THANK YOU!

Thank you so much everybody who bought chocolates for Valentines Day! It turned out great and subtracting costs, I made about $500! I did have to pull an (almost) all-nighter, but it was worth it! I love making chocolates for you guys and I'm so thankful for all the support I'm getting! :)

Chocolate Extravaganza!

After the article about Rachel appeared in the newspaper, a very kind lady from the Pocatello Community Charter School called and invited Rachel and Sarah to be vendors at their annual Spring Fundraiser, The PCCS Chocolate Extravaganza! People pay a fee to get in, and then get to taste everything chocolate from truffles to crepes, to shooters, mousse, and cookies! They also have an auction to raise more money. The Sweet Treets girls brought 200 Oreo Truffles as samples and had the opportunity to advertise their business with these samples, business cards and fliers.


The most awesome thing about it all was that the lady that invited them to be vendors at their event actually paid for the truffles Rachel made. It was so generous and kind. I'm quite sure nobody else got that offer. I got to go with them as their "adult chaperon" since there would be alcohol served there. It was really fun to see people's reaction to these sweet little truffles...and girls. People were so kind and complimentary, and so friendly. It was a good experience for the girls to be able to learn to "sell" themselves, be positive, friendly, and go out of their way to talk to strangers. (Something I don't recommend in other situations!) They were so good at it, they were given the "Spirit Award". There was competition for best presentation, best drink, best non-dessert, and "People's Choice". This was decided by votes (dollars) put in a jar on each table. The girls got so excited each time somebody came by and dropped a bill in their jar and told them they were their favorite. They didn't win that, but their "votes" earned another $14 for the charter school. It was so fun!


It was also through the newspaper article and this connection to the charter school's fundraiser that the girls have been invited by Stephanie and Neal Alston to their shop in Old Town Pocatello for the First Friday Art Walk in April. They will be at Alston Ink on April 1st giving out samples and selling Easter Bunnies and other Sweet Treets and doing more of that "talking to strangers" I referred to earlier. Should be a fun event as well, and such a good advertising tool for them. The people of Pocatello are so thoughtful, generous and kind... Thank you, Pocatello!!

Gourmet Chocolates also available for Valentine's Day!


A few of our customers requested that we offer the Mix and Match Gourmet Chocolates again like we did for Christmas. We decided if you want them, then we'll make them! Instead of peppermint bark, though, we'll be substituting a dark chocolate peppermint patty (like York Peppermint Patties) for Valentine's Day. They will sell for $4.00 per 1/4 lb. and be offered along with our Oreo Truffles, Peanut Butter Blobs and Chewy Caramels like before. Click HERE to see what else we're selling for Valentine's Day!

Congressional Leadership Youth Conference

Long name, huh? Well, it's Rachel! Last spring/summerish, I got a letter in the mail that invited me to a four day youth leadership conference in Helena, Montana, which is happening this summer. When I'm there, I'll listen to speakers talk to us about our future and teaching us about leadership skills that will help us later in our lives. Since I'm going by myself, I'll be making new friends and having lots of fun. This cost my parents $1519, and I'm supposed to pay it back! Yippee! So, if you could help me with this by ordering chocolate for Valentines Day, that would be so fabulous! Thanks! (And keep your eye out for Easter chocolates too!) :]
