Disset Chocolate, an artisanal chocolate shop on the North Fork, will introduce a new limited release chocolate bar to raise money in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
The new “Beet Breast Cancer” (BBC) bar is made completely from scratch, it combines dark chocolate with locally sourced beets that are cooked, dehydrated, and powdered, giving this vegan chocolate bar a delightfully earthy flavor and a distinctive pink color.
The BBC bars will sell for $10, with all proceeds going to Pink Aid, a charity on Long Island that helps underserved breast cancer patients. Pink Aid’s programs provide services throughout the breast cancer cycle, from free breast cancer screening and advanced testing to help cover non-medical expenses, such as household bills, food cards, wigs, recovery garments, emotional wellness services, and more. The organization has granted more than $7 million to various Long Island and Connecticut organizations in 10 years, and has helped pay nearly $1.3 million in household bills for patients.
Disset’s “Beet Breast Cancer Bars” will be available throughout the month of October, while supplies last, at Atelier Disset in Cutchogue, Eastport General Store, and Santa’s Christmas Tree Farm on the North Fork.
