The Sweet and Salt of the Earth

From infused foam to fleur de sel, you’re always up on the latest food trend.

So why is it when you get a chocolate craving, you settle for whatever’s within arm’s reach at the supermarket checkout?

Put a stop to such silliness. Poco Dolce chocolates are the latest sweets for your sophisticated palate. The bittersweet chocolate tiles are topped with gray sea salt, so they satiate both sweet and salty cravings. And they’re brimming with bits of almonds, crystallized ginger, burnt caramel toffee, and Aztec chile.

Kathy Wiley, the genius behind the confections, uses all-natural ingredients from local purveyors like Guittard, and for a $5 fee, she’ll deliver the adorably packaged sweets to your San Francisco doorstep.

So you can bypass the checkout line altogether.
