• Poco Dolce Bittersweet Tiles

  

  CLASSIC HOST GIFTS

  Friends of ours included these in hotel baskets for members of their wedding party, and they’re one of those perfect things. The packaging is impeccable, each “tile” is just the right amount of chocolate, and the crunchy sea salt sprinkled on top brings out the savory notes in the burnt caramel. I wish I had one right now.
