How should I store my chocolate?
If you are not eating your chocolate right away, make sure you store it in a cool, dark, and dry place such as a cupboard. Make sure you do not store it close to very aromatic items such as coffee, as the chocolate can absorb the scent. Do not store it in a refrigerator, as it is too humid for the chocolate.How long will my chocolate last?
We often hear our customers say ‘it looks too good to eat’ which we love, but why deprive yourself of that decadence?! It’s meant to be eaten. If stored properly, plain chocolate is good for up to two years. Chocolate with fruit added will be good for 6 months. We suggest eating truffles within one to two weeks of purchase.Do you have diabetic chocolate?
Yes, we have both a milk chocolate and dark chocolate bar available that are sweetened with the sugar alternative maltitol. We can make our fan favourite chocolate singles with the diabetic chocolate as a custom order, please Contact Us for inquiries.Is your chocolate Fair Trade?
Yes, fair trade, ethical, and sustainable products are very important for us. We use Callebaut chocolate which supports their farmers and communities in partnership with the Cocoa Horizons Foundations.Cake and Cupcakes
