Jean Thompson, Seattle Chocolates owner and CEO says, "We had such a terrific response to our Summer Love bar flavors customers asked for more. Valentine's Day seemed the perfect occasion to create new flavors that are fun to share." She continues, "Our designers were inspired by doodles and dreamy handwritten notes and all that is whimsical in love and in chocolate."

The new and improved "Red Hot" truffle bar is created with him in mind using the finest dark chocolate with cinnamon oil and crushed cinnamon candy pieces that add a sweet and spicy texture and finish.

"Pink Bubbly" is crafted using freeze dried raspberries in white chocolate with champagne and all-natural popping candy pieces that tickle the palate like champagne bubbles in dark chocolate. The result is sweet, tart and lightly effervescent, just like her.

Seattle Chocolates has long been known for combining premium chocolate with fine, all-natural ingredients, never compromising on quality, or covering harsh flavor notes by adding sugar. So while the His and Hers Valentine's Truffle Bars are wrapped in whimsy and filled with fun, rest assured that these bars deliver the very finest chocolate indulgence for your sweetheart.

The Valentine's Day bars retail for approximately $3.00 and are available January 1 through February 14 in specialty boutiques and fine grocery stores across the country and online at http://www.seattlechocolates.com.
