It's often been said, "nothing is certain but chocolate and taxes." Or something like that.
So in lieu of Tax Day, arriving oh-so-swiftly on April 17, Portland chocolatier Dean'sSweets is offering a free truffle to customers who pop in the store any time between now and April 16.
Located at 82 Middle Street, Portland, Dean'sSweets has a sweet reputation for their hand-dipped truffles and caramels. And chocolate fans who take advantage of the Tax Day Truffle will be allowed to choose from 23 flavors, which include ginger, rum, maple, scotch, cayenne pepper, and tequila-lime.
Dean'sSweets is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday; 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday; closed Tuesdays (to better prepare for Tax Day...and recover from every other Monday).
For more information, go to www.deanssweets.com or 207-899-3664.
