October 1.
