FAQs

Do you have any Peanuts or Tree Nuts in your Facility?

NEVER!

 

Are you Coconut Free?

In January 2025, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released updated guidance that particularly affects the classification of food allergens, with notable changes regarding coconut. Historically categorized as a tree nut, coconut has now been removed from the FDA’s list of major food allergens.

This reclassification marks a pivotal moment. With coconut no longer subjected to stringent allergen labeling requirements applicable to tree nuts, our parent company can enhance our product offerings. This change opens up new possibilities for developing products that incorporate coconut, thereby enriching the variety available to consumers with nut allergies. Our organization has been diligently conducting research and evaluations regarding the consequences of this regulatory update, focusing on how it will benefit our customers.

**Important Update on Policy Changes** Starting April 1, 2025, we will begin to allow coconut into our facility. We understand the concerns of those who are allergic to coconut, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please rest assured that we remain committed to maintaining a peanut and tree nut free environment. Thank you for your understanding.

 

Do your products contain Dairy?

Our Chocolate contains dairy and therefore any items, even if dairy is not an ingredient, has a high potential to be cross contaminated.

 

Do your products contain Egg?

However, we always caution that an item could be cross contaminated. Cross contamination risk is low but not impossible.

Should I refrigerate fudge?

Some people enjoy cold fudge, but it will be fine at room temperature.

 

How does the weather affect fudge?

Hot weather can cause fudge to get dried out, while moisture or high humidity can cause fudge to become too soft or worse, moldy.

 

What should I do if my fudge dries out?

You can try putting the fudge in a sealed plastic bag with a wet paper towel overnight to let it absorb some of the moisture.

If you’d rather not wait, you can always try microwaving the fudge for 15 seconds.

 

What are the main ingredients in your fudge?

We use the same ingredients in our fudge that you’ll find in many classic fudge recipes: butter, brown sugar and dairy.

 

Is any of your candy vegan?

No. Between the milk products used to make chocolate and fudge and the gelatin that goes into our candy, none of our products can rightly be called vegan.

 

How should candy be stored?

Like fudge and chocolate, you can store candy at room temperature (60-68°).
