Purdys Chocolatier

Dear Santa Bars – Make a difference this season with this creamy milk chocolate bar with lots of crunchy salted butter toffee bits. $2 from every purchase of this bar is donated to a partnering Children’s Hospital Foundation. Purdys Chocolatier’s Dear Santa campaign began in 2019 when we learned that the number one concern for children in hospitals is that Santa won’t be able to find them at Christmas.
