Dean'sSweets, maker of elegant chocolate truffles and Maine sea salt caramels, is celebrating its one-year anniversary in its location at 82 Middles Street. To mark this occasion, Dean'sSweets is launching a new and fitting item - a Champagne truffle. To say thank you to local customers for their support during the first year, Dean'sSweets is offering a free Champagne truffle to anyone who comes to their store between now and December 12, 2009. No purchase is necessary; just mention the Champagne truffle offer.

For our customers anywhere, we will include a free two-piece box of Champagne truffles with any phone or website order between now and New Year's Day, 2010.

Dean'sSweets chocolates are made in small batches in Portland, without any preservatives. Those with nut allergies can also rest assured that there are no nuts or nut products in any of Dean'sSweets truffles or caramels.

Dean'sSweets is on 82 Middle Street in Portland, and is open every day from 11-6, and 11-7 on Fridays and Saturdays. You can reach them at www.deanssweets.com or 207.899.3664.
