Sweeter Cards is the first-ever greeting card and gourmet chocolate bar all in one. We are woman (and mom!) owned, use fair trade certified chocolate, recyclable packaging, and employ adults with disabilities to bring our two-for-one concept to life. Our chocolatier has been making unbelievably delicious and ethically-sourced chocolate for over 40 years, and we are proud to be based and made in St. Louis, Missouri. 

ABOUT OUR CHOCOLATE: Our sea salt caramel dark chocolate is handmade in St. Louis, using Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients. Each bar is made with soft vanilla caramel, cane sugar, fresh whipping cream, butter and Madagascar vanilla––and always topped with Mediterranean sea salt. Each batch is also hand stirred in copper kettles and made with love to ensure every single Sweeter Card is full of deliciousness that will win the card-giving game.

WE'RE PROUD OF OUR INGREDIENTS: Our chocolatier uses only the finest, natural ingredients, and our chocolate has no artificial flavors or colors, no preservatives and no hydrogenated oils. Here's more about our ingredients. 

 

STACY STAHL is the founder of Sweeter Cards, a new greeting-card-meets-chocolate bar brand based out of St Louis. As the founder of HowHeAsked.com (acquired by The Knot in 2016), this is Stacy's second business rooted in love and sentiments. Stacy is a huge cheerleader for her friends and family and has always taken the time to celebrate others – she was even on The Ellen Show after doing so for the friendliest cashier at her local Walgreen's and started Say It Forward to encourage people to share kind words with one another.

 

In her constant search for meaningful ways to be thoughtful, Stacy found it repeatedly difficult to find things that were more than a card, but less than an overly expensive (and oftentimes wasteful) gift. By combining chocolate and cheeky greeting cards, Sweeter Cards accomplishes just that!
