Press Release Body: BOONTON, NJ -- Not all sugars are created equal, and it's
something that leaves vegans very thankful.

The majority of sugars and sweets on the market in the United States contain sugars
that are refined using animal products. According to Jo Stepaniak of VegSource, more
than half of the sugar cane refineries in the U.S. use charcoal made from animals
bones in the filtration process. Sugar is so commonly refined with the use of bone
char because it makes the sugar colorless, or white.

Rose City Chocolatier confirmed its guarantee today that their line of vegan
chocolates contain no animal products in the processing of the sugar used. Using
only beet sugars and all natural products, Rose City's fine, handmade, vegan Belgian
chocolates are created with only the finest ingredients in each and every piece.
Vegans can delight in Rose City's commitment to offering chocolates made from all
natural, fresh ingredients, and their exquisite vegan line is not one to be
underestimated.

Their new Vegan Peanut Butter Truffles marry premium 60% dark chocolate with
all-natural peanut butter. The vegan hazelnut selection provides a deliciously
creamy chocolate with the toasted flavor of hazelnut. Rose City's entire selection
of chocolates is made without the use of hydrogenated oils, stabilizers, artificial
flavors or animal products of any kind, while still maintaining flavor and
freshness.

Each chocolate is hand created by a small, family owned chocolatier in northern
Belgium that takes pride in their work, putting extreme care into creating each
chocolate the old fashioned way. It's their high quality chocolates that inspired
owner Gene Bohensky to open Rose City Chocolatier in Boonton, New Jersey.

"I had never tasted anything so fresh," states Rose City owner Gene Bohensky, "and I
wondered why such chocolates were never found in the United States."

Rose City offers custom, personalized packaging of their vegan chocolates, which are
popular for weddings, showers or corporate gift giving. Packaging can include a
bride and groom's name, date of the event, a corporate logo, or other information as
needed. Customers can select each chocolate they'd like provided in their box, or
Rose City can offer a variety of chocolates for a spectacular flavor sampling. Every
box contains a photo listing of the shapes and flavors of each of the chocolates.

Rose City Chocolatier's chocolates may be purchased at their retail location in
Boonton, New Jersey, and at select chocolate and gift boutiques nationwide. They
offer a full online shopping experience at www.RoseCityChocolates.com.
