About Sweeter Cards (it's really just love)

 

ABOUT OUR CARDS: Sweeter Cards are the first-ever greeting card and gourmet chocolate bar all in ONE. The idea is simple: we combined our two favorite things–sending love to the people we care about and, well, chocolate–to bring innovation and taste to the gift-giving world. Our Sweeter Cards are a unique, meaningful and delicious way to share how you feel with custom illustrations that will have you and yours indulging with a smile.

ABOUT OUR CHOCOLATE: Our dark chocolate sea salt caramel is handmade in St. Louis, using Fair Trade Certified™ ingredients like soft vanilla caramel, made with cane sugar, fresh whipping cream, butter and Madagascar vanilla, all topped with Mediterranean sea salt. Each batch is 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.

 

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!
